Description: VR Immersive Fitness Gym: 6 New VR Exercises You Never Experienced. Bored with exercise? Virtual reality, immersive fitness might help you. We all want to keep fit, while the government also says in new exercise guidelines telling us to ‘Move more, sit less’. However, only 21 percent of adults are getting the minimum amount of exercise a week needed to get protective health benefits, said Aaron Stanton, Director of the Health Institute at San Francisco State.
Review: ‘VR Fitness Gym (Cycling, Marathon, Football, etc)’ is a collection of games and experiences that are designed to be used with a cycling machine. It doesn’t say which one it supports, in fact, it probably doesn’t support any of them and you can’t link it to anything anyway. So what is the idea? The idea is to cycle and enjoy the things you see around you. The developer has tried to make some of the mini-experiences a game, but trust me, a game it is not. It looks basic, costs the earth and isn’t fun to play in any way. Unless this was free and came with a cycling machine I don’t think I can recommend it. That £17.99 price tag is better of being spent on your own bike, maybe that puncture repair kit you have talked about for years!
