I can play like this for an hour or so

1. Get a multi elevation desk (around 20 bucks from office depot) it allows you to lower and tilt the TV UP toward you reducing neck strain

2. adding cheap armrest bars/aerobars (also around 20 bucks on Amazon) allows you to rest your elbows comfortably while riding the bike, keeping your weight forward.

3. Adding a heart rate momitor that beeps when you slow down is a good way to remind yourself to speed up.

Tips

Sweat will be a pain with the controller so keep a towel handy.

My Trainer is rather loud, so I use (in the ear) - ear buds. I originally used a cloth - full headset, but the sweat made them stank up.

Doing both tends to create a seesaw effect - Games that require alot of concentration will naturally make you slow down. Going faster (higher heart rate) tends to increase the games difficulty.

As mentioned by @AndyP below, this will likely decrease performance (at least initially) in both gaming and cycling while doing both, so I wouldn't recommend using this as a method to increase performance in cycling or gaming.

With that said - it is a decent way to burn excess calories and build muscles while performing an otherwise stagnant activity.

As mentioned below, this will decrease performance in both gaming and working out, so this isnt recommend for trying to get better, but it is a decent way to burn calories excess while doing an otherwise stagnant activity.
