Virtual World, Real Workout
While VR itself is not particularly new, consumer access to it is much more recent. With hundreds of games already available (some even good!), there's a lot of options with how we can interact in a virtual world.
Inspired by Tim Donahey (https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/54mqb0/vr_fitness_50_day_challenge_final_results/), I decided to add VR training to my regular workouts (consisting of cycling, a bit of resistance training, and racquetball, mostly) to add a little spice and liven them up. While I've not kept track of my measurements/numbers, I've gotten significantly better at the games and feel much better after these regular workouts.
There's two core games I always play, Holopoint, an archery simulator, and Thrill of the Fight, a boxing simulator. They both involve extensive upper and lower body movement and work well as cardio and body resistance, and more. Aside from those there's a LOT of "get up and move" games to play, and I regularly use Bitslap, a fast-paced memory game, and Holoball, effectively handball. In this video I also demo two other fun ones - Unseen Diplomacy, a unique non-teleporting exploration and infiltration game, and Raw Data, an incredibly fun FPS.
Enjoy and please leave any and all thoughts in the comments!
