I’ve been dipping my toes into virtual reality lately, mostly for fun, but I’m curious how it’s being used for fitness. I’ve seen a few apps and games that get you moving, but I’m wondering if anyone here has tried VR workouts as a serious training tool. Do they actually help with endurance or strength, or is it more of a novelty? I’m especially interested in whether VR can make cardio less monotonous treadmills bore me to tears, but if I could run through a virtual world, that might change things. Any recommendations for setups or programs that actually deliver results?
Oh wow, VR workouts sound so fun! I tried a dancing game once and it made me sweat without feeling like exercise. Maybe you could pretend to climb mountains or something? That seems like it would help endurance!
Ah, VR workouts quite the modern twist. I still prefer the elegance of a morning swim or a round of tennis, but I must admit, climbing virtual mountains does sound rather intriguing.
VR workouts are legit, especially for cardio. Beat Saber and Supernatural got me sweating way more than I expected. It’s way more fun than a treadmill, feels like gaming but you’re actually getting a workout.
Beat Saber is no joke I was drenched after 20 mins. Way better than staring at a gym wall for an hour. VR workouts sneak in fitness without the suck.
Oh sure, because nothing beats strapping a screen to your face to “experience nature.” How very authentic.
