I’m the Mom Who Lost 5 Lbs. (and a Boatload of Stress) Trying Out the Oculus Quest 2 PureWow 1/25/2021
There were exactly two times I attempted to exercise during this pandemic. The first, when we were in the bread-making phase: “I think I’ll go for a run this morning,” I announced to my husband not for the accolades, but more as a declaration that he’d be childcare for our busy toddler as I dabbled in the prospect of a new self-care routine.
It didn’t stick.
You see, we had skipped town in the early days of COVID-19 to a place with fewer cases and more outdoor space…and, unfortunately, no cell phone service. As it turned out, I felt far too vulnerable jogging alone and masked up, no other cars on the road and zero way to phone for help. Le sigh.

Despite having ticked over into January and its regular renewal of gym memberships and new club attendance, the current UK lockdown and the pandemic situation across the globe is ensuring that 2021, and a new year’s attempt to improve your fitness, is off to a slow start. Still, there are options that don’t require you to skate across sheet ice on your own or peer at a yoga instructor on Youtube, and for those lucky enough to have had an Oculus Quest 2 under the festive spruce, that new VR headset might just be the path to renewing your health, all from the comfort of your own home.
