To show you the colossal potential of VR fitness games, let's go from estimating Pilates' effectiveness. During one hour of pilates, you can lose 260 calories. How about other pilates benefits? According to Betterhealth.vic.gov.au, pilates increases muscle strength and tone, strengthens abs, back, hips and glutes.

Now let's go through the most calorie-burning VR fitness games and compare their effect with Adele's favorite sport.
