When I was in the Marine Corps, I developed a "gaming workout routine" to keep in shape and still have time to play video games where I didn't even have to leave the desk, and it worked wonders. I have always thought it would be awesome to somehow make it a more popular thing. For a while I have thought VR might be the killer app that makes it a reality.

For those interested, it was mostly just bodyweight exercises, eg between counter-strike rounds do crunches at desk, pushups, dips, etc. When I finally buy a house I have this idea that I want to design my computer desk to also be a workout desk... pullup bar and everything.

my friends and i used to play workout games (similar to drinking games) where if you die you do x pushups, if you get a kill everyone else does pushups, if your team loses everyone does pushups, etc

Desk treadmills for office-style work are fairly common (the main downside is the extra background noise from the belt), but I'm not sure how well they work with the twitchier focus of gaming stuff.
