What's a strange exercise you do?

I've always struggled motivating myself to go to the gym, especially since I know I'll ensure constant pain throughout my workout due to a genetic respiratory condition I have and the constant pain it causes me, which gets much worse when working out.

I love to play games on VR, and I recently considered games that are meant to implement exercise into virtual reality. This also addresses how torturous and forced workouts are, I've never enjoyed one second of a workout in my life.

I got a game for boxing in VR and I've been boxing in the game a lot. It may sound silly, but it really isn't at all, if you stand up and start throwing punches and side stepping, you'll see that it takes a good amount of energy to do for minutes at a time.

But throwing punches into the air isn't fun, throwing them at a character in virtual reality is great fun! I've been doing it every day for 30 minutes, I throw mostly hook punches, in my last hame, I threw over 800 power punches and I enjoy the exercise quite a bit. What do you do for exercise?

You know, humans are about as efficient in carrying weight as incandescent light bulbs in producing visible light. Most energy is "wasted", into heat.

So if your goal is to burn calories, there is a variety of activities that will raise your body temperature, and they'll all burn calories about equally to the amount of heat produced.

@BoobSlayer burns calories by transforming chemical energy into movement, and movement into friction, which means, at the end, 100% of his energy is turned into heat, when he runs his hands all over all types of hot melons, boobies, tits, milkers, fried eggs, chesticles, honkers, bazoombas, coconuts, fiery biscuits, cantaloupes, and boom booms.

Nice one mate.

If you're struggling for energy you might wanna try bagua, especially where they really emphasise circle walking. Excellent for the health without expending a lot of energy. The strength of Chinese arts like that is they build energy rather than expend. I did some last night and felt a whole lot better. I'd do them more frequently although unfortunately you'd look a bit odd doing them ha.

I have sciatica, and my physical therapist and I have discovered that keeping my hamstring stretched reduces the sciatica. The best way to do that is lie on my back next to a wall, legs straight up, and press my butt against the wall, then wrapping a belt around my foot and pulling, to stretch the hamstring.

Looks ridiculous... feels great.

I sometimes go on the treadmill backwards or pull a sledge backwards to strengthen my knees.

Finger dexterity&strength excercises. Kicksled excercise with my dog.
