Is anybody still using Ring Fit Adventures?

[Tomo815]

I got RFA when it first came out but I only started using it regularly about six months ago.

Ill be honest here and say that I do feel more energetic, but I don't really see much difference. My weight hasn't changed.

How was your experience? Are you still using it regularly? Can you see some improvements?

 

[Deleted member 21411]

I fall in and out of depression but I'll be honest it's a great workout and it does give me more energy

 

[Shelbyville Milhouse]

Yeah, I just got back into it.

 

[jwk94]

Wasn't there a poster that got a six pack from it?

 

[Soda]

Used it for a month in May last year. Got bored. Turns out I hate workouts that are timed or based on things I can't control. I can't wait to just get back to the gym.

 

[Kino]

I fell off for a few months but I'm getting back into it.

 

[echoshifting]

Funny, I was just thinking about buying this for days when spinning sounds unbearable.

 

[Weegian]

I picked it up about a month and a half ago, and I feel like a genius, since restrictions have only gotten more severe here since then.

I mean, did you change your eating behavior?

You can do exercises way more intense than ring fit and not lose weight because your eating habits are still suboptimal.

 

[Beren]

I use it regularly. It's good for keeping pounds off during quarantine, but it's not a substitute for weights or the gym. But I got it early during lockdown and I definitely don't regret it.

 

[whatsinaname]

Just hit Day 90 today. Been doing a workout every third day. Love it.

 

[Dyle]

Just beat NG+ last week, something like 160 hours of playtime, not sure about exercise time. I only do it 3 or so times a week now, I find it's a lot less satisfying at this point with so few rewards left on the treadmill to earn, but it's still good.

I do recommend it. I enjoy the hell out of it and I am practically addicted to it now. Its just that don't see much change on the outside yet. Maybe it takes time.

 

[Durden]

My wife still uses it nearly every day. She's been on it for around 6 months. Loves it and is about halfway through NG++

 

[Deleted member 27751]

I got Ring Fit in January as a late Christmas present from the partner. It has been so much fun and I do feel better from it. I have had a lacking three weeks off from it, though that's in part because the teaching term has gotten crazier. The actual game is fantastic and really has that perfect balance of gym "workout" and game.

 

[Trouble]

GF and I were pretty rock solid on it for a few months, but then she injured her shoulder, so we've been sticking with the treadmill since then. We want to get back into, but not sure if we want to start over or not.

 

[mktrOOps]

My GF is playing Ring Adventure right now and she has a blast with it! Such a great game.

what, i'm fit i used to go to gym everyday and practiced martial arts and never got a six pack, someone used ring fit and got it?

if its real life is too unfair

 

[Shadow]

I want to get back into it, been out since around.. wow, the middle of 2020 now? (Surprised myself heh). I need to get out of the mind set that I don't have time, but in reality I have plenty of time. I had waaaay more energy when I played it, so I really should.

 

[Dark Mantonio]

I just bought it and plan on using it after I move into a bigger space at the end of the month.

 

[deimosmasque]

My partner uses it daily.

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

Sold it. Wasn't fun in the long run. Rather playing VR fitness games instead.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

I'm at level 71 with about 10 hours of playtime. But I only use it as a warm up (10-15 minutes at a time) before I do a weightlifting workout with my home weights. So in terms of use, still pretty regularly- as often as I do my weightlifting so 3-4 times a week for the last 6 months.

I do recommend it. I enjoy the hell out of it and I am practically addicted to it now. Its just that don't see much change on the outside yet. Maybe it takes time.

Like they say, six-packs are made in the kitchen. You need to adjust your diet to also see results.

 

[mistersensation]

All the time! It's been my main source of exercise throughout the pandemic

EDIT- No real 'results' as far as weight loss, but I haven't been strictly dieting or anything, I mostly just use it to stay active since I'm sitting most of my day

Thanks this is a good point. I think I did, but nothing extreme. I always ate healthy food, no junk food or sugary drinks, but I used to eat more. Only Recently I was able to eat slightly less. I am less hungry or maybe less ready to stuff myself out of habit. But its not a big change and I am still heavy lol.

 

[Giolon]

I had to stop using it last year after an unrelated injury and I'm about to start it back up as my rehab gets going soon.

 

[totofogo]

I fall in and out of depression but I'll be honest it's a great workout and it does give me more energy

couldn't have said it better myself lol

What a great game though, just wrapped up another world the other day. I'm on and off it, and usually playing it for a bit gets me to start going to the gym in my building or out on runs again. I'm not in any rush to finish it... but it's a super low barrier way to get me back into working out when I fall off the wagon.

