I use my Quest almost daily for exercise. It's a game changer in that regard. Especially, in MR, which is more aligned with the XR in this post.

- ghjfrdghibt 2y agoNever even considered that. How does it work? I don't exercise with earphones or a phone because I don't like things on my head/ears while exercising. I don't like wearing jewelry, even watches. I'm aware this is fairly unique.
- hnuser123456 2y agoThere's a game called beat saber where you have to swing light swords at blocks that fly towards/past you in sync with music. It will get you sweating pretty fast while having fun and not noticing how hard you're exerting yourself.
- bogwog 2y ago> I use my Quest almost daily for exercise. It's a game changer in that regard. I exercise almost daily without a VR/AR headset. How would that technology improve my workouts? My impression is that it's a gimmick that is not worth the costs (discomfort, increased risk of injury, sweat, privacy issues).
- crazygringo 2y agoGamification, fun, and variety. Exercise can get really monotonous for some people. But if you practice in a boxing app that also makes it a game of skill, which you enjoy more, why wouldn't you? Also, I'd guess you're much more likely to injure yourself with heavy weights in the gym, then during the more aerobic/cardio type of exercise you do in VR.
- ncr100 2y agoSuper boring without a screen, and/or headphones, for me. Need my dopamine!!! Then endorphins, go go go!
- jamesy0ung 2y agoI'm interested in using it for exercise, what apps do you use?
- nixosbestos 2y agoSynthRiders. Like Beatsaber but better IMO. Hard to put down once I start. I always leave sweaty. It has a decent community and decent custom tracks.
