Drop those stereotypes about people who play online role-playing games — chances are they're more physically fit than the average American.

I pride myself on staying physically fit, that's why I'm glad that there are finally statistics out there that show the stereotype of gamers being fat douches who do nothing all day are far from the truth. Most of us have lives!
