When I start a new workout routine, I coast through the honeymoon phase. Then, boredom strikes. Resentment builds. Skipping one day turns into skipping a weekend, which turns into skipping weeks and then never touching that workout ever, ever, ever again. Turns out, when you work out with a gaming device, it’s actually fun: I’ve been using the Meta Quest to work out for months now, and I genuinely look forward to getting my sweat on.
The Meta Quest 3 is a wireless virtual reality headset that can be used in any room of your house (just make sure you have enough space to swing your arms and take a few steps). No TV is required and you can play, sorry, work out, for a few hours without needing to recharge. It offers VR (virtual reality) and MR (mixed reality) modes. VR is fully immersive, with 360-degree visuals that transport you to another place. MR lets you see your real environment, layering virtual graphics on your existing world, which is great if you have limited space.
