I remember playing wii tennis so much that my arms hurt for the next week.
Comment on I'm glad i grabbed this wii fit balance board from the trash a decade ago, wow!

I never tried that one, but I also had a recent late-to-the-party “gaming as exercise” discovery: Beat Saber! I never gelled with rhythm games before I got a VR headset, but I’m really digging it, and it totally gets me sweating after a while.

I’ve heard amazing things about Rumble if competitive PvP earth bending in vr appeals to you

I don’t know if it’s still good, but when I had my headset I loved Synth Riders. At times I felt like I was really dancing. Some of the “experiences” were great too, there was a Muse one that was really well done!

I’d like to recommend Synth Rider. Really similar vibes, but instead of slashing the blocks youre just catching them with your mitten. It’s not as fast and hectic, but it does make you reach for them and feel like you’re properly dancing.
I wouldn’t say its better than beat saber, or even quite as good, but it feels more fun for a while when beat saber gets too familiar. Like a palate cleanser.

If you want to work out your legs you might want to check out Pistol Whip.

For half a year, my daily workout routine was ~half an hour of Beatsaber on Expert+, and then one run through the campaign of Pistol Whip (first one). I should get back into that…

I’m really bad about even consistently playing VR games for fun, let alone for exercise. But once I finally make space, boot up the gaming pc and reconnect the VR kit, it’s almost always worth the effort and I kick myself a bit for not playing more often. I do have fairly annoying stick drift on my (Index) controllers though, so that strongly dissuades/prevents me from playing games that are designed around using them.
It’s been a couple years since I’ve really played any Beat Saber, but I think my favorite custom map just for fun was “Happy” by C2C (YouTube vid [not mine])
