If your a gamer does that not mean your fit?

Its actually a pretty interesting read (if a bit old) but I'm glad it proves the misconception of us gamers not being in shape and being total nerds with no lives is proven wrong.

How many times do you go to the gym a week vs how many hours of gaming do you do per week?

No. I didn't read the link, but there was a study not long ago (within the last year) that showed gamers were actually in better shape then non-gamers.

I don't go to the gym, it's pointless, me and my mate have all the things we need at our homes!

I spend around 10hours a week on gaming. I am fit, both physically and mentally, and fit in terms of sexiness so many girls have told me. :P

Well it was never true, just a dumb stereotype, unfortunately every race/clique has a stereotype(s).

I don't go to the gym. And I haven't played a video game in 2 weeks. And haven't played a serious video game since August really.

I'm not exactly the epitome of sexyness, but I had a friend who played quite a few games and worked at Abercrombie. That should be all you need to know.

My philosophy is if I have time to spend 4 hrs a day playing games I can at least sacrifice 1-2 of it to go work out a couple times a week.

During the time I played online games the most I think I spent a minimum of 6 hrs a week at the gym. Could go as high as 20 hrs if I played basketball with friends.

Not at all. I play games (although not as much as I used to) and I feel I'm pretty fit. I work out at least 3 times a week and I play sports. Seems like just a stereotype to me.

I play about 5 - 10 hours of video games per week and I don't go to the gym but I do try to run on a daily basis. I also play soccer every week.

I'm very fit because I have to be, my career requires it :|

I spend my time from morning till afternoon actively training with my friends. Then when I get home I sometimes just crash and play games.

I am very fit and sometimes I will spend all night on CoD4. Just because you have a hobbie that requires massive amounts of sitting down doesn't mean you arent fit. You don't say that about Chess Enthusiasts or people who love to Write.

I am pretty popular at my school, but I do a lot of nerdy things. I make all kinds of people at my school to become confortable with others.

The gym is right next to where I live and it's free for me so I go almost every day for about an hour. I don't know how much I play video games on average though.

I don't go to the gym, but that's not because I game. I just don't have the time, and I generally can't be bothered to go.

I play video games and do stuff on the computer for the entire day (and I mean the ENTIRE day), and never work out, so yeah.

I'm skinny, though.

Gaming is like any hobby. If you take the general Gears of War fans they're generally late teenagers. Late teenagers also like to boast muscle, hence they train. Then of course, you have the people that fit in with the stereotype. Very fat or very skinny, but they're a minority.
