![400 Days of VR Workouts [Realistic Results]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/v2d7CLq85ps/mqdefault.jpg)
People confuse laziness with not having the disposition to "do exercise" frequently. Many overweight people don't exercise b/c they just don't enjoy it. They can force themselves for a while, but if you honestly hate it you'll eventually stop.
If you are relying on exercise as part of your long plan weight loss/maintenance it will only work if you find something you can actually enjoy doing...and look forward to doing each day.
VR is a fun thing for some people that have never found their physical activity in life. If you hate exercise and like playing video games VR might be a possible solution for you. Obviously, playing beat sabre isn't the same level of physical activity as running up hills five hours a day, but if you are playing beat sabre instead of just sitting and watching youtube it will have the desired effect you need.
Most skeptical work out enthusiasts are surprised by how fun and active VR can be when they actually give it try.
This was very inspiring I almost cried when you felt like you were dying. No one should fell like that. You are strong to put out your story your strong.
I'm struggling too. 2 heart attacks. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. So, I bought an exercise bike. Been doing it three months. I'm doing beat saber too. I'm burning up to 850 calories a day. I can stand without pain. I don't huff and puff anymore. My fitness watch PAI says I'm 38 again!
I haven't lost much, yet. I think I'm gaining muscle mass.
I'm 50, and I have never felt better.
Good for you man
2 heart attacks don't.know how to say this but your heart is most likely damaged and you are still going to die younger then you would if you had lost the pounds sooner. Not trying to be rude just a warning to people that think they can ignore being over 400 pounds till like 40 and then Get into shape and all the health risks will go away.
@@ryanclemons1 Where did you get your medical degree?
@@seethransom I mean just look it up I can give links unlike some people if you don't believe me.
@@ryanclemons1 My cardiologist and I got this.
The power of VR, I wonder how long it’s gonna take until this is gonna become the worlds nr1 of fitness... it has to become, it’s just that good... if you don’t understand u don’t have one
Congrats I'm in similar position just got the quest and smashing out beat saber every day.
I got mine like 4 days ago, hows your progress?
Beat Saber isn’t as affective as a game like BoxVR. It is still fun though
Try box vr
how’s ur progress
I agree that BoxVR is way more beneficial because there are few rest points. For me, BoxVR is exercise and Beat Saber is killing time while being active.
I’m currently playing creed rise to glory and there is a whole gym in the game it’s a good way to exercise and it really tired me out
Bro get the thrill of the fight its way more interactive because it relies heavily on how hard you throw a punch block and dodge and you dont have a cooldown to attack
mosaac can’t get it on PS4
Brandon Trembath yes you can
@@bttremby6642 you can lol
Epicgamergrandson 2007 no you can’t
I am right now in the same boat. Hit my all time high of 317 pounds and felt like I was going to die. VR was one of my motivators for losing weight and I cut out eating anything with refined sugars and starting being more active. Finally this last week I lost a pound and a half, not really a big amount, but it was the first week in the last two years were I didn't put weight on. You story really struck a chord with me and I will be following your channel.
Have you lost anymore?
@@SlumberousSnorlax had a setback when I injured my back again, with three ruptured discs that is fairly easy. I have only managed to get myself down to 299.
@@ThemildmanneredgamerBlogspot some great exercises I have been doing since my microdiscectomy are cycling on a stationary bike (the ones where you can recline will be best) as well as just walking a lot
@@ThemildmanneredgamerBlogspot update?
Which VR game?
Super inspiring! VR has helped me lose weight too. Lately I have been doing Ring Fit on the Switch and like that as well. Great work, keep it up!
Literally my exact same story my friend, even down to owning the same bands shirts and hair style, very uncanny. I’ve lost weight and put it back on, recently I’ve decided to go down the VR route due to always being obsessed with games. This inspired me even more, bravo! And good luck for the future, you’ve come so far, you can do it!
Wow. How awesome are you. It takes guts to put yourself out there, honestly and vulnerable. Quodos to you.
