This is how I feel. Every time I see a video of somebody in a gym all I can think is that while I appreciate the need and results, holy shit I would be so bored I would die. The idea of standing in place and doing the same repetitive motion for 20 minutes sounds like a nightmare to me.
This is going to sound like i'm sponsored or something. But I just recently purchased a relatively cheap (200$) vr, and Beatsaber alone is making me stay active for about an hr a day at least for the past two weeks. I often get bored and lack motivation but LOVE rhythm games. Just a suggestion.
I wholeheartedly recommend Pistol Whip. I've never sweat more in my life
I tried using VR to exercise with that very mediocre Avengers game (bad choice on my part, I know), but really my problem there just comes down to having a small house that really doesn't have anywhere with enough necessary place to really make that work.
Otherwise I think beatsaber is a GREAT suggestion for me, as I was formerly a massive DDR nerd
Fair enough, I have the meta quest 2 and you can set stationary boundaries so as long as you can stretch your arms out you'll be fine. I thought the same thing about lack of space and then was able to play in my small glorified closet of a room.
Maybe I can make it work by standing sideways in my office..... I might go this route.
I've heard you can mod in your own songs; do you have any experience with modding Beatsaber? If it's easy to do, that might be even more compelling reason for me
I modded it the day I bought my vr, it was kind of a hassle but there's a discord you can ask for help. It gives you access to 90k songs that you can search for and download in game.
