PowerBeatsVR is an adrenaline-pumping, rhythm-based VR fitness game that transforms exercise into a fun and deeply rewarding full-body experience.

Gameplay:

This game is physically intense like no other. It will let you move, squat, sidestep, and dodge obstacles in ways you haven’t done in VR before.

Move with the beat as you punch your way through challenging obstacle courses in several virtual arenas. Shatter incoming boulders into satisfying pieces and see those calories burn.

The more you move and the stronger you hit, the higher your score. Have fun while training your agility, stamina, strength, and reflexes.

Experience intense VR workouts on higher levels of difficulty. Or choose the easier modes and just enjoy smashing stuff to the beat of a diverse and energetic soundtrack. In any case, there is a leaderboard waiting for you.

Will you take on the challenge? Are you ready to burn some calories, have fun, and experience a whole new level of motivation?

Top 12 VR Fitness Tips For Beginners

Apr 26 2020 News

Thanks to VR you can now have great workouts and stay in shape without having to go to those overcrowded gyms. By using virtual reality you can burn calories and have fun at the same time. VR fitness is the perfect solution for those who want to train at home but don’t like to get on a boring treadmill or an exercise bike. It’s an excellent way to train your stamina, reflexes, and even strength, when done properly.

Here are the best VR fitness tips for beginners, that will help you in keeping you and your hardware safe, breaking a sweat, and making your workouts as effective as possible, so you can burn through calories and enjoy your VR training.

#1 – Create enough space for your workout

Your first step in getting started with VR fitness should be to create a safe training area where you can move around without having to worry about knocking into objects or hitting walls. 10×6.5ft (3x2m) free space would be perfect. This might require you to move some furniture, but it makes sidesteps and dodging for a full body workout possible.

Once the area is prepared and you have adequate space, set up your boundaries accordingly in your VR headset. They will be shown whenever you come close to your playspace borders. In case the software of your headset automatically rotates your playspace or you just want to have another center or direction to look at when playing Steam games, get OVR Advanced Settings. It’s a great SteamVR extension that makes recentering or rotating your playspace utterly simple.

#2 – Get some VR covers

Just like in the gym, you should keep your equipment clean and sanitary so you can enjoy it for years to come. Especially when it comes to VR headsets it’s important to prevent sweat from getting onto the device. Your sweat won’t damage your headset, according to VR Fitness Insider, but the headset will become unpleasant to use. Especially when you are not the only user. VR replacement covers are the perfect solution to soak up that sweat and keep your headset in perfect shape. They are available for every major VR headset and often come in packs of two. You can wash and even sterilize some of them.

#3 – Wear a bandana or a sweatband as alternative

As an alternative to VR covers or even as addition, you can wear a bandana or a sweatband. These will also keep your sweat from dripping onto your VR headset.

#4 – Put a fan in front of your playspace

Your headset might become foggy during longer VR sessions. To avoid that fogginess, put a fan in front of your playspace pointing right at your face. It’s amazing how much an increased airflow can help to keep a clear vision.
