Is exercise with VR significantly better or more convenient than non-VR options? Were Wii Fit or Xbox One Kinect or DDR or other options any good?

- kinect: I haven’t tried the latest but it’s not really immersive. I find it dull. The feedback/accuracy is also not great

- DDR or games that require a mat: great! I used to have the britney spears one when I was younger (because I couldn’t find DDR) and what a fun workout it was!

- wii fit: really cool experience! Really intense. I think I have more fun with DDR but wii fit feels like a real session at the gym

- VR: best for immersion and feedback, you’re really somewhere else. I’ve only done beat saber, I feel like you tend to quickly understand how to do the less amount of movements to play, so it turns from a workout to a game after some hours. Curious about the other games tho
