Staying fit and healthy is more trendy than ever thanks to the ongoing global pandemic. Because of the circumstances and the need to practice social distancing, many people around the world have exercised indoors anywhere, especially the comfort of their own home.
It’s no surprise, then, that a lot of technology has been developed to aid the adjustments people have made to their exercise routines. Exercise and fitness apps, which can be downloaded directly to a phone, for example, have helped people exercise wherever it is convenient.
There are also a variety of exercise and fitness apps to download, including martial arts apps and skipping rope apps for those who enjoy using the skipping rope as part of their routine.
If you’re looking to take your workout to the next level and happen to own a virtual reality (VR) headset like Facebook’s Oculus, you might want to try VR fitness games. Here are some examples of VR fitness games:
VR fitness games: “Beat Saber”
If you’ve ever longed to have your own Star Wars lightsaber experience, Beat Saber is something to try that comes close. It is considered to be one of the most popular VR games out there and one of the most popular VR fitness games as well.
According to an article by VR Fitness Insider, the exercise in this VR fitness game is “slicing beats in specific directions by using two katana bars and moving your body to avoid oncoming walls.”
Beat Saber is available on HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, PlayStation VR, Valve Index, and Windows Mixed Reality.
