Get some exercise gamer guy

They study everything these days, including the health of professional video gamers. Leave it to researchers at The University of Essex in England to learn that some professonal gamers have the reflexes of a fighter pilot--that's the good news--and the fitness level of a 60-year old chain smoker. Ouch.

We interviewed a former professional gamer who used to practice and compete for at least 10 hours a day. That doesn't leave much time for getting in shape.

I also interviewed a cardiologist who said that kids who spend too much time in front of a monitor will spend time at the doctors office earlier than they'd like. If you have the body of a 60- year old when you're 25- years old you can expect to be in the hospital in your 40's.

Video games really don't interest me because I feel like I've wasted my time. Fortunately for me I don't get the same feeling after watching TV and I'm not concerned about my fighter pilot reactions.
