The Meta Quest App Store offers a number of great fitness apps that you can use with a VR headset, but you might not get the most accurate numbers if you use an Apple Watch to track your activity. You can now link Quest directly to Apple Health.
Meta movement is everything
In March 2022, Meta announced that Move, its indoor fitness tracker, would receive support for external apps. The Move app was only accessible from inside the headset, so I had to use the headset to see my VR workout stats.
Wear your Apple Watch during a VR session to track your activity based on your heart rate, movement, and other accessible data. However, Meta Quest Move has its own VR data and algorithms that may give you a more accurate picture of your calorie burn.
Additionally, connect this Move app to navigate without wearing an Apple Watch during VR sessions. This can be more comfortable depending on the type of VR activity.
Do you need a special VR app?
One of the main things to know about Meta Quest Move is that it tracks your activity throughout your VR session, no matter what app you’re using or what you’re doing. This means that you do not need to purchase a VR fitness app to take advantage of this feature.
However, if you really want to get active, some of your favorite fitness video games have Quest versions that you can play right now.
