How To Work Out To Be a Better Gamer

Prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and hand pain. Hold your arms in front you, with your hands poised as if to push. Stretch your fingers for five seconds. Drop your hands forward and relax your fingers. Next, make tight fists and hold them for five seconds. Finally, bend your wrists so your fists face down; hold them for five seconds.

Avoid eyestrain with this daily exercise. Look up, look down; look up to the right and down to the left; look up to the left and down to the right; look up and then circle the room with your eyes, clockwise. Then do it again, counterclockwise. Finally, rub your hands together until they’re warm and cup them over your eyes for one minute.

Play a sport. Most professional gamers are extremely athletic; traditional sports like soccer and basketball help sharpen skills needed to excel at video games, like quick reflexes, good timing, and strategic thinking.

Spend some time every day throwing a baseball up in the air and catching it; this will improve your hand-eye coordination.

To increase hand speed, get a punching bag and try boxing a few times a week.
