How new workout technology might make exercise more fun - and help keep a New Year's resolution

[@baphometslayer]

Supernatural has been great, been using it for just about a year now, down 30lbs so far and feel much better.

[@PlanetKaylah]

Supernatural changing my life! Honestly. I just had two back to back c sections, so 2 babies at home. Its been SO hard for me to get motivated to workout, but this is so much fun and it really is a workout. It motivates me to keep Going after I take the headset on and do other exercises as well. Two weeks in, so we will see how the results go!

Supernatural's Boxing is the best overall workout on Quest. This is coming from a guy who played basically every other game on the Quest (to avoid a subscription) an hour a day for a year straight to lose weight. I wish I had used Supernatural the whole time especially since the Boxing mode came out. You can play games to burn calories but Supernatural keeps your heartrate near biking levels for a more consistent amount of time which translates into hitting your calorie goals much quicker.

[@tanyabones]

It's one of my top games for sure but I have a growing rotation now, there are some really great options to mix it up ;)

[@tencia80]

I've been using Supernatural for almost 4 years. I love it.

[@PaperMario64]

I really enjoy Supernatural

[@0sirius]

Supernatural is rad. Been using it for years and they have been great about improving it over time. It is a real workout AND fun. That is the draw for sure. I won't go to a gym but I do work out in SN 4-5 times a week. This dude is awesome and I am envious he got to meet Leanne in person, she is brilliant, my workout crush fo sho.

If I had $300 to spend on fitness, I would buy more workout clothes and I would continue doing what I prefer to do for exercise which is running and walking.

Hopefully, they made it with washable parts.

[@vaalea1]

You can buy silicone grips and covers for the quest.

I have owned a meta quest 3 for over a year and i still get dizzy using it. Plus, the amount of sweat and condensation that would build up in the headset from a workout would be crazy. So no to that

[@vaalea1]

Getting dizzy on the quest does not mean you will get dizzy in supernatural. I have no problems on supernatural but when I was turning around in horizon using my controller instead of physically turning around, I felt really nauseous. Athletes buy fan attachments that pull the humidity out of the mask. I haven’t purchased one, but getting VR sweat bands (not black) made a huge difference for me as well as having a floor fan pointed at me to keep me cooler.

Imagination is Free.

[@vaalea1]

Ok? Not sure what this comment means. You eat rice and beans while imagining it’s dessert? You don’t listen to music because you compose all your own in your head?

[@citizeneveryman6798]

@vaalea1 meaning you can imagine anything you want for free and work out in your back yard in any fashion no VR needed to work out and have fun. Buying things won't get you in shape.

[@vaalea1]

@@citizeneveryman6798 if that works for you then good for you. but you can’t dismiss people who ARE seeing results using Supernatural.

[@vaalea1]

@@citizeneveryman6798 good for you. VR fitness is certainly helping people get in shape.

[@pavelsmith2267]

So space Travel and aerobics. This is the stuff of dreams for space agencies. A family trained to assist in the cyber operations of a space ship. A cryogenic distant galaxy bound human filled Conquistador Space Ship. This family would each wear the space ship suit and each would swim in virtual reality allowing the neuralink to stimulate the remote robot control system of the galactic cruiser. That's what this looks like to me.

Exercising isn’t supposed to be fun.

[@baphometslayer]

Says who lol, I have just as much fun in the gym

[@tarunrocks88]

It needs to be approachable. Lots of people who are out of shape are conscious of their body and going to the gym is intimidating for them. Having a workout they enjoy in their home or while traveling is a super power. Anyone who's ever been fit in their life knows that consistency is far more important than intensity.

[@vaalea1]

This is such a Weird comment lol.

[@Moon_Cupcake]

This isn’t new. Welcome to 2018 CBS.

[@MosesMurusha]

So what's bad about old method of exercise ?

[@baphometslayer]

@@MosesMurusha what's the timestamp in the video where this was said?

[@vaalea1]

Nothing, if you are motivated. The news clip explained people going from VR workouts to being more motivated to do other forms of exercise, and continuing to use VR to supplement.

Yes a VR workout is not a workout. As you age and get into your older years it’s been proven scientifically that it’s critical to keep as much muscle as you can. You’re not going to build muscle doing cardio. You need to strength train and actually lift some weights. Bunch of lazy people.

[@l.b.9722]

Where in the video did anyone say this method is all that is required to stay fit?

[@vaalea1]

Lazy comment.

[@PlanetKaylah]

Since when is cardio a bad thing? Lazy how? If it gets your heart rate up and gives you a workout, it's beneficial. Don't be ignorant.

[@CliveWebber]

If you ever encounter a personal trainer that tells you that you should only do strength training and no cardio conditioning or high intensity intervals, please run - don’t walk - far, far away from this person.
