You won’t see many brands talking about their products right now. 

Most of them are talking about how we can help each other and they are doing their share of helping as well. Those moments of kindness, even when we’re not sure whether they’re completely genuine or not – makes ourselves feel proud of us, humans.

We at Holodia try to do the same, and since fitness has a lot to do with – health, we made it our goal to provide you with tips on how to boost your health now when we need it most.

However, we will have to break the rule of not talking about our product. Why?

Well, if your product equals – helping people, why not? We almost feel that talking about it is our duty, along with doing our share of helping in other ways.

See, HOLOFIT is a perfect way to make the best out of the situation we have right now.

We do understand the weight of that statement, and we by no means take it lightly.

So, let us try to explain what we mean by that.

There are a number of things we cannot do now that we are in self-isolation. On the other hand, there are a number of things we still have to do, habits that we need to maintain, and some things we simply love doing.

You Cannot Travel Now

Even meaningless strolls around the block now seem like a great adventure, right? 

And yes, you can walk around your home, but that’s already getting boring… And since this might last a while, it looks like we’ll need a better solution.

So, how about visiting Paris? That’s a treat even in the normal circumstances, even more so in times when your living room seems like the only possible destination.

Or… maybe a journey into space? Conquering Antarctica? Taking that cancelled trip to some tropical island?

Yep, that’s all possible with HOLOFIT. I mean, just take a look here

It Is Way Harder to Exercise

Let’s face it – staying motivated is always a real challenge. But now, it really does seem impossible. 

Well, the good news is that HOLOFIT was doing exactly that for quite some time now – motivating people to stay fit. We do that by combining great visual and audio incentives with gamification and effort rewarding.

There are scientific studies made about the influence of Virtual Reality on exercise:

The data collected led to the conclusion that working out while wearing a virtual reality headset will lead to a higher heart rate, and in turn lead to burning more calories during a workout.

The study also found participants who wore the virtual reality headset were able to remove themselves from their bodily sensations allowing them to workout longer.

Staying Healthy Is a Challenge

Big one. It’s always a big one, but even more important now.

With a virus that we have no cure for, our last and only line of defense is our immune system. And how do we boost our immune system? Exercise. Plain and simple.

Here’s what a simple 20 minute workout does for you:

  • Physical activity may help flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways. This may reduce your chance of getting a cold, flu, or other illness.
  • Exercise causes a change in antibodies and white blood cells (WBC). WBCs are the body’s immune system cells that fight disease. These antibodies or WBCs circulate more rapidly, so they could detect illnesses earlier than they might have before.
  • The brief rise in body temperature during and right after exercise may prevent bacteria from growing. This temperature rise may help the body fight infection better. (This is similar to what happens when you have a fever.)
  • Exercise slows down the release of stress hormones. Some stress increases the chance of illness. Lower stress hormones may protect against illness.

You can easily get those 20 minutes in one of HOLOFIT workout modes: HIIT training, Fat Burn, Interval training, Race mode, Time Attack… All while enjoying the landscapes that are off-limits in our lives right now.

Keeping Sanity Becomes Difficult

The effects of exercise on physical health are kinda obvious. But HOLOFIT helps with mental health as well.

Locked inside our homes, with bad news all around and nothing to do but wait, it’s so easy for stress and anxiety to kick in. 

Fortunately, scientists have found that HOLOFIT workouts help with that too. More precisely, regular participation in aerobic exercise has been shown to decrease overall levels of tension, elevate and stabilize mood, improve sleep, and improve self-esteem. Even just five minutes of aerobic exercise can stimulate anti-anxiety effects.

Socialization Is an Issue

Last, but not least. We’re all missing other people around us now… Even the most introverted among us!

 If we could just go for a coffee with a friend, or hit the gym with our buddies even if it’s just for 15 minutes…

Well, we’ll have to wait a bit more for that. But this is exactly why our development team rushed to finalize and launch our multiplayer feature!

With HOLOFIT multiplayer you can connect to any HOLOFIT member around the world and train together or compete on your rowing machine, bicycle or elliptical. You will see each other in real time and even “meet” in one of our online Events!

 

Now, to wrap it up, we hope we’ve given you enough reasons to understand why we claim that HOLOFIT is perfect even during the lockdown.
