Amazing application of XR + fitness. With XR Workout, you drop the controllers, allowing the hands free for pushups, positioning, etc. So while I love Meta's Supernatural workout, this allows a far broader range of fitness. Overall, this speaks to the changing landscape of health. As we increasingly expect media-rich, high-density experiences, XR infuses instruction, structure, longevity and goal-setting to what might otherwise be a tedius, repetitious, daily workout. In other words, the same digital immersion that's sapping our health as we sit behind screens is being recruited to improve our health and add fun to drive a valuable health routine. Nice job, XR Workout!
Looking forward to trying this. Strange that Apple designed its headset without the fitness use case in mind.

3wThe Quest Pro touches down on the foreheads not the cheeks, and leaves the sides and underside open for airflow. That becomes an important detail for fitness - the cheeks don't enjoy prolonged contact, and airflow minimizes sweat. I suspect this will become standard at some point.
