Hey guys, would like to get your opinion on this one, I was thinking of getting a PS4 camera as well as a dancing game to more or less work out while having fun. I find having to do exercises at times a little bit boring but trying out dancing games previously gave an objective like getting a good score.

However I was thinking whether would it work if it comes down to exercising? The reason I wanna get the camera as well is for VR in the future as well. If someone has the same setup, would like to know whether if it works out for you for exercising or would conventional exercising be much better?

Does anyone have the same thoughts and whether if this would work? Space isn't really an issue as my PS4 is located in a place where there's tons of space.

Yes it could work. But I'm not sure how effective it will be. But if you really want it to work, then it should work. Good luck to you and update us afterwards.

I would agree.
Unfortunately, there isn't many game titles on ps4 for exercise. I only recall Just Dance being one, and thats about it.
I believe Nintendo Wii has more good titles if you wanna play exercise games.

I actually do that right now but it just feels boring at times, was thinking maybe since the dancing game has an objective to get a higher score so perhaps it could work out better

I see, I guess just dance is the only one sad.gif was hoping they would expand on this part
