This is a continuation of my First Guide (Fitness and Video Games Volume 1) if you haven't viewed that guide yet please check it out now, it offers important information on how to use this workout plan.

If you're looking to lose weight and build muscle and lose weight, this plan offers a more balanced approach, but is also more difficult.

Extra Equipment Needed:

2 different colored (i.e. 1 Red, 1 White) 6-sided dice: Used to determine the exercise and the reps.

Week One - The same as week one in the Cardio only plan. Take it easy and get used to riding an exercise bike while playing video games.

Week Two - In addition to doing sprints during loading screens you're going to set the Digital Timer for 5 minutes, and at the end of fifteen minutes you're going to pause the game and grab the dice.

Label one dice exercise and one dice reps (i.e. Red=Exercise White=Reps), You'll roll both dice to determine the exercise and reps you're going to do. Say you roll a Red 3 and a White 6 here's the chart to determine the exercise and the reps.

P.S. You can change the exercises and the reps chart to make the workouts easier or harder, or to contain more exercises or less.

Red/Exercise Dice, White/Reps Dice

1-Squat, 3 Reps

2-Situp,  6 Reps

3-Pushup,  9 Reps

4-Lunge, 12 Reps

5-Leg Raise, 15 Reps

6-Squat Thrust, 18 reps

You rolled a Red 3 and White 6, that's means 18 pushups.  After you're done with your exercise, reset the timer, get back on the bike and play for another 5 minutes, then repeat.

Week Three - The same as week 2 only this time you're going to do two dice rolls instead of one.

Week Four - This week calls for three dice rolls.

Week Five - 4 Dice Rolls

Week Six - 5 Dice Rolls

There you have it, the Video Game Muscle Workout Plan. This workout plan will help you lose weight and build muscle at the same time. I recommend following this workout scheme. Monday On, Tuesday Off, Wednesday On, Thursday Off, Friday On, Saturday Off, Sunday On, Monday Off etc… i.e. workout every second day for 6 weeks.

You can adapt this workout plan to be used with weight machines, free weights, and any other type of cardio equipment you might have at your disposal. The whole point is to stay active while being inactive.

Keep in mind that all the exercise in the world will not change your body if you don't change your diet and eating habits. To learn more about How to change your diet check out my How to Change your Diet without Noticing Guide.

Also take a look at the Fitness and Video Games Vol. 3, to see how you can make your workout fit into whatever game you're playing.
