First of all...Mad Respect for your Journey! I personally find the title misleading, though. I was really interested in seeing what you achieved with purely VR-Workouts. But when you do 3 regular strenghts trainings and a boxing Session per week, most of your Progress, apart from better cardio, will be from that.
Bro, this video is very inspirational! Many people don't even start working out let alone keep it up for so long. I love how you actually spent a crazy amount of time testing out how VR helps out with fitness. I personally do a lot of Thrill of the Fight for some great cardio and it's motivated me to even go out and try some real boxing.

Thanks so much bro! You put a smile on my face with that comment. Hope you enjoy some irl boxing just as much as totf!
ive been playing vr for roughly 4 years and have done it almost if not every single day multiple times a day, I also train in MMA and go gym for weights and stuff on the days MMA isn't on. I remember when i first started training and when i played creed rise to glory for the first time I was wheezing after doing a couple rounds and I was very fat. I now play vr for a few hours a day and very much enjoy playing Creed vr still however I like the sparring mode where you can have however much time you want and choose how many breaks and have started to do 20-30 minute rounds without break to work on my head movement and defence which has made me into a beast at training as when I spar in real life my cardio is SO much better than everyone else and im just able to put constant pressure on them without even trying which is amazing, I've gotten VERY jacked especially in my back, arms and traps from playing vr so much. Ive had mates of mine try to get a similar physique and fitness to me by working out at the gym and doing very long workouts while I take it easy for the most part and its gotten to the point where people think im doing roids as it doesn't make sense to them, vr is the best tool I've ever had to practice, learn and get better for real fighting and I've gotten much more experience in sparring by doing it daily for long periods of time compared to everyone else at my gym so my skills are much higher than theirs now, I love it!

Hi! I love your comment that sounds exactly what I’m looking for. I have a question, because I never had a vr, is quest 2 valid for this mma/boxing training? And how is the game called or the games you recommend, are they free or you have to purchase most of them
@cortex7024

@@rushtrapp1645 i use creed vr for basically all my actual vr boxing and its not free, its around 30 ish dollars however for a good training game that helps you improve especially for little space its the best choice. Use your real MMA or boxing gym and do your training there and then use vr to do the same technique and try new things out that way you get realistic shadow boxing and when you slip or dodge and attack with good timing you can see different openings on your opponent so after repatition you will insticually do that in the ring with ease like I have.
Yes! Great video! This get's me excited about motivating people to improve there health and fitness in fun ways that can stick! 10/10 Keep it up man!

What a great video. The comeback was nice after the injury, i still want to get more reguarly into my trainig sessions. Usually doing 1 jogging run with about 5-7km and a VRchat HIIT training workout with my usual Discord group which is fun and challenging at the same time.

Fat doesn't mean thick. A healthy person has a certain percentage of subcutaneous fat. In modern times, the truth is you don't need it, you don't need to survive... at least not yet. Therefore, even 5% fat is a lot. It simply won’t appear if you don’t consume it; if it appears, you’re eating too many fast carbohydrates, the energy of which you’re not using. This means it will continue to 10% and above. Excess weight is called excess for a reason. You don't need it, not even a couple of kilograms. It's unhealthy. That's what it comes from. You don’t need fat on your heart and liver either) It’s better to turn it into muscle.

Amazing mad commitment and your gains are real! I need to commit more like you :D , thats the reason i got a quest 2 two years ago. I too have a snapping elbow and shoulderblade nerves tingle/hurt because decades of poor posture at pc. Im still fat 105kg 183cm, was 130kg. But feels good to have some strength back. When i started i could do 0 chin ups few pushups. Atm i can do like 15-18 chin ups, 50-60 pushups. If i could shed more fat then the sky is the limit. Wish you the best and everyone else whos reading this aswell. VR gains are great! I mostly play beat saber tho, it made my forearms slightly bigger than my biceps xD
I used to work out in VR mostly thrill of the fight, fit xr and body combat. I have 2 years of boxing exp so I was really into it dodging, rolling for 12 rounds every day. After half a year I stopped because I started feeling sharp pains and unease in my neck. Saw the reports from other people on YT that literally altered their life. Be careful!
this is how you try out a training routine , its so stupid how there are an imense amount of videos on youtube like "i did this celebrity`s workout for 7 days, i didnt this other workout for 30 days " etc , like how are you gonna see a result in such a short time especially if you have been working out consistently for some time you wont get nay changes in 7-30 days , even a few months , and if you`re a beginner doing any kind of exercises will have results. Finally someone who actually put the time into it
Great stuff! your physique has improved so much! If you are looking to put on more mass, try increasing your caloric intake. As a "hard gainer" myself, the only thing that worked to build me up was calculating my total daily energy expenditure and then adding about 500-1000 calories on top of that while continuing to train. after a month I had already seen an increase of mass!

I have somewhat started my own journey as well, albeit with a very "when-I-feel-like-it" schedule. The game I play the most is Dance Dash VR, similar to Dancerush or basically Guitar Hero with your feet. I add a weighted vest and it is definitely a extremely fun workout experience, but I do want to try out other VR games as a workout since I use full body tracking for Dance Dash, and it is just tedious to set up every time I would want to play it.
VR workout is effective. I'm playing lots of racket sports games

About half a year ago i did vr workouts for about 4 months straight. I weighed 84kg at the beginning, and about 68,69kg at the end. I was losing on average 1kg of fat per week. Personally i wouldnt recommended going as tough as i did, spending 3+ hours on high activity games per day isnt the best on your body, but i still do recommend vr for a fun way to not even realise your burning plenty of calories. Even now, ill hope on every now and then and burn about 400-450 calories per hour
