You can easily fit it in around your schedule and it's a genuinely fun way to get your cardio fix, unlike slogging it out on a treadmill. There's plenty of evidence to back up the benefits.

Meta Quest 2 is a virtual reality headset - our most advanced all-in-one VR system yet. From multiplayer games to unique social experiences to joining up with friends at a live show or instructor-led workout, Meta Quest 2 provides new opportunities to meet and connect with others in VR.

Oculus Quest 2 fitness games are a great way to combine exercise and gameplay. They are one of the most innovative ways we can use VR technology, and they can provide the motivation to pick up an exercise routine and stick with it when just jogging around the block didn't do the trick.

It's a great workout Anyone could build a serious workout by competing against friends or fellow gamers. It's high tempo and fun, so you don't even feel like you're exercising, yet you're closely mimicking play throughout and subconsciously developing some skills - and health benefits are up for grabs.

It's important to note that Oculus Quest 2 is also referred to as the Meta Quest 2 because Oculus is a division of Meta (formerly known as Facebook). Oculus Quest 2 is an ideal VR headset for older adults because of its simple design, setup and functionality.

VR exercise isn't different from other types of aerobic exercise, according to Stanton. You're getting your heart rate up, working up a sweat, and burning calories - but it's not as monotonous as logging miles on a treadmill. “The best exercise is the one with the highest amount of painless minutes,” Stanton says.

"If you are interested in a nice VR set that is portable, can be played anywhere and played by anyone, this is the one." With setup being so simple, and no extra cords, cameras or bulky devices required, the Meta Quest 2 makes it easy to have a good time and escape reality for a little bit.

The hardware itself remains the same; the Meta Quest 2 is a wireless VR headset that will let you dive into the wonderful world of VR without the need for a PC.

The Quest 2 has a resolution of 1832x1920 pixels per eye, which is sharp enough to almost eliminate the "screen-door" effect earlier headsets suffered from. With 50% more pixels than the original Quest, everything from multiplayer experiences and productivity apps to 360° videos look better than ever.

In my time with a Meta Quest 2 headset, apps centered around fitness, streaming video, and music stand out the most. There are 360-degree concerts that allow you to see the show from all angles, while fitness experiences like Supernatural track your hand movements and guide you through HIIT exercises.

With the immersive virtual reality (VR) fitness apps on Meta Quest, you can break a sweat whenever and wherever you want. Whether it's a boxing session in Liteboxer, firing up some jump shots in GYM CLASS – Basketball VR or swinging away in Racket: Nx, VR fitness is a great way to get your entire body moving.

Generally speaking, most VR headsets are not designed for children under the age of 13, and there's a variety of reasons: a child's eyesight is still developing, VR can make even some adults feel motion sickness, and there's not enough research yet about the long-term effects for children.
