Skooch is a famous gamer and YouTuber who is known for his experimental and unique videos related to VR. The streamer decided to merge virtual reality and fitness, to test how the effectiveness of the futuristic device. In his video, Skooch said, “The truth is a lot simpler. Because I wanted to develop the world’s first-ever gamer body. A body crafted by video games and video games alone.”

The gamer started the first day of his challenge with the famous Beat Saber game. In this game, the player uses a controller to smash the boxes that come flying toward the person, based on the beat of the music.

For 30 days, the YouTuber kept on switching games and updating the fans about all the ups and downs he went through while undergoing this challenge. By the end of day 30, Skooch revealed his final results. “I started my journey at 186.2 pounds.
