@@thevrcoach thank you! im pretty new to the vr world. soon my brother will be getting a quest 2 since this is his first vr experience. im gonna try it and see how i feel about vr. if im confident im going to save up a little more to get the q3!
Mad respect for showing the journey over 400 days. It's rare to find someone on YT who is committed to showing long-term results amongst so many 1 week or month challenges. So glad YT showed me your channel Coach!
Dude this is crazy good. Im glad your working on yourself using video games. Nothing is impossible mate keep up the good work and dont let anything slow you down.
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.
I have bought my first VR headset Meta Quest 2 only 5 days ago, but I love it so much. As a matter of fact, my dad loves it too, he will be 50 next year, but the joy on his face when he plays VR is just priceless.. He loves boxing in VR, so I'm sending this video to him, so he can take some notes on other fun games! Thank your for this awesome video!
I put wrist weights on and swing in Beat Saber to get a lot of movement and resistance while playing. I’m 55 and my lower body is injured, so I can’t work out regular style. This at least allows me to work out my upper body while sitting in a chair. Also, I have made a great improvement in my eye, hand coordination and stamina ❤. I haven’t touched my Xbox in ages. My arms and shoulders have tightened up. I tore one of my rotator cuffs about a year ago. My pain has reduced by strengthening both shoulders a bit using the oculus. I have learned to stretch before playing as well.
You've earned my respect man. It's a great video that really put a lot of effort into it. Keep up the good work. Besides this, Maybe you can add some saturation to your video shots. I feel like it's missing some colors. That would get more attention in my opinion.
Thanks mate! Really appreciate the comment and the feedback. I agree, although the color tab in davinci scares me haha, but something I need to learn. BTW took a look through some of your songs, epic work!!
I literally am skinny fat/have neck and back issues and bought a VR headset to workout AND game. But I feel so self conscious about using it in public, my living space is barely enough room and my gf consistently clowns me. It’s so inspirational to see someone making actual gains and progress with these apps, using it to better oneself and sharing the journey. First vid, new sub. Great work man, and I’m so proud you kept pushing to your goal.
I feel you on the neck and back issues. Keep working on it! Don't worry about it too much, I record myself a lot in VR and normally I look way more goofy than this, especially when trying new games and apps.
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.
idk if the title was changed since you said this but theres nothing that implies that he was only going to be doing vr workouts, all it says is "400 days of vr workouts" not "400 days of only vr workouts"
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
@@rushtrapp 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.
You ain’t never lying, I’m on the same routine, Creed is so fun now…I missed the gym for two weeks and everything felt so light returning and looked like a god in the mirror b4 a pump - appreciate your comment
Les Mills VR is the killer app for me, if I can get myself into the habit of doing the longer/ harder workouts I definitely notice the difference. Great video mate.
I loved this!!! Great to highlight the benefits of VR Fitness! I can’t wait to see how the VR fitness space progresses as this could be a HUGE tool in combating obesity in the future. Great content as always man!
This is the video I was looking for as a newbie to VR who has accidentally realised it's fantastic for fitness. I'm a data nerd and spend a lot of time at my desk so it's good to see how you've managed that and inspired me to get my posture and mobility right! P.S. you look great at day 400, keep it up!
Amazing. Thank you for showing REALISTIC results instead of blowing it out of proportion. I love how realistic you are at sticking at it. You are correct. No number of equipment will matter unless you stick to it! Goodluck man!
HOLY SH__ MAN! THIS entire video was so well made, so fun to watch, so well edited and I'm guessing you put a lot of effort into this video and I really respect that ❤ I'm definitely going to subscribe and be excited for future videos cause wow- you have probably become one of the best 3 vr creators I know from one video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work and one question for u? The games u played looked super fun are u able to list some of them? Because that drumming/slamming thingy looks sick!

Great video! I just ordered my meta quest 3 and my main reason is to workout in VR! I want something fun to do at home. Also, props for using the runescape theme for your levels. - a fellow VR enthusiast that grew up playing Runescape
Awesome! All the best with your VR fitness journey. Let me know how you get on. And yes, the runescape theme has stuck with me for life, you really can't quit runescape for good 😂
Nice one! I can recommend weighted gloves. I found some adidas ones on Amazon that fit nicely with my knuckle grips. I use them for Thrill of the fight, but also for The Climb 2 and Phantom Covert Ops.
