VR Fitness and Weight Loss Primer
The VR Setup VR fitness requires enough space to be able to move around freely, so consider this carefully before buying anything to start your routine. For my challenge, I designated about a 9 foot by 8 foot (2.7 meter by 2.4 meter) space to be my play area. The specific space requirements vary from game to game, but to…

Sword Master VR and Bitslap are out today!
Full disclosure: I received free keys to try out both of these games. That said, there aren't a whole lot of games available right now that have given me a high-intensity workout. I've really only had HoloPoint and The Thrill of the Fight to deliver the lion's share of my VR fitness conditioning. So if it's any indication…

VR FITNESS SURVEY
Hey guys, I'm Anthony, and I'm writing a term paper on the topic of VR Fitness. Problem is, it's a research paper and I didn't really plan for the 'research' part. If any of you could take this quick survey it would help immensely, as this group is pretty much the sample size I've got. I did put it on the reddit daily…

Matt's 50 Day VR Challenge
Hello! So I'm going to go ahead and give this a shot. I'll be doing a various combination of VR games along with walking and eating better. I'm going to try and lose at least 2 lbs a week. I currently weight approximately 243 and I eventually want to get down to 190. Obviously I don't expect to hit my goal weight within 50…
How does an hour exerviving compare to an hour of biking or jogging?
One of the goals of my 50 Day VR Fitness Challenge was that it would enable me to transition from being sedentary to doing traditional fitness activities with relative ease, and I'm happy to report that it worked. In the past week I was able to bike and jog for an entire hour, something that I wouldn't have been able to…

Welcome and Introductions
Hey everyone! What inspired me to first put on a heart rate monitor and see what an hour in VR could do was hearing Joe Rogan wax philosophical about the fitness implications of VR. The notion is that in the future (which is now) gamers will be in amazing physical condition. More to the point, though, is that I've become…

Ankle/wrist weights?
Basically, I want to make my workout a little harder. It's getting to the point where I'm doing the same things but burning less calories. I know some people on here have used weighted vests but I don't think I can afford that right now. Does anybody use ankle/wrist weights? Do they help at all? Thanks in advance!
Question re Heart rate monitor accuracy when weight is decreasing
I understand that heart rate monitors estimate the calories burned based on your current weight and your pulse rate. If my weight is decreasing, does that mean I need to keep updating my weight in the app to get an accurate count of calories burned?