Definitely deserves a slot in smash :)

Also, when I'm playing it I definitely see results. OP, what difficulty setting are you at? Have you raised it as you've progressed?

 

[DNAbro]

I don't use it nearly as often as I should. Fuck it i'll work out today

 

[Deleted member 69942]

I just used it again. My girlfriend uses it much more. But I am planning to put it in my daily routine now.

 

[Cudpug]

Been playing every day since the game came out, give or take. It has been invaluable during lockdown and I've never been in this good of a shape. I drop every other workout routine I do, but this definitely works for me. God bless Ring Fit Adventure.

 

[Quinton]

I'm gonna boot it up for the first time sometime this week!

 

[Glom]

Yes. Nowhere near as frequently as I should mind you.

 

[lord_of_flood]

I need to get back into it. I was in and out of my usual routine over the holidays, and my usual workout area in my house experienced minor flooding a month and a half ago so I haven't been back to my routine in a while. I think the restoration guys are supposed to put in carpet this week, so I'm hoping to start back up once everything gets moved back in there.

 

[Iwao]

It's worth the asking price?

I keep hovering on this purchase.

 

[Damn Silly]

I've been used it for the past month or so (today was day 35), I don't know if I'm losing weight or gaining muscles or whatever but it has been good fun. Mostly. Fuck squats.

 

[Brat-Sampson]

I played it today! I've been pretty rare on it this year though, tbh, doing other exercises more than last year instead, but early in lockdown for a good few months I was putting in 20-30m of exercise every day or two for months. It's a great game, though like 70% through NG+ at level 245 or so and I know there's no new skills until after NG+ is done, so it's getting a bit repetitive only using the most viable skills...

 

[Acrano]

Yeah still are and played it today. Trying to get in 2-3 sessions a week right now, but there are weeks where I don´t do any. It´s realy the only thing besides cycling tours that keep me motivated right now and thanks to home office I spend nearly the whole day sitting around so I need the excercise. Bought it back in October and lost a bit of weight but now it´s mostly stable, noticed that I build up a lot of muscles on my legs which were already quite strong due to a lot of cycling.

 

[Lihwem]

It's an amazingly well-made fitness app and a proper AAA Nintendo video game. It has all the polish you can expect from the latter and has most likely been QA'd to death. It's an incredible piece of software.

As an audio designer myself, I've been continuously amazed by the quality, not only of the audio in general, but also and mostly of the interactive music in the game. I even made a video to showcase some of its systems to some audio people around me, because I find it sad that it's not spoken about more in game audio discussions:

 

[Kouriozan]

I do, even though I'm doing like 2 months break sometime, but I have surprised that I still do.
I finally reached the last story chapter as well, it tooks 16 months but here we go.

It's genuinely a fantastic workout and a good game.

 

[Jackano]

I see plenty of people playing it in my Switch dasboard.
And know a couple of new buyers during the last fe wmonths IRL.

 

[Solobbos]

I play it every day or two since acquiring it last summer.

 

[trashbandit]

I don't find it to be a good replacement for lifting weights + treadmill/elliptical, but it's better than nothing so I'm still doing it. Once I get the vaccine and can feel okay going in a gym, I don't think I'll keep playing it.

 

[LostSkullKid]

I lost like 50 pounds in like the first 4 months of me playing it.

 

[RROCKMAN]

Yes! Taking it up and changing the way I eat has helped me lose 10 pounds and made it so I dont need to take metformin anymore. It's had a much bigger impact on me than I anticipated!

Has gotten me to the point where I actually want to buy a workout set and take the training further, but it's hard enough eeaking out time for this as is.

 

[Panou]

My wife, almost everyday.

 

[anariel]

I (try to) use it every other day. It's not ever going to result in much in terms of weight loss, but it's better than not doing any exercise at all. The fact that it's so simple and straightforward makes it easy to stick to a routine. Disguising it behind RPG trappings makes for good progression, too.

 

[Andrew J]

I'm about to start a session right now!

 

[jimtothehum]

I really enjoyed it during the time I used it and it gives pretty good workouts. I used it right until I invested in an adjustable Kettlebell, which I found to be a much better workout.

IMO - it's the single best at-home purely resistance workout money can buy. It's VERY good.

But like any workout, you only get what you put into it. I beat the game last summer and didn't really get into new game plus the way I thought I would (Plus we had a few days there where you could go back to the gym). I should start over again since it'll be a good 2 or 3 months before I can get vaccinated.