Well done. Nice transformation on your back. I also had an injury (dislocated shoulder). If I trained it properly then I wouldn't have complications. In the end I needed surgery and I had to rebuild nearly all my strength again, I could not even do 1 push up. Now I can do 35 and 12 pull ups. Also many thanks to the fysiotherapy.
Hey Coach, I’m late to the party but your journey looks great! Thank you for sharing with us and happy to see you persevered beyond your injury🔥 I lost about 35 pounds from playing Arms and Just Dance on Switch in 3.5 months a few years ago, but since then I’ve gotten about 10 pounds back. Excited to get into more diverse VR workouts very soon though.
Depends what you do tbh, effects everyone differently. I lost weight and gained stamina, the ohshape which is for full body tracking helps tremendous by itself as you literally have to shape your body and quickly to the shapes basically another rhythm game but full body it helps alot
I am currently doing VR workouts. 4 Months ago I weighed 107KG (about 17 stone), I’m now 95KG (about 15 stone). You can definitely have an effect on your body
I’ve done Supernatural boxing workout for 2 weeks and I lost at least 15 pounds and improved on stamina.. reason I lost weight quicker than usual is because I didn’t eat as much junk food.. It mostly goes by what you eat plus the amount of sweat you let out
@@thevrcoach thanks I love it, I gotta wear a headband and get a good space for it, it’s intense, I do it on custom and opponent strength at 109! So they don’t get knocked out easily so it can last the full 12 rounds
Thanks for this video ! Very inspiring. I was into Beat saber for a little under 2 years intensely and I overtrained to the point I noticed my scores slowly going down and my left shoulder hurting. Turns out I needed to rest and do something else instead of Beat Saber 2 hours / day. hahahah ! I'm going to follow you path, diversifying activities. And btw your 400 days look is solid AF.
Dude that's good; I mean, before I got the Quest 2, I already was going to the gym, and I thought that was a bit strange to use a quest to extend my "exercise" part of the day, but at home; It's not an "efficient way", but at the same time it's not that bad; it's better than not doing anything at all +Respect for you
This is a great video. I’m looking to add some VR fitness in, and I’ve had posture and neuro issues compound for over a decade of flat screen gaming too. I just picked up a quest 3s to start the journey. Do you feel like the elite strap options are better for fitness apps than the halo straps? Also, what are your favorite firness apps? I was looking at les and supernatural, and maybe boxing
Thanks so much! Wishing you all the best with your journey and road to recovery. Elite straps are more secure and better for VR fitness in my opinion, with the slight expense of comfort. I would also highly recommend picking up a silicon based facial interface as sweating into the cloth interface is nasty after a few workouts. For VR fitness apps there are so many I play on a rotation, I've never tried Supernatural as I live outside the US, but have heard really good things about it. I like to play things like Thrill of the Fight (1& 2) which is VR boxing, Guardian of Reams - Mixed reality sword fighting, Pistol Whip - Rail shooter but makes you squat a lot, Les mills, FunFitLand are good dedicated fitness apps I've tried. I have discount codes for all my favorite apps and accessories which you can check out on my website here - thevr.coach/affiliate/
I love working out on the vr icl. I’m an amateur mma fighter so I always do an hour of boxing excercise before I get a shower on a night. The only problem I’ve faced with it is that because u sweat while on the vr, the basic face guard for the quest 3 is like a fabric, this means that when u sweat all of that sweat if absorbed into the face guard and it made me come out with some slight acne where the face guard would rest, luckily i have always had clear skin so it went away after a while but occasionally it does come back. So beware that if you really want to work out on this and get a good sweat in. Try and find a silicone or sweat repellent face guard
I'm almost 30 myself and a fellow aussie. Just getting back into VR I have the crappy oculus quest 1 for now but I'm gonna upgrade to the Pico 4 and I really have to get motivated like you did. ADHD, gaming and fitness don't go well together for me but if I combined gaming and fitness well I think I might just have a winner. But same as you I have a injury and probably less than ideal mobility so seeing how you adapted different movements and such has given me hope there's a path forward.
Thats all done using wireless PCVR and a software called LIV. It sort of injects you into the game, I have a guide on how to do it here - th-cam.com/video/KQk4iP-a5sc/w-d-xo.html
Hey sr. I just bought a VR and thought it would be good to try to do some workouts with it, your video was much valuable for me, thank you for sharing your honest opinion and results! I'm very similar to you but I work remote, I'm going to try to have better habits from now on. I really like calisthenics, i hope it's possible to use VR in it too
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!