Hey man, this an easy subscribe for me. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I've been in VR since the Oculus CV1 and it has changed gaming for me. Today I downloaded YUR for the first time. Looking forward to incorporating tracking health stats while playing.
Thank you for sharing this! We can do it boys!
Ahoy! I also have the same experience with life. Thank you for your story.
This is so amazing, I’m so happy for you bro...you should start a channel and make VR vids
that got emotional really fast, i'm happy you found something that was worth changing for
Thank you for your story brother. I am using my son's Oculus Quest BoxVR boxing game for an exercise change. While watching those videos I came across your story.
Amazing and motivating video here bro. Just got quest3 and ready to blast
Excellent video and a great story, but mostly I'm just an internet stranger who's proud of what you've accomplished and you've definitely motivated me. I just got an Oculus Quest 2 with Beat Saber and Thrill of the Fight. I hope to join your rank soon!
This video is hella inspiring. thank you for being brave enough to post this.
i relate to so much here. The addiction to World Of Warcraft, the being 300+ pounds, the physical issues.
Just got an Oculus Quest 2 and have a small amount of hope that it might help a little.
video's hit differently when its about you, it sure did me haha
Get these three games and you will absolutely lose weight. 1: thrill of the fight. Boxing. 2: supernatural. 3: any relaxing fun rest game. I’ve lost 38lbs in 6 weeks. Playing an hour a day. Workout games and 1hr relaxing fun game.
@@connercalhoun3440 I've been using Supernatural 5 days a week...as well as either Beat Saber or Audio Trip each of those days :) I also use Guided Mindfulness VR and Maloka each day!
@@connercalhoun3440 thrill of the fight im winded quick! I have been using thrill of the fight, beatsaber, until you fall... have not tried supernatural yet
get gorilla tag its really fun, free, multiplayer, and burns alot of calories from the amount of swinging you will be doing as you climb trees,.
This is very cool, I have also struggled with weight my whole life. Im 26 now and at my heaviest iv ever been. I get chest pains on a daily and breathing issues random pains pretty much anywhere. Its so hard to get out and exercise but harder to diet. This is super inspiring and I hope I can soon do something about this myself, Im depressed and cant even look at myself in the mirror without being disgusted. If anyone has any tips or anything please I welcome all advice. Thankyou for your story and good job man, this is truly inspirational.
I’m subscribing because I appreciate you and your message.
Very inspiring!
Good for you dude hell yeah!!!
Good job brother! Sometimes you have to say enough is enough and just do it. And you followed through for yourself... Congratulations!
probably way to late but you motivated me and im starting to lose weight im subscribing thanks man

ñâmāsTê little brother 👍👍👍👍✌️
thank you for telling your story. Very honest and truthful. This will help so many with the same struggle. Thank you
congratulation you reached what I try at the moment. I began before 3 weeks with 137 kg and loose now 6 kg. I hope I have the power to reach the goal of under 100 kg too :)
Amazing transformation mate! I find SynthRiders with custom song's is great for burning some calories.
I'm sure your video will inspire many, well done.
Thank you!
I put on so much weight (obese) as was told I had PCOS and couldn't have kids. Last month I had a miscarriage and I didn't even know I was pregnant!
15 years of nothing then this!!! Instead of getting in depression I'm loosing weight and playing beat sabre every day. In one month I've lost over a stone
I have PCOS. People always think I’m lying when I tell them I had 3 miscarriages and didn’t know I was pregnant at all. I had no symptoms.
So inspiring!!!!! I’m excited to start my journey!!!!
\\\New Subscriber/// Big Congratulations on your weight loss journey so far Mark. I feel I need to start one as well, and maybe VR and a controlled diet may help me too, as someone who does no exercise at all. Thanks...
i'm trying to do that now with VR. Great job!
