Do you want to lose weight and get healthier, or just work on toning your muscles? If you've just got a new VR headset, then what about starting a new fitness routine that can be done at home, while juggling other responsibilities like family and work. Whatever fitness goal is important to you, we have some ideas for how you can make it happen!
Small changes
Making small changes to your daily routine is a great way to get started on your fitness goal. For example, outside of the home and your VR headset of choice, try parking further away from the store or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. You can also add in some simple exercises to your day that only take a few minutes. A few ideas are: squats, jumping jacks, and wall sits.
Have you thought about traking your headset into your office?
Add structure
If you're looking for a more structured fitness plan to follow, there are plenty of options out there! Try finding VR apps in the Quest, Vive, SideQuest and Pico stores, there are plenty to choose from, and most come with a free trial, so you can see what suits you best.
Whatever fitness routine you decide on, make sure it's one that you'll enjoy and will stick with.
Pushed for time?
What other things can you do to maximise your fitness levels while you're time-starved? Well, you can also try to break up your workouts. For example, do a quick ten-minute BeatSabre in the morning and then another ten-minute FiT XR workout after getting home from work. Or, try doing one longer workout on the weekends.
Measure progress
One great way to start setting fitness goals is by looking at where you are right now. What are your current abilities and limitations? How much time do you haveWhatever your goal may be, it's important to set realistic expectations and create a plan that will help you achieve them.
Tip: Make use of the in-game dashboards to set goals and compete against the leaderboard.
Conclusion
Don't forget that fitness is a long-term journey, not an overnight transformation. Take one step at a time to make fitness goals for 2023 achievable and sustainable!