F2P fitness games aren't very common. Most require a subscription or one of payment. 2 free games worth checking out are punchfit and blaston. Punchfit is a boxing pad/drill simulator. And blaston is a 1v1 dueling shooter that will have you squatting and side stepping out of the way
I was about to recommend you dable into functional range conditioning for anything mobility based. Improving the conditioning of your mobility is a sure way to improve everything else you do in life, nothing harder than doing a loaded mobility movement and having to control the movement the entire time and perfectly end up in the beginning again.
Watched this thinking it was a video with high view count and subs, great quality man! Subbed and liked due to the genuine content and not mass made click bait rubbish!
Wow the quality of your content does not make sense given your view count. Thanks so much for this! I tried to do some VR workouts but just never committed enough. Going to give it a stronger go because of this! Subscribed and liked!
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!
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. I noticed that if the workout is in whatever sense fun to do (working out together in vr) keeps me more motivated and makes me more likely to do it!
Really hope this can help someone out. I lost 50 lbs, and now I'm strength training. It took about 1.5 years for me. A lot of my journey started with gamify-ing exercise and a slow change of diet. My strategy was slow diet change for weight-loss and exercise to keep it off. Beatsaber was my squats and cardio. VRChat activated other muscle groups and I've found myself dancing, doing yoga, and group workouts with people who are motivated. When life got stressful I took advantage of my VR cardio that activated my muscles and began doing pushups, situps, planks, and legups to vent stress. Told myself that if I kept it up I could let myself get some dumbells. Now I do all of that and lift the dumbells. VR gave me a chance to make exercise feel good. I hope it could be made into a proper curriculum to help others too. This has allowed me to try new things I would have struggled with or outright failed at irl. Hiking with great elevation change, skiing, biking, and so much more. I feel reborn at 30.
Absolutely love your story and congrats on all the success you've had! VR is such a powerful tool for forming habits and and reducing the friction of exercise.
I'm skinny fat too and just about to get into this myself. Long story short, I have horrendous posture and degenerative disc disease which has had a crazy flare up these past 6 months. How does yours get you if you don't mind me asy?
It's a program called LIV. It requires PCVR, and a greenscreen or a Nvidia graphics card. I made a guide on it here :) - th-cam.com/video/KQk4iP-a5sc/w-d-xo.html
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.
yoga is one of the most underrated exercises you can do, it is compound isometrics if you do a cardio work out and break it up with yoga in between you will see huge results.

I am currently doing VR workouts. 4 Months ago I weighed 107KG (about 17 stone), I’m now 95KG (about 15 stone). You can definitely have an effect on your body
Wym no effect, he literally changed 💀
Wash your fucking eyes kid
I’ve done Supernatural boxing workout for 2 weeks and I lost at least 15 pounds and improved on stamina.. reason I lost weight quicker than usual is because I didn’t eat as much junk food.. It mostly goes by what you eat plus the amount of sweat you let out
2:15 ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE
I do Thrill of the Fight all the time! for 4 years now, worked my way up to 12 round fights, saved my life! lol
12 rounds of totf is no joke! Congrats on your success
@@thevrcoach thanks I love it, I gotta wear a headband and get a good space for it, it’s intense, I do it on custom and opponent strength at 109! So they don’t get knocked out easily so it can last the full 12 rounds
Thank you very much for sharing! You've got a new subscriber;)
Great content dude! Keep it up! SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks! Will do!
Solid change! Diet and/or sleep are likely week points that will drastically change you
What are you using to capture videos of yourself in the VR game!?
That's a tool called liv and pcvr - I have a guide on it here th-cam.com/video/KQk4iP-a5sc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PXNZ3TpqfFgDDlXw
@@thevrcoach Thanks Coach!
Thanks for this video ! Very inspiring. I was into Beat saber for a little under 2 years intensely and I overtrained to the point I noticed my scores slowly going down and my left shoulder hurting. Turns out I needed to rest and do something else instead of Beat Saber 2 hours / day. hahahah ! I'm going to follow you path, diversifying activities. And btw your 400 days look is solid AF.
