Before I embark on my Doom Eternal/Animal Crossing: New Horizons adventure on this lovely Friday morning, I thought I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how much of a godsend Ring Fit Adventure has turned out to be.
Apparently it's sold out everywhere at the moment, but I had actually picked it up a few months back. I missed about a month at the gym over the holidays which, along with all of the eating & drinking, I had gotten fat and out of shape again in a hurry. The idea was once I started getting back into good shape via going to the gym every weekday morning, I'd add Ring Fit into my repertoire as a sort of supplemental workout I could do on the weekends, or in a pinch if I didn't have time to go to the gym or was out of town.
With COVID-19 shutting down my gym (through the end of March as of now, but will probably extend beyond that) I was a bit demoralized as I was just getting back into a good groove in terms of both cardio and weight lifting.
I turned to Ring Fit in my time of need, and, wow! I had my first RFA workout yesterday morning, and I'm blown away by it. I hadn't realized how many muscles I'm not using on a regular basis. Because I'm in an apartment, I have to do squats in lieu of jogging in place, so I knew my quads would be hurting today. But my hamstrings and upper back are both on fire this morning! I chose the second-highest intensity, and maybe that will prove to be me flying a bit too close to the sun, but I'm going to go with it for now. I did about 20 minutes, which was about the first 2+ missions, and it was as legit a workout as I've had.
Anyone else Ring Fitting it up during the lockdown? |

Guillaume said:edit - BTW, DO check out the Custom mode. I had been stringing individual exercices one after the other in Quick Play, but Custom will make you a personalized stretching routine just like the story mode does. It's neat. Thanks for suggesting this. I tried it today and I'll definitely be making use of it regularly. Because I have to do quiet mode, I do a lot of squats normally and whenever I do a lot of leg exercises on top of that, my legs are shot for the next day or two. Initially I was trying to do a well-rounded exercise each time, but I've switched to alternating more specialized workouts (legs/cardio day, then arms, then core, etc.). Since my next main story mission has an emphasis on leg exercises and I haven't yet recovered from the last round, I just did the Custom set of core exercises today rather than replaying a core-focused mission I already did. (Although I flew a bit too close to the sun today, and did 2 - well, more like 1.5 - boat poses, and felt like I was going to die. My core strength isn't there yet!) TriforceBun said:I've been tempted to play around with the other modes, but I really dislike how none of them except Adventure add to your total time. I like to shoot for around 15 minutes of exercise time when I play, and I like the game keeping track of that, but it seems like nothing outside of Adventure wants to do that. Kinda de-motivates me a bit from experimenting...! Do you mean cumulative? (as in, it adds to your overall time playing with the game). At least from what I saw today, in Custom mode you get a summary at the end of each custom workout (instead of one at the end of your total workout for the day). But I ran through my custom workout a second time and the clock in the corner did retain my total time from my first and second workouts. |
