Hello,

My last community oriented thread has just ended, so I came upo with a new kind of challenge. That may be much harder for some people, since it'll require some real-life effort. Anyway sitting in front of your screen for hours makes you lazy and unhealthy, so for you who play warlight, here is a challenge:

Every time you hear the "bing" that shows a turn has passed, you need to do a specific exercise that you yourself choose depending on your current condition. I personally will exclide real-time ladder games and wargaminglive events from this.

Starting tomorrow for me it'll be 5 pushups. And it must work for all games, rt games, multi-day games etc..

Now, who will join me? (Extra points foreffort if you play warlight at work ;))

lol, great idea - I'm in - But not whilst i'm working, I don't want to be *that* guy.

"you need to do a specific exercise that you yourself choose depending on your current condition."

Does lifting (and emptying of course) a shot glass count as a valid exercise?

If so - I'm in.

If not - well, no thanks, I'm really looking for an excuse to drink more than an excuse to exercise anyway :P

That definitely counts Good Kid

Typing and clicking are good ways to exercise your wrists and fine motor control. Also, the deep, angry breathing I undertake after every more frustrating turn boosts my respiratory system.

Sounds fun, but I've got my Warlight voices disabled, so I won't be hearing any "bings" :P

sze - me or you probably can handle that, but there's a lot of people for whom a single game of 20 turns, in other words - 100 pushups would be impossible ;) for the more spherical players i'd suggest let-me-ins or squats..

Only 5 pushups per turn ??

So dissapointing Sze

Aranka - when you play 50 games a day, 30turn each, it gets up to a reasonable workout :)

Well I guess I could go outside everytime and spray that tree down there in between turns but I'm too beta for that.

I'm going to go run around the block now.

Pity my sound is always turned off and i don't hear it I guess.

im in!

... and i'm waiting on the youtube video of you doing this!

Day one update:

315 pushups done, can't really do any more...
I hope I can get up tomorrow :)

I play WarLight with the sound muted...

then you are lost!

Great idea :)

Just as JSA said, great idea! To get in shape.

What if you are le tired?

If you are tired you need to buck up!!!

thats a lot of push ups Sze lol this program is paying off hmmm maybe we could do a long term tracking of your pecks and bi-ceps for warlight weekly!!!

Update day 2:

So far I managed to do half a pushup :(