The absolute shock in realizing your power at 1:38 was soo fucking funny
Dude that's good;
I mean, before I got the Quest 2, I already was going to the gym, and I thought that was a bit strange to use a quest to extend my "exercise" part of the day, but at home;
It's not an "efficient way", but at the same time it's not that bad; it's better than not doing anything at all
+Respect for you
Can you list the games you used ? In particular im interested in that yoga game
This is a great video. I’m looking to add some VR fitness in, and I’ve had posture and neuro issues compound for over a decade of flat screen gaming too. I just picked up a quest 3s to start the journey. Do you feel like the elite strap options are better for fitness apps than the halo straps? Also, what are your favorite firness apps? I was looking at les and supernatural, and maybe boxing
Thanks so much! Wishing you all the best with your journey and road to recovery. Elite straps are more secure and better for VR fitness in my opinion, with the slight expense of comfort. I would also highly recommend picking up a silicon based facial interface as sweating into the cloth interface is nasty after a few workouts. For VR fitness apps there are so many I play on a rotation, I've never tried Supernatural as I live outside the US, but have heard really good things about it. I like to play things like Thrill of the Fight (1& 2) which is VR boxing, Guardian of Reams - Mixed reality sword fighting, Pistol Whip - Rail shooter but makes you squat a lot, Les mills, FunFitLand are good dedicated fitness apps I've tried. I have discount codes for all my favorite apps and accessories which you can check out on my website here - thevr.coach/affiliate/
this is so cool, thanks. The results are amazing, very inspiring.
i love the runescape music haha
ngl when i first watched you i thought you had way more subs you are underrated man
Cheers mate! You've gone and made my day
@@thevrcoach np i hop you get more subs soon you should a vid on blade and sorcery
Absolutely, B&S slaps! Are there any mods in particular you would recommend?
maybe a flying and more spells mod i dont know the mod and i just bought the game so it would be nice to see you try those mods out
@@thevrcoach .
I love working out on the vr icl. I’m an amateur mma fighter so I always do an hour of boxing excercise before I get a shower on a night. The only problem I’ve faced with it is that because u sweat while on the vr, the basic face guard for the quest 3 is like a fabric, this means that when u sweat all of that sweat if absorbed into the face guard and it made me come out with some slight acne where the face guard would rest, luckily i have always had clear skin so it went away after a while but occasionally it does come back. So beware that if you really want to work out on this and get a good sweat in. Try and find a silicone or sweat repellent face guard
Silicone face mask for the Quest 3 is a must, as is the elite strap. I also wear a bandana on my head, and half-gloves for long sessions of vr boxing!
@ especially if your goal is to lose weight, your gonna be on there for a while so silicone face mask is a necessity I totally agree
I'm almost 30 myself and a fellow aussie. Just getting back into VR I have the crappy oculus quest 1 for now but I'm gonna upgrade to the Pico 4 and I really have to get motivated like you did. ADHD, gaming and fitness don't go well together for me but if I combined gaming and fitness well I think I might just have a winner. But same as you I have a injury and probably less than ideal mobility so seeing how you adapted different movements and such has given me hope there's a path forward.
So relatable! Wishing you all the best on your gamified fitness adventure. The mobility work is an absolute grind but you got this
holy shit you deserve 1+ mill subs the video quality is insane
cheers mate!
Can someone make a list on the games he played in this video
I thought this was going to be just VR but then you worked out irl too lol
heya, could I ask how you recorded yourself wirelessly playing games on the Quest 3?
Thats all done using wireless PCVR and a software called LIV. It sort of injects you into the game, I have a guide on how to do it here - th-cam.com/video/KQk4iP-a5sc/w-d-xo.html
he either used airlink or steam link
thanks!
AHOUUUUU congrats! The results are incredible 💪
Thanks so much! Ragnarock was one of my go to workouts
Man im hyped i got my quest 3 today. Cant wait to get home 😁
YES!!! Hope you enjoy it!
Hey sr. I just bought a VR and thought it would be good to try to do some workouts with it, your video was much valuable for me, thank you for sharing your honest opinion and results! I'm very similar to you but I work remote, I'm going to try to have better habits from now on. I really like calisthenics, i hope it's possible to use VR in it too
Thanks for the comment, glad the video was helpful. Wishing you all the best on your fitness journey!
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!
Why are they so expensive is there any free workout vr games ! I wanna try them before I buy them ! What do you suggest
Definitely Squat Algorithm. First half of the game is free
F2P fitness games aren't very common. Most require a subscription or one of payment. 2 free games worth checking out are punchfit and blaston. Punchfit is a boxing pad/drill simulator. And blaston is a 1v1 dueling shooter that will have you squatting and side stepping out of the way
what was the Chinese boxing games was trying to make something along those lines and that a good case study
Great video, What was the tennis game?
Thanks! It's called racket club
awsome video keep that great work going.
Thanks for the kind comment!
FIRST DAY i love !!!! more!
