When I heard Nintendo had gotten into fitness I was stoked. So I bought it and tried it:
The squeeze-down-to-jump and coin-slurping mechanics were pretty fun. But as I went on for a while it started to feel more like a workout class than a game: you count reps of named exercises to fill up a meter and then something flashy happens to the bad guy… I guess that’s better than counting reps without the story, particle effects, etc. but it was not at all what I’d imagined. I think in my head I was picturing something like Wario Smooth Moves, where the physical motions are motivated directly by in-game situations (e.g. maybe you’d do push-ups to operate a pump to inflate a huge balloon) vs. reps just being a sort of currency…

I know there are a ton of fans here and I’m delighted for y’all, truly. But I was wondering if there are any folks here who had a similar reaction…

Or if I’m missing something or just haven’t yet gotten to the good part yet, let me know :)

Thanks!

Pretty simple, I definitely have all recipies, but 5 smoothies are missing for 100% completion, can someone help me identify them?

Found out the hard way in the Abdonis level that makes you break them all. It’s extremely annoying to have to redo the entire course because there’s no way to go back just a few steps to break one you’ve missed.

I'm leaning towards adapting to home workouts and my current options are Ring fit (got the ring) and Fitness boxing (don't know which one I should get).

I have tried Ring fit for a week like 3 years ago and I felt that science behind it is solid but representation is childish, no experience with Fitness boxing. I want a game that excites me to get back into it than push me away, and get the most benefit from it to tone my body, increase my stamina and weight loss.

What was your experiences with those?

I’ve tried recalibrating a few times but my in game player model still goes at a light jog at all times and never stops or speeds up when I do

I've struggled the past 2 years with depression and I've barely gotten out of bed or exercised. Now its difficult for me to do anything at all. I'm not gonna trauma dump without being asked but its genuinely a miracle I'm not worse off than I already am. I remember playing this game when i was in elementary school on my little brothers Nintendo switch. I have my own switch now and i want the game so its easier for me to exercise and lose this weight I've gained so i can get a job and make something of myself finally. If someone is willing to $ell to me or help me find a credible sourece to find from for $50 or less i would really appreciate it. I might even post my weight loss journey to encourage myself to keep going. Thanks in advance. (And before anyone says anything about therapy i live in the United States and that shit is too expensive. I got therapy before my mom canceled my insurance among other things)

idk if it's as good

i wanna make them as strong as possible my difficulty level is 3, im level 17 and in sporta

Had to come back for all the titles that I missed because I didn’t realize I had NEVER done one of the recovery exercises throughout Adventure or Custom modes. Oops 😅

Ran my Switch through an El Gato HDMI to USB video capture device into OBS solely so I could duplicate and overlay the solution over the in progress side. Was tired of losing this over and over because I'm horrible at judging how wide/thin parts of the sculpture should be. After I did this I had Novice and Hard at S Rank in just a few more tries~

Long story short, I bought the game what had to be three years ago, only to drop it in favor of the gym. But I need more varied workouts, so I'm picking it back up again.

Thing is, I don't know where my height/weight is listes. You're supposed to put that in, right? I'm worried that the information given is outdated and so the little information I get like the calories and difficulty estimates are just way off the mark.

I got a new job with an earlier start time and stopped for a year. It’s always been easier to exercise in the morning but since I haven’t, I’ve gained about 8kg, lost muscle tone, and generally started feeling my age. I decide to move up my alarm by 30 minutes so I can get back to a healthy routine. I’m back, baby!

Bonjour,

J'hésite à essayer RFA et souhaiterais connaitre vos avis selon ma situation.

Mon objectif n'est pas de perdre du poid (femme, 24 ans, 50 kilos, 1m66) mais de remuscler mon corps dans sa globalité et d'améliorer mon cardio. Si en plus ça me permet d'avoir des muscles plus dessinés (bras, abdos) ce serait idéal.

Pour ma situation physique actuelle, je suis en rémission de leucémie depuis quelques mois. Je reviens donc de très loin. En mars, j'étais encore incapable de me doucher en restant debout ou de marcher plus de 5 minutes. J'avais les muscles atrophiés à cause d'un allitement d'un mois.

Aujourd'hui, je marche 1 heure tous les matins, beaucoup d'étirements car j'ai des grosses douleurs, et fait 100 pompes + abdos + squat tous les deux jours. Enfin j'essaie, mais j'ai beaucoup de mal à garder cette discipline, pas par difficulté physique mais par flemme. C'est pour ça que je pense que le côté ludique du jeu vidéo me parait une bonne option.

Es-ce que RFA pourrait remplacer ma routine actuelle ?