Nice job bro. Respect to you for this. I totally relate to this. Thanks for the honesty. I prefer these type of natural honest videos rather than the social media pitch type ones. I've been a gamer my whole life except now in my adult life because of the worry of sitting and putting on more weight, so I am working all the time and not playing. Gym always ended up either disappointing or just annoying from all the 'look at me' guys who want to F themselves and hog all the gym equipment for themselves. So have been tempted to get PSVR2 to do fitness and have fun training and losing weight again as i was always a teams sport kind of person and liked sports over gym. I'm not as heavy but for my height of 5'9 200 pounds is alot. So thanks, I will be making the jump to VR for fitness.
I was in really good shape when i was younger, but slowly gained weight. When I got out of HS and started working security jobs where for 12 to 16 hours all i would do is watch youtube and security cameras, I blew up in about 2 years time. I left HS at 210 lbs 5'9 at 19. I am 21 now and have hovered around 350 lbs for the last year or so. it really does sneak up on you. I went from being able to crank out 20 pullups no problem to if i attempt one im probably gonna injure my wrist. it hurts to walk or stand for long periods of time at my ankles and lower back. I feel how weak i am now. I'm hoping VR mixed with a weight loss program from my doctors office will help. Thanks for sharing your story, sorry if posting mine is bad its the only way i know how to relate to people
Hey mate! Great and inspiring video! Hope you are well!
Awesome job! You look great. Super inspiring story.
Same... Im russian, and moved to Canada when i was 18.... and everything went downhill from there... the food in americas really sucks 😞 But I just got oculus quest so hopefully will have some progress too! 😁
I’ve been working on my weight too, and yeah, as good as food like McDonald’s tastes, it’s terrible for you and here in the states it’s almost everywhere. Good luck on your goal my friend. :)
Very inspiring. Awesome video
Regardless of weight loss, you are awesome!
Thank you, this is really good.
Awesome!
Thank you for this!
U should have shown your beat saber highlights. It would have been cool to see your improvements over time.
Good on you bro
Thx for sharing your experience
Amazing!
Thank you for this.
Im not fat myself but i have noticed that my whole body is soar.
Your video is prooff that doing hours of beat saber can tone my arms, shoulders and maybe even help me get those visible abs
I am totally with you, feel identical and using skyrim to lose weight
Great story. I bought an Oculus quest 2 and have been getting a great workout with thrill of the fight and power beats VR. I think they are both great but power beats really hits your legs. I did martial arts growing up but my body can't take that abuse anymore and I've really packed on alot of weight so I was looking for something challenging and it had to keep me interested. These games check both boxes so I have a great outlook on losing alot of weight while having a good time.
Which video where you working out to? What are some good videos you suggest? I Am brand new to Oculus.
Well done!
Make more videos ❤ Thank you for sharing your journey, hoping for an update
Are you Samoa Joe's son (first 20 seconds) ? Seriously i'm overweight and i started playing Beat Saber last night and i was hooked. I played 3 hours straight and i was dead at the end. I can really see how playing this can make you lose weight, i just hope it will work for me.
Good on you very good work
My biggest issue is over eating.
I'll feel physically full...sometimes to the point where I feel unwell.
Yet I still over eat. Especially late at night when I'm super tired.
It's frustrating and I hate myself for it.
I've just started using an Oculus Quest 2 daily with some fitness apps. I'm at 288 pounds :( ...don't have a lot of faith at this point.
==UPDATE (8 months after posting this)==
I still use my Quest to play Beatsaber 5+ times a week (haven't missed a week since mid-January!).
I'm down to about 260...which isn't great, but it's a weight I haven't seen in at least 15 years. I've hit a wall over the last 2 months where I haven't lost much at all...but I'm hoping I'll eventually get over it.
Meanwhile I don't over eat as often as I did. It's still a struggle though and I still gorge about once every 2 weeks.
And my diabetes is pretty much totally in control now. I was giving myself multiple shots of insulin every single day. Now...over the last months...I haven't given myself a single shot!
