Video games? In MY gym?

Anyone play them on a handheld/phone or watch playthroughs when working out or is it only me??

That's not a bad idea. I might do that.

Yeah I'm still figuring out this app, I thought I was replying to another post but then once I realized what I did I figured may as well make a topic of some sort whoops

No worries. I play games but I don't workout. Does that count?

Certainly!

I watch Jeopardy (a game of sorts) and then work out. I don't think that counts though.

I do need a good way to incentivize my long outdoor walk/runs. For me, games are a good incentive; the problem is, when I tire of the particular game, I also tire of the exercise. (example: July 2016, Pokemon GO)

To add to that, the game needs to be casual, and not a game with a time limit. I've also discovered that almost every iPhone puzzle game is the same game with minor variations. (A particular company makes nothing but near-identical puzzle game "sagas"--I don't know how they stay in business.)

It was a real shame about Pokémon Go.

I typically watch playthroughs of games I enjoy. The distraction helps me from just wishing I was finished with the workout!

I was addicted to video games growing up, which became a serious problem in college and early adulthood. What REALLY helped me was, when I was into a particular game but life was getting busy, just watching a walkthrough video of the rest of the game, and being done with that game.

I've never watched walkthroughs just for entertainment, but your idea is an interesting one. I might give it a try.

Some playthroughs are alright, there's a few channels on YouTube that are good. I like to watch Game Grumps.
