Trying this for 30 days 30min/ day (Need tips)

[CaleoGaming]

So I just got this game and decided to give it a go with the 30 minute session. My plan is to do this 30 minutes a day for the next month to see my results. Possibly racking it up to 45/60min classes. My height is 190cm and weight is 96.6kg and I am somewhat average in body size. This proved to be a very intense workout and I loved every minute of it.

Do you guys have any recommendations for session lengths or the way to go about it? What about food/supplements ? I drink a Whey protein shake after the workout like i would normally at the gym, are there any pros or cons to this? Any help is appreciated, just looking to shape up and get toned :)

Hi there, thanks for the question.

Great to see that you are enjoying BoxVR. Please let us know how you get on and keep up the good work.

BoxVR involves strenuous physical activity so we recommend that you consult your doctor before beginning any exercise routine or fitness regimen. Some key considerations before working out in VR are to make sure your balance and physical abilities are sufficient for the movements that will be performed while exercising with BoxVR. These include jabs, hook, uppercuts, squats, and dodges.

If you experience excessive fatigue, nausea, chest tightness or dizziness, STOP IMMEDIATELY and consult a doctor. Additionally, BoxVR should not be used to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease or medical condition.

Doing 30 minutes a day sounds like a good starting point as long as you are not experiencing excessive fatigue, nausea, chest tightness, or dizziness. As you get fitter, you can increase the length of the workouts you do or add weights, such as a weighted vest of very light write weights.

Finally, pace yourself, hydrate, and do some slight stretches to cool down following any BoxVR workout.

I am doing the same, 30 minutes + a day. Love it. I have found that doing a straight 30min can be very tiring, depending on the workout chosen. So I break mine up in the a couple of 15min sessions with a water break in between. Or maybe a 17, 15, 10 if I feel like it. This gives you a rest instead of a constant burn, especially if you are just starting out.

I did 30-45 min sessions 6 days a week. 7th day was my cheat day. That plus 1500-1600 Cal a day diet, and I dropped from 245lbs to 215 in 30 days. YMMV.

Hydrate. Dear God stay hydrated. If you're using a vive I recommend the thinner face pads. They don't absorb as much sweat and can be easily washed.

Like Ben said, stretching is crucial. Look up shoulder stretches to do before and after a session.

Another tip a friend gave me (was a former boxer): don't over commit to the punches. Big difference between shadow boxing and actually hitting a bag is the resistance. In VR, there is none. You can very easily hurt yourself by over extension.