Beatsaber isn't as much of a workout for me as it was a few months ago...but it still gets me sweating and is a ton of fun and I actively look forward to playing each day. Sometimes I have to force myself to take a day or 2 off so I don't burn out on it.
Just make sure you get your daily VR workout and you'll be fine
Have you tried pistol whip? It does much more to me than Beat saber 'cause you have to move your whole body! It's amazing and very good!
@@DeusaRem haha yes! Pistol whip is amazing and really kicks my butt physically! >.
@@twitchster77 I get a pretty good shape with it!
I'm currently about 330lbs. I'm 6'6 and 30 years old. I haven't been below 250lbs since I was a kid.
I feel it, I feel like I'm dying. Standing, and just walking hurts. I'm in constant pain in some way or another, as a result of my weight. I want to be able to walk around the shop for more than 15 minutes before I need to sit.
I used to be 415lbs, and lost a bunch but it's been a struggle and over the last 10 years I've seriously neglected my health.
Played 30 minutes of beat saber today. I want to play more but that's all I had the energy for. But I'll keep up on it. I don't want to have a heart attack and die before I'm 40.
Congratulations you look so good between before and after
Konečně dobrý Český workout 💪
Amazing
Tjank you for sharing
What VR did you use?
I've been playing heaps of onward, My legs have been hurting for days from all the ducking you have to do since you can't duck with a button, I still play even with my legs hurting because I'm so immersed in the game I don't feel anything.
I've been playing pistol whip and I'm sore as hell from playing it all day yesterday.
VR is totally the new way for obese people like myself to get fit. I bought a Quest 2 a few days ago and I've never felt so immersed looking forward to getting active on it!
Congrats on your progress!
I'm in the same boat and I just started VR today.
Anybody want to pair up?
Tony Tarantula add me jujifina
@@lqdpromotions will do! I'm pixelpainterpro on VR
i relate alot to you like no joke, but im still obese. i want to change my life since i have chronic depression, but its just hard to get up in the morning. i lost jobs cuz i cant get my shit together. Im graduating college really soon.... even with a degree.... would people even hire me? would i get fired again? i fucking hate myself, you see. im working on writing my book and self publish it, but im struggling on editing and make it more interesting and coherent to read.... fuck man. Your video helped but in the end, it all comes down to me.
you can do it my friend!
What’s your progress been so far?
@@ugotnosauce9070 I got hired by a security company just yesterday which is a start. As far as the book goes, still editing it... thanks for asking
Rust Cohle why dont you use vr to lose weight ?
@@rustcohle3803 how are things now been nearly a month. If the book is available I'd like to check it out
Also check out x Fitness with custom mp3 dnb tracks and 2x speed, easy 100 calories per song
Cool how you only have 230 subs u should have 7000
Exactly same situation I am in , hope I can afford vr headsets and subscription
any suggestions for shooting games that are like workout?
Superhot
Congratulations on your weight loss! I was planning to get my 8 year old daughter a Wii to help her lose weight. I seen this and thought maybe I should consider this instead. I don't know a lot about it though.
As a parent who has been an adopter for VR I want to encourage you to go the route of a Switch and some of the more active games like Just Dance, Ring Fit Adventure and Fitness Boxing for the time being.
As it stands, we don't know what, if any, side effects there might be on children. And for the moment that the general recommendation is 13yo or older. I'm hopeful that in the next couple of years there'll be some studies available to give us parent more confidence in sharing VR with our kids.
@@Xenji5 avid VR fan, I believe the reason why they say 13+ is because under that your eyes are still heavily developing themselves and just being glued to a screen that close would be a bad thing for the development of the childs eyes. (This is what I have heard but it might be wrong it might not be idk)
@@GoldenSerpentTree I’m pretty sure the real reason is that it can halt a child’s development of being able to control their body’s properly, when a study was done in a game were you had too fly through rings but using your chest to steer a lot of the kids would use their heads to make up the difference of not being able to use something they can’t see to move
Saved for the future for my 9 y.o. kiddo. He likes games and eats pasta every day
I'm finding myself playing VR more than base games.
