I thought I'd start a more specific thread. I got my VR system earlier this year to get my out of my habit of going from sitting down working to sitting down watching TVs/movies. Since then I've lost 22 lbs. I recently found a game that is going to certainly accelerate the weight loss.
Beat Saber. This is probably the first killer app for VR. It's was created by a small team of 2 programmers (@gourimoko this could have been the two of us) with someone else doing a custom soundtrack. It's been on my wish list for a while now, I add games to that and wait for them to go on sale.
Steam VR recently added a feature (or I recently discovered it, not sure which) that shows the currently most played VR games. Beat Saber is the #1 game 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. It is compatible with Vive, Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality. Playstation VR version coming soon, and was just added to VR arcades. I saw estimates that it would instantly take 20% of the VR arcade game play traffic.
I've had mixed reaction to games I've had people try out on my system, but universally everyone I've had try this one likes it.
Here's a video of the tutorial

There are about 10 songs (I haven't counted) and the songs have 4 modes, from easy, standard, hard and expert. Here's an example of Hard

I expect my weight loss rate to pick up with this game.
