Rock Band workout program

Hi, do you feel lazy and find that all you do is play Rock Band all day? Sure, if you are drumming all day, you are giving your arm muscles a nice workout, but what about your pecs and shoulders?

Worry not! The Phoenix has a solution for you:

Step 1 - Note down your score before playing the song, or use the Score Reader to find it
Step 2 - Play the song
Step 3 - Look at your new score

If you improved, you can do x push-ups and x chin-ups per y point increase.

I personally chose 2 push-ups and 1 chin-up per 10K increase. It forced me to do ~70 chin-ups and 140 push-ups yesterday!

If you do not have a chin-up bar, go buy one that you can install in a door frame. For ~30$ you will have a great piece of equipment. (And if you can afford Rock Band 2... you can afford a chin-up bar!)

That can get pretty intense pretty fast, so adapt at will.

Good thing our average point increases now are less than 50K per song, not 100K+ like they used to be! :)

You should add the following to your entry:

"It is suggested that you take energy pills prior to beginning your workout so you will have enough energy to last through the workout.

When the pills finally wear out and you crash, the workout is complete."

Heh, good one. That last part is optional... :)
