My First 80 Days of VR for Exercise

This post is clearly about cardio while your whole comment dismisses it for not being strength training and talks of strength training. Just because you do strength training it doesn't mean cardio is useless and in fact many people do both.

As for progression you do it the same way as running presumably - by putting more time and/or doing it faster.

The title of the post is "Virtual Reality: My Digital Dojo for Mental & Physical Fitness". The post is about physical fitness and I think the author is conflating physical fitness with cardiovascular fitness.

> in fact many people do both.

And I argued for both and that strength training also results in cardiovascular adaptations.

How would the term physical fitness, used as the complement of mental fitness, not include the cardiovascular? The blog never claimed anything about bulking up or maximising strength!

And I never claimed that physical fitness doesn't include cardiovascular fitness.

What you said boils down to "but that's just cardiovascular, not proper physical fitness." By that measure, Lance Armstrong on the height of epo abuse wasn't fit.
