Contents 1) "Sugar" is NOT a food group. It tastes really good, but it instantly becomes fat if you don't work it off. And unless you're planning on doing push-ups inbetween dice rolls, you're gonna be porkier after the game.

Never underestimate the power of pretzels. They're fat free. They're filling. And most importantly, they're cheap.

Try tossing some rabbit food(baby carrots, green onions, radishes, etc) onto a serving platter, douse the stuff with a heap of Ranch dressing, and pass the tray around (remember... NO DOUBLE DIPPING!). Yeah, the Ranch dressing is full of fat, but the goodness of the veggies more than counteracts the effect.

2) If you ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY hate to work out at a gym, then do something comperable at home. You can go for a walk around the block while your GM's figuring out why his chump of an NPC got killed so easily.

Skip the damn gaming books for a month (a $100.00 savings for most of you...) and invest in some sort of exercise bike or one of those "wonder gym" thingys that you always see on the infomercials late at night. Hell, you can even put them in front of the TV and work out.

3) Or, if you're REALLY gung-ho about gaming, and still hate the gym, invest in some sparring equipment. That's right, go down to your local martial arts supply store, tell the dumbass clerk that you're Bruce Lee's third cousin on his mother's side, and that you need a bamboo training sword, a fencing helmet, and some leather gloves (it should cost you about $100.00 for all three).

Then, convince your gaming buddies to buy the same stuff as you did. Now, put on your helmets and gloves, grab your bamboo swords, and beat the living shit out of each other! Sure you'll look like dorks to everyone else, but, damnit, it'll make you feel manly to bludgeon your fellow gamers. And you'll be getting AEROBIC EXERCISE, too.

It might even add a little realism to your RPG--now that you've actually swung a sword.
