I usually do push-ups sit-up squats and lunges. Sitting too much is not heathy.

    It's a weird question. Most loading screens last no more than 20 seconds, which isn't enough to do most of the things mentioned

    Yes, usually after I finish doing a set of push-ups, the game is ready.

    Even when the screen load is short, I still get up and exercise.

    If the screen is looking to be long I will get up and go make something to eat or drink, take care of bathroom stuff or do laundry. And if it is still loading when I get back I force quit and reload.

    Most often as I have devoted time to playing the game when those long load screen occur, I research information related to the game, and read these forums.

    Blink. Maybe take a sip of tea or coffee. They only last a few seconds for me.

    it's the ESO work out plan: Every time you get a load screen, perform push ups, sit ups, or squats for as long as the load screen is on a rotating basis.

    My average 12 second load time does not give me much time.

    When I had the older xbox and a non SSD I would typically use the time to relax and close my eyes resting them from the constant monitor exposure.

    If I want to get a drink or nip to the loo then while moving from one area to another is a convenient time to do it, but I don't suffer from long loading screens so it's not an issue. Probably 20-30 seconds on average for wayshrines, while entering/exiting buildings is generally instant apart from my houses which is longer although not as long as it was when housing was first launched. I have no interest in PvP and have never been to Cyrodiil so can't comment on that.

    Loading screens are pretty short, so that is about all I have time for.
