    I got a recumbent bike from a sale at a big box store. Set up a Steam Link (yes i know its old as fuck) and a Steam Controller. I play my library of games while I bike. The last few years I play Fall Guys for anywhere from 30-60 minutes at a time.

    Great cardio. I forget I’m even doing it. Usually burn around 300-500 in a session a few times a week. All that said, I still eat like shit and can’t lose weight… BUT I am not putting any on. So thats nice I guess.

      Ha, super jealous. I’ve been joking with my crewmates that I’m going to try to set up a d-pad and four keys on the handles of the rower. I just can’t sit there for 30 minutes watching videos or just listening to an audiobook.

        Yeah I am right there with you. I constantly am checking the stopwatch. When I am actively playing a match I dont look. 8 minutes goes by. Really makes the cardio not the focus and by extension I get the workout in without noticing
