Many gamers I know either love their gaming chair or lament not having a really good one. Gaming is not an activity you can just get up from every half hour to stretch and reset. An online campaign can last for hours and leaving your seat may not only let your teammates down, but may lead to a huge setback in the game. Some gamers even forego bathroom breaks to secure a victory. You may not be that “hardcore” but you still deserve to game in maximum comfort; and, you would with an AKRacing Gaming chair like the one Best Buy is giving away in this contest.
Your chair matters for gaming
How much time you spend sitting in front of a screen can affect your overall health. AKRacing has years of experience creating seating for a variety of use case. Their gaming chairs are considered some of the best available. They have solid, durable metal frames and cold cure foam that holds fast and secure for a comfortable experience even after hours of first person shooter excitement. This is a premium gaming chair so you know that it will glide wherever you want it to go, in multiple positions, and adjust to suit your needs—all the while remaining silent so your gameplay is not spoiled by the squeaks and squeals often heard from lesser competitors.
Your chair matters for your health
I don’t have to tell gamers what can happen if they spend long hours in an uncomfortable chair. There are many forum discussion online of gamers complaining of back problems, digestive problems, even breathing problems brought on by making a poor seating choice. Most people don’t notice the problems at first; they develop gradually until you get to a point where you ache. Recovery can be slow too. However, you won’t recover if you continue to use the chair that caused the problem in the first place.
The best way to stay healthy is to make healthy choices before you start to ache. This contest is designed to raise awareness of one solution: AKRacing ergonomic chairs. One person will win one to start their journey to better gaming health. It isn’t the only thing gamers should do for better health.

A true gamer knows when to take the appropriate breaks for stretching, rest breaks and snacks
Best way to stay healthy is to take a good ten minutes break every hour and stretch their body. Sitting in a great ergonomic chair though must be a part of their gameplay.
I would suggest setting a timer to to take periodic breaks but I know that this would not sit well with serious gamers. I have two at home and they will not interrupt a game for a break. What I do insist on is a water bottle beside the mouse. Lots of water is good for hydration and making sure they get up whether they want to or not.
1. grandma brings them in real fresh food
2. grandpa drags them off to bed
Take breaks and go take some fresh air outside.
When gaming it’s important to take breaks, stretch, look away since it’s healthy for your eyes and drink plenty of water not to dehydrate!
My suggestion would be to take frequent breaks between sessions and to go take a walk or even play a fitness game like ring fit adventure from time to time!
Take a break and stretch every once in a while. Wiggle your toes while sitting to keep circulation in check.
Long session gamers can stay healthy by watching their posture. Honestly perhaps buying a more ergonomic tailored chair will definitely help improve spine health.
Drink lots of water.
Take frequent breaks to keep your body moving
Gamers should start off with a healthy diet and staying hydrated while gaming
Long session gamers can set a timer while they play to time their sessions to make sure they are taking necessary breaks.
Gamers can stay healthy by practicing good posture, drinking water regularly, and go outside for fresh air during breaks!
To strengthen backs for long gaming sessions, set a timer and every hour rise, stretch and do back exercises before resuming gaming..Maintaining proper posture in a well supported chair is also key to good back health
Stand up and stretch periodically while gaming to stay healthy.
Everyone including gamers can maintain/improve their health by using the online program “Fit On” which provides a variety of short exercise routines that can be customized to the individuals abilities, interests and needs.
There are sessions ranging in length from 10 minutes to an hour for various parts of the body and indifferent formats including yoga and stretching.
They are available 24/7 so it will meet everyone’s schedule.
There are alternative programs but this is the one that I am familiar with and it has done wonders for my health and sleep patterns.
Of course sensible eating and developing arm muscles to push away from the table are also crucial factors for good health.
