LoL Fitness – Combining League with Tough Workouts

ShinKaigan·10/23/2014, 4:49:25 PM·3 votes·1,525 views

Hello! I am starting a stream that promotes working out and staying in shape while playing league of legends! I tried all kinds of way to keep myself in shape but it’s often difficult to stick to it. So I came up with my own exercise program that incorporates my favorite game. Either carry my team on my back or develop stronger back muscles, either way it’s a win-win.

The idea is that I have a list of exercises for the day. After every death I have in game, I have to do one set of those exercises during my death timer. If I happen to complete my list, I just loop back to the start of it and repeat until I finished a certain number of games. On some days I might not do that many reps if I do well, but on other days if I'm like feeding like no other then I just might do twice as much as a normal day. The idea that the amount I do is based on my performance turns it into a game for me and that makes it fun and enjoyable.

Here are the rules of the stream:

  • Every death I will do the next exercise in my queue during my death timer.
  • If Teemo scores the kill, the exercises are doubled. (Added by Solistia)
  • At the end of the game, I will take my number of deaths and do that many sets of exercises between games.
  • If my team surrenders, 10 burpees will be added in the post lobby workout. (Added by Valkyria)

If you have a fun idea for a rule, let me know and I'll implement it in my workout routine! As you can see a couple were added on already by a few viewers.

If you are interested in watching this in action, click here to watch my stream! I'm usually streaming Mondays through Fridays starting at 10AM PST.

If you want to see what exercises I'll be doing today or throughout the week, click here to view my workout routine.

I hope this inspires others to get up and out of their seats even if it's only for 30 seconds at a time. =)

EDIT: I changed a few of the conditions based on the suggestions of other players so it wouldn't negatively impact the game while at the same time making the workout more difficult later in the lobby.

Hey Shin, this is awesome!

I did something similar (albeit without the stream) and accrued the exercises at the end of each match. My reason for doing so was because you kinda have to focus on the game even during death, and the idea seemed to work out. However, that would make a stream way less interesting, so I commend your strategy.

My tracking sheet is a bit broken but I encourage you to use the formulas and do whatever you would like to with it. Get in touch if you have any thoughts or questions!

Dumb, add them up and do them all at the end of the game if you happen to lose. incentive to win.

I made some changes based on what viewers have said and people on this board have suggested and I think I found a good balance. Tell me what you think about it!
