Sometimes you can get dizzy when you over exert yourself and you'll just hear the blood flowing in your head. When this happens for me this signals that I should stop, otherwise something bad could happen. Don't overdo it and see a doctor if it concerns you.
Yeah go into the Sets menu and there's a Posture Set for improving your posture, it's the only one I've tried so far because of sit-down job, I do one after every adventure workout and it straightens me up nicely.
I'd honestly prefer that, haha. Don't mind during cutscenes, but I don't need him to scream every time I squat.
You can turn down voices in the "My menu" (left face button on the Ring-Con).
Is your console sound set to "Surround" ? I had the same issue, this is one of a few games that uses 5.1 but my TV does not decode it the right way, thus I did not have voices for the first two worlds.
I put it back to "Stereo" and now I have voices, my sound decoder even maps it to Dolby Digital, so voices still go on the center channel.
It's way better with the voice, mostly during stretching or when you can't see the screen, as almost everything is indeed voiced, you don't have to read how to do postures.
Yes, I'm amazed how well designed and fun the game is. All the attention to details... For example, you can rush/sprint through the levels or you can move slowly and collect eeeevery little hidden coin (there are a lot of hidden single coins). The former player approach trains the legs, the other approach trains the arms.
I get light headed and dizzy every now and then after squats, I think part of it is of course the strain of the exercise but part of it is also that I'm pretty tall and when I raise my body up I get a bit of a headrush. I've never before had that happen with hearing loss though. I think the mega ab guard just had me pushing myself really hard while squatting really wide, so that when I lifted myself up (probably way too quickly) it just combined the headrush with the strain of the exercise.
My wife and I have been having a blast with this game! On world 3 and replaying some levels for EXP to take on Drago. Having fun earning extra points when the switch is off, using the Ring solo feature. Try to save them up and give all points to the wife :)
Seems like we could really get into this. Hoping the adventure is sufficiently long to keep us moving for a few months!

To anyone who has has this:
Does it expect you to use it daily like some other exercise games, or can you just do it whenever you want? I'm interested in just doing it when I feel like it in between the rest of my regime, and I don't want to to nag or penalise me for doing it intermittently.

Indeed, its better just to not blindly follow in-game calorie counter at all and just use it as an estimate. There are many other factors such as weight and how well you are used to every move (and how many reps/sets you are able to do). Also this is why I never use calorie counting anyway. Just excercising until I sweat and feel really sore/out of breath is a good indicator when it is time to rest.
There are ingame achievements for like playing 10 days in a row. But that has zero impact on the game. Other than that the game actually reminds you to take breaks or stop the training if you run out of energy. It even encourages you to not play at all if you don't feel well. The game asks you sometimes on startup how your sleep was, how you feel, if anything is sore and might recommend you to skip training.
It's basically cheering on you if you exercise but also encourages you to take your time and don't overdo it.
I've been playing at level 30 from the start and I'm starting to wonder if that's a bad idea, since I can only go for about 15 minutes of active time, usually. Isn't a sustained 30-60 minutes of activity supposed to be best cardio-wise? Maybe I'll drop down a bit until I can hit that reliably.
Since we finally now know the extent of what's in the game, it is long enough to keep you busy for a looong time!
Regarding the comments you get from the game, the comments seem extremely balanced and seem to work great regardless of how you choose to play the game. In our family, we play it very differently, and everything feels right regardless of how we play. In some ways, this game feels the very opposite to the bad and static game design of Wii Fit U.

How do I check how to get 100 percent in a world? I am at 90% in world 3 and don't know what I'm missing. There are no more quest icons.
That remaining thing becomes available later.
There's one minigame that's just absolute bullshit. It's so freaking frustrating! Haha
Actually, that's one of my favourite ones!
I injured my finger rock climbing and need something active to do indoors while it is healing. Is this worth the $100 CAD price tag?
Just got mail to participate in a Nintendo survey about Ring Fit Adventure. I think this was one of my best rated surveys :D
I had a bit of the same issue, it did not seem to work that much with my abs, I unlocked another similar one later that make you rest on your elbows and raising legs, it's way much harder on the abs.
So I guess you can try to rest on your elbows instead of your hands, thus your body will be lower and it should work harder on your abs.
That's what I would try if I still used that one.
Also, you can try by keeping your legs straighter by not bending your knee too much (like having lower legs horizontal), that would shift weight more on your legs instead of recenter it on your body, thus abs should work a bit more.
I've only seen the Giant Bomb quick look so don't know too much about it but am curious about playing this with a disability. Do they let you tailor the workouts to focus on just upper body stuff if you can't do the leg exercises, or are even wheelchair bound? What about If you don't have much mobility in your shoulder or something, can you choose to ignore the behind the back stuff, for instance?
Hey guys. Just got this game on Friday and ive done 4 days in a row, and as soon as I've gotten out of bed, which is rare for me. I've struggled with my weight for a couple years now so hopefully I can keep it up.
I started by doing one world a day, but world 3 I had to split into 2

Watch out for that mega ab guard coming up in the second to last level. Wide squat plus squeezing the ring.
picked it up today. barely got through world 1 and 1 stage for world 2. I am beyond sore. I feel somewhat fulfilled though. I think I will do this as a morning work out before i get the day started daily.
The worlds get gradually longer and longer. I feel I only do fractions of a world each day now. The good thing with the game is that I don't feel that I don't evolve in the game even though I only progress a few stages. The XP and money increases fast.
Bought this on a whim a moment ago. Hopefully it helps me over time with my total lack of energy at the end of the workday. Kind of tired of just being dead tired after work and only having enough energy remaining to shower and eat before falling into bed for the evening.
I'm in world 3 now (I really need to play this more for my own health). I'm glad I'm getting some alternatives because there are some exercises I feel like the game never reads right like squatting. Maybe it's because I'm fat with shit knees but no matter how low I go the game seems to spaz out.
The sticks or even buttons aren't used in the game, unless you actively select it.
I'm hoping the plot twist is that Tipp is secretly working with Dragaux and has been teaching you poor form the whole game.
Argh, I haven't played in like three weeks! First week I was legit sick so so took five days off, then forgot about it since then. Dragaux won.
