Board 8 » So I picked up Ring Fit Adventure. (Fitness Topic?)
Played the first the 3 levels of story mode which makes up the first world. This shit is legit guys. I was pouring sweat and exhausted by the time I was through. I plan on playing about every other day between my regular work out days so we'll see how this goes!

So how goes everyone's fitness? Anyone hit the gym regularly? Anyone else picked up or played RFA?

I started going to the gym about 10 weeks ago and have made a significant dent in my weight! I was also considering picking this up, it looks pretty cool.

I too am considering compliment by exercise with this game.
I've lost about 20 pounds recently by changing up my diet and am planning on adding exercise (treadmill and weights) really soon.

I might look to pick this up as one method, because even if it is less impactful than other exercise, it's still better than nothing.

I'm turning this into my fitness topic at least.

I started at 285 and today I have my new low weight of 263. I'm really excited by my progress and am hoping to be to my first goal of 250 soon.

I wound up picking this up the other day. Ive played a couple sessions and so far so good! I would say that as someone who already regularly works out this game surprised me with how good it was. It makes running in place fun, which is something I usually fucking hate. I dont know yet how good this game will be for strength training, but I will say that the ring con has some good resistance to it that I wasnt expecting. This game wont replace my runs, but if I keep at it I could see it taking the place of my home workouts.
Tagging, if you guys stick with the game past the first couple weeks and are still enjoying it I might pick it up.

Advo bested even The Show hosts in 2018, yowza!

I just picked it up on a whim, it won't ship for a couple days but it looks pretty good.

I picked this up, will probably start it tomorrow
I actually really want to pick this up but I live on the second floor and have hardwood, so... doesn't seem feasible
There's a silent mode built for that situation. It switches out the running in place and other noisy exercises with something else.
A review I read says it replaces the running with squat and lunges. You'd probably get incredible thighs and calves playing that way, tbh

On the one hand, I like gimmick games like this. On the other hand, I tend to give up once the going gets tough; I played Fitness Boxing until the game upped the exercise speed and I just couldn't stick with it.
I'm gonna do more RFA tonight finally.

I bought this last night. It's helpfully sitting in its box. Long day at work, not sure I want to set anything up right now.
mine shipped, coming tomorrow (originally didn't expect until Nov 4th/5th, so neat...)

probably can't play until friday but here we go

I'm trying to exercise more while home, so maybe this game will help with that? Specifically I want more workout for my legs. Just found out today that I can do handstand push ups (against the wall) so I'll focus on those for my arms.

At a loss on what to do for legs, don't know a whole lot about fitness. My muscles are already decent but it's nice to imagine how I'd look if I actually stuck to a routine. Probs be more confident too.
I don't kill... but I don't lose either.
Squats squats and more squats.

LUNK ALERT
Almost done with world 4. So far so good, still enjoying it. The plank is rough, as to be expected.
alright finally got to start up the game and just cleared World 1

woo yup I need a shower, but it's fun! I'm a real do-nothing sloth so hope to keep up with it

Just started it up, as someone who is pretty fit, regularly hikes and spends his entire day working, this game kicked my butt.

Still shaking from my first session. This is like wii fit on steroids

I'm bad and haven't played in over a week. >_<

10 is enough to kill me
yeah it's cool that it is almost instantly able to tell what can kill you and then kicks your ass.

Also the music is good.

That's pretty nice.
Today I unlocked the Sphere Grid

As I mentioned in a recent topic I'm down a ton of weight thanks to keto and exercise. I started at 320 and am down to 248 (72 lbs) in 140 days so far.

My exercise has mostly consisted of Beatsaber in VR and regular walking for Pokemon Go and Wizards Unite. I'd be willing to check this game out to at some point but I dunno about right now.
Averaging around 2 pounds a day, what sort of sorcery are you casting??
Phantom Dust.
"I'll just wait for time to prove me right again." - Vlado
That 1 pound every two days, not 2 pounds every one day.

And the only sorcery has been having the will to not cheat. Starting Thanksgiving though I'm going to switch to eating carbs again. I'm still going to track what I eat and give myself a calorie limit and I'll evaluate how things are going again in January.
Oops I derped it.

Still pretty insane results.

Has anyone tried intermittent fasting?

These 2 videos explain the process and benefits

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AA-vCRcrS4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RnwRptrdvI

Essentially on a given day you give yourself a time window where you're only allowed to eat in this period (say a period of 8 hours on a typical day), and outside of it you fast, and of course part of your fasting period is while you're asleep. Pretty much, you're only eating 2 meals a day.
Heard of it, that's about it.

I feel like I naturally intermittent fast or come close to it. I usually skip breakfast, eat lunch at 1130 and eat dinner 6-7. Some days its a little bit later but usually around there.

Seeing that explanation i'll try to do it more purposefully though
DPOblivion beat us all.
I removed pretty much every excuse I had for not playing this, and so today I started playing.

I didn't last much more than a minute. Silent mode has you doing quick squats in place of running, and those were killers on my knees. Nothing for it but to rest and get back at it tomorrow.