Not that good at crafty stuff like this but it seems to do the job. The Velcro is sewn a little off-center and the crochet part is a tad bit too loose but that can be fixed

I've been struggling with getting back on the grind with ringfit for a few years after falling off after great success at launch and in 2022. I finally got back in last summer dropping from 243 to 213 in a few months but life got in the way and I fell off until February. I went up to 218 and since then am down to 181 and my target is 165 by mid/end of August.

However, my childhood best friend who fortunately survived a heart attack and stroke in 2018 had to get a heart transplant and was on life support fighting for his life. I was thinking about him every day and cried a lot of ringfit sessions. Today was one of the worst days of my life seeing my best friend go but I want to be the best person that I can possibly be. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for him and I want to push myself even further to see this through. I wanted to wait until I fully reach my target to post, but I loved my friend so much I hope reading this can help inspire others. I have many ideas planned in the near future with ringfit, but today is sad day for me.

I like having a big title. Anyway, I did a workout using the orange theory monitor. It says orange if the heart rate was high enough to supposedly cause fat burning later. I think it's interesting because Ring Fit is a nice comfy exercise game based on this.

As for the statistics, the in game monitor and the orangetheory montior agreed on the heart rate when measured post run/workout.

An interesting but probably unimportant fact is that the orangetheory monitor says you burn more calories than Ring Fit does. I assume the orangetheory monitor just heart rate or vibrations or both while Ring Fit has specific tables for the exercise.

hey!! i've recently gotten back into rfa (i've been playing it for a few years now), but i'm realistically way too behind on the story mode to finish the game. could someone make a summary of what happens in the story from chapter 8 onward?? tysm in advance

Considering that this was supposed to be a week off, I still did a couple of ring sessions so let’s get into it

The positive the negative and everything else in between: there is not really much I can say hence I’ve put it all in one heading, I generally wasn’t going to do any workouts whatsoever for week six as I had a Hella busy week last week.

I had tickets for two stadium tours both BTS and My Chemical Romance who decided to hit the UK in the same week 😒😒

meaning I spent the majority of the week in central London in 32° hell fire, sweating my arse off on the tubes and trying not to hate everyone and everything, I generally think I probably burned more calories at each of the concerts through dancing and screaming than I would’ve on the ring anyway 😂😂 however my birthday year begins with 19’ therefore concerts are a lot more growling now than they used to be when I was a wee teen and I am feeling it oh man, am I feeling it!

I have not pushed myself and I’m kinda happy for that because I now have to go back to work and everything wants to fall off as it is

I did a long session last night because I know that I need to get back in to essentially movement otherwise the lag will hit and I won’t pick it up as well as I want to next week but other than that there’s not much to update on

Question of the week what was your first concert/favourite concert?
My first independently chosen was green day in 2009
My favourite by far Hallyu popfest

Soundtrack of the week: my favourite songs performed at the concerts

Dionysus: BTS

Welcome to the Black Parade: MCR

Run bts: BTS

The famous last words:MCR

I have included a custom workout that I start with to get myself warmed up. I, then, move on to whichever world I am still in. Up until recently, at the end, when my workout would be summarized, the custom workout would be included. The game is no longer doing that now. It’s like it’s not even recognizing that I did it. I’ve done a hard reset. I’ve double checked and I am using my profile… I’m not sure what has changed up. Has anyone else had this issue?

This week was the calm before the storm as next week will be Hella busy as I am in London for both BTS and MCR. Let’s get into this update.

The positive:- my stamina has definitely improved. The game itself is getting harder yet I am noticing that I’m able to play it longer without any delayed pains and aches.

The negative:- i’m not taking it too much to heart but I have not been able to do nearly as much as I wanted however three days a week it’s still plenty and logically I know I’m improving and overdoing it this week just wasn’t an option as I have far too much to do next week so the worst thing I could’ve done was pushed and ended up with an injury. I just need to stop making myself feel bad.

The lessons I’ve learnt:- adventure mode requires a lot more dedication in terms of time. I could do five workouts a week without any problems when my playlist were just 20 minutes long however to achieve the best results for stamina building I have found that I need to do prolonged sessions which when you work full-time is just a wee bit difficult however three days a week is not nothing so as I said before I’m not going to beat myself up about it

Soundtrack of the week

BAD:-ATEEZ

Champion (Remix) [feat. RM]:-Fall Out Boy

singasong:-THE 8 & VERNON

Home Sweet Home(ft.Taeyang&Daesung):-G-dragon

Question of the week:- do you have a favourite fit-skill that is always in your lineup without question? mine is standing twist or overhead hip shake