I was about to recommend you dable into functional range conditioning for anything mobility based.
Improving the conditioning of your mobility is a sure way to improve everything else you do in life, nothing harder than doing a loaded mobility movement and having to control the movement the entire time and perfectly end up in the beginning again.
Thanks for the comment and recommendation, Mobility work has been a big part of my routine this year. Next progress video will highlight that.
Watched this thinking it was a video with high view count and subs, great quality man! Subbed and liked due to the genuine content and not mass made click bait rubbish!
mate, thank you so much!
Awesome job Coach!~
Cheers!
Wow the quality of your content does not make sense given your view count. Thanks so much for this! I tried to do some VR workouts but just never committed enough. Going to give it a stronger go because of this! Subscribed and liked!
Thanks so much and all the best for your VR workouts!
AWESOME video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Cheers Kaleah!
VR workout is effective. I'm playing lots of racket sports games
another underrated youtuber
What is that knight game called?
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!
Thanks for the tip and congrats on your results too! Nutrition and putting on a bit more weight is in the plans for this year
Absolutely love this!!! I just broke both legs (freak accident...don't ask LOL) and this was so motivating!!
Ouch! Hope you are recovering well and wishing you all the best!
Nice Video. I am a VR sports connoisseur and always wanted to make such comparison / experience video. :) thumbs up.
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.
I noticed that if the workout is in whatever sense fun to do (working out together in vr) keeps me more motivated and makes me more likely to do it!
So cool you found a community to work out with! Bonus points that it's in VR, keep it up!
Vrchat has workouts??
@@Norie92 There are groups for things like that and the discord group im in also hosts that kind of stuff
The RuneScape medley took me back
Duder, great video
This is a great video, instant like for Runescape, keep the quality content coming, Subbed!
Getting called “skinny fat” while having a six pack is criminal
wow bro enserio se nota la diferencia, sigue asi
English subtitles gone wild at 7:26 :D Jokes aside, great video!
Really hope this can help someone out. I lost 50 lbs, and now I'm strength training. It took about 1.5 years for me. A lot of my journey started with gamify-ing exercise and a slow change of diet. My strategy was slow diet change for weight-loss and exercise to keep it off. Beatsaber was my squats and cardio. VRChat activated other muscle groups and I've found myself dancing, doing yoga, and group workouts with people who are motivated. When life got stressful I took advantage of my VR cardio that activated my muscles and began doing pushups, situps, planks, and legups to vent stress. Told myself that if I kept it up I could let myself get some dumbells. Now I do all of that and lift the dumbells. VR gave me a chance to make exercise feel good. I hope it could be made into a proper curriculum to help others too. This has allowed me to try new things I would have struggled with or outright failed at irl. Hiking with great elevation change, skiing, biking, and so much more. I feel reborn at 30.
Absolutely love your story and congrats on all the success you've had! VR is such a powerful tool for forming habits and and reducing the friction of exercise.
what was that vr tennis game at 8:02
That's called racket club!
liking and subbing just for the runescape part
You can never quit osrs
Have you tried Synth Riders? Amazing rhythm game!
Yep it slaps! But I slightly prefer audio trip more
For upper body strength have you considered getting a VR bow? They exist.
Thanks for this bro im showing parents why i should go on vr longer and how it benifits your health ... 😁
Awesome video!
Thanks so much! Means a lot!
Its incredible the change bro.... From a pico 4 to a quest 3, all im telling its san andreas vr pal, congrat, also i didnt see the video
Great video!!!
Man u got ripped good job. Love the vid btw
Looking a lot stronger, well done, keep it up!
Thanks mate!
Been wanting to get back in shape. Looks younger too.
I'm skinny fat too and just about to get into this myself.
Long story short, I have horrendous posture and degenerative disc disease which has had a crazy flare up these past 6 months.
How does yours get you if you don't mind me asy?
very want to know how to film the part like you are in the game playing
It's a program called LIV. It requires PCVR, and a greenscreen or a Nvidia graphics card. I made a guide on it here :) - th-cam.com/video/KQk4iP-a5sc/w-d-xo.html
@@thevrcoach oh thank u so much!
You were never skinny fat. You were just skinny. Never the less props for progress!
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.
@@hibahprice6887 tf are you yapping about
yoga is one of the most underrated exercises you can do, it is compound isometrics if you do a cardio work out and break it up with yoga in between you will see huge results.
Been getting into Yoga way more this year! I agree, absolutely loving it!
Imagine if he would've put these 400 days into actual workouts lmao
