Introduction
Eddie´s here again!. Imagine burning 400 calories an hour while fighting zombies, skiing in the Alps, or dancing like a superstar. Welcome to VR fitness, where working out meets gaming! 💪
With platforms like Supernatural, FitXR, and Beat Saber, virtual reality workouts are turning boring exercise routines into immersive adventures.
