VR games for burning calories? Is this true? It sure is. VR games can help you improve, not just physically but mentally as well. What VR can do (and what draws people to it) is that it is the ultimate immersive experience. Plus, VR has a lot of benefits over regular exercise:
- It keeps your mind distracted, which can allow you push a little further.
- The addictive nature of VR is built on the idea of gamification. Meaning you can collect rewards and rank against other players. It allows for more competition.
- It can increase your calories burned.
- It can be cheaper than a gym or fitness class membership.
- Plus, playing a game while exercising beats staring at a wall while doing some push-ups.

SoundBoxing is a rhythmic shadowboxing game where you create the beats. It uses YouTube videos instead of licensed music and has an endless selection of music.
It is one of the most intense punching games around. The music’s tempo determines how intense the game will be.

Sprint Vector
Sprint Vector is a game where you move your characters around obstacles. This VR game is heavily based on players using their arms constantly. Multiplayer races make it more enjoyable for players because they can race against each other. Although the majority of the exercise is for arms, you can still play this game to burn calories.