Damn broski you about to come up missing lml
Even your voice Sound's different through the change.
Great job!
in how long?
7 months he said
Bro talks at .75 time speed. Worth it though, very inspiring.
kinda wish he shared wich games he played
What surgery did you have and what diet were you on? Thanks and well done, good job...
Lmao did you not watch the video, he didn’t have a surgery, he played VR games...
@@sevenOG you did not watch the video he said that he had an surgery but ok 9:16
How you lose weight from and which games you was doing help you for lose weight everyday
4 years. Hope this dude is OK, seems like he just needs some friends too.
you did'nt have loose skin?
I'm still that kid lol 🤣
wow you look super handsome
My current highest is like 320lbs+ idk, I been feeling fat as fuck lately so I picked up psvr and yesterday I finally caved and bought beat saber and I love it. I played it for 5 hours straight last night and today I'm sore as all hell. I literally was pouring sweat out of the headset (gross af) Can't wait to see how I can use it to make a difference in my weight.
How is it treating you? I just picked it up. Mostly just perusing while my psmove controllers charged, but I'm interested to know if it's something you have stuck with and enjoyed.
@@KeikakuLounge In a month i went down 17 pounds to 303, but been slackin off and I'm 305 now. I also got ring fit adventure for nintendo switch and I'm doing dumbbell exercises. I'm starting to pick up the pace. Plus I'm not eating before bed and only 2 meals a day, one of them being a weight loss shake. Also getting more sleep and much more water with my daily vitamins.
@@jayykellyxiii4910 how you doing?
king shit
A good recommendation is not only playing Beat Saber, but to staying on a ketogenic or carnivore diet.
Joann Gargus yeah sure if you want to get sick. Whole-food & mainly plant based is the best thing you can do.
Alex Is Sick? Uh no...Ketogenic and Carnivore diets don’t make you sick, there’s tons of scientific evidence that backs up their effectiveness aswell, don’t spread misinformation please. Whole Foods, Keto, Carnivore, Buddhist-vegetarian etc... whatever works for you as a healthy lifestyle stick to it, they all have long term benefits. What makes you sick is the Standard American high carb-low fat “diet” that has been long recommended and now recently rejected by the scientific community. Healthline is an excellent resource full of updated information and recent studies that are congruent with the scientific findings, you should take a look.
@@AlexisArrow Meat is the most important thing to eat for nutrition. Humans are naturally omnivorous so we need plants too, but science shows that meat is much more important than we used to believe. The majority of our meals should be meat with the sides being plants
Cite your sources please.
You still around?
I’m 17 and a 106 kg
I recently got a quest 2 and beatsaber but i don’t have a diet how can i get my hand on a good diet that works for me in the long term
I have being trying to loose weight my entire life but quit after a couple months and got even bigger.
Please help
I personally would recommend a ketogenic diet, it's not for every one, It can be pricey, and a difficult one to follow.
Talk to a dietary nutritionist.
Do your own homework, really dig in, find out how it changes your bio chemistry, find out the actual scientific studies conducted, and it may make it a lot easier to follow.
´
Quit eating a shit ton of carbs and balance your meat, fat, and veggies. You don't have to follow a specific diet, just quit stuffing your face. Not my intent to been, but that's really the simplest answer anyone can give.
Not my intent to be mean*
I've started a small community of Oculus Quest users who want to loose weight and have fun. It involves a daily accountability "check in" along with sharing goals, results, and milestones. Also, maybe connect for playing some games multiplayer (Creed, etc).
Join our Discord here: discord.gg/4mBkgYg
There is so much power in group accountability when it comes to loosing weight and staying consistent.
This site has great info on which VR games give the best burn:
vrhealth.institute/vr-ratings/
I like this guy. But he kinda sounds like there's a gn to his head.
and then i thought working out with VR make you loss weight lol. you got surgery so you can play VR, what a click bait!
