Ah sounds like my worries are unneeded if it not only checks at the start, but in between sessions also. Thanks for the information! I'll keep an eye on it, and either pull the trigger before GCU expires (or maybe a BF deal will pop up).

Just convinced myself to order this. I've been using an app this past few weeks to tone muscles, but now I'm gamifying this even further.
... Now if I could just resist eating pastries...

Got this game today and played through the first world. My goodness this game is way more intense than I anticipated! I think it had me a 21 intensity. That final boss! Phew!!
My wife is excited to start playing as well. Hope some of my friends pick this up so we can compare fitness prowess 💪

I mean, I have a gym membership and go fairly frequently and have been losing weight to be just a few pounds into the overweight column from my last doctor visit. So, while I get what you mean, please don't assume others online aren't taking care of their health because they're not prepared to drop $80 on something.
Hmm
Is it muscular soreness or something else?
Usually, back pain or injury can be the result of a weak core.
Picked this up today while visiting my parents. They wanted to see it in action, so I played through the first few stages and beat Dragaux.
For the first time, working out didn't feel dreadful. I anticipated it to be more intense, but I was at around medium difficulty. Looking forward to turning it up as I train more. I did expect the ring to be more resistant. It doesn't take much to fully compress it.
My family can be skeptical, and quick to say if something is BS, but they all agreed that this can be effective if made routine. I'm going to stick to it and see how it goes. It doesn't feel like a gimmick so far. If anything, it can teach proper form/types of workouts and act as a stepping stone.

It makes me happy that everyone is enjoying this, it legit is one of my favorite games of 2019. Probably top 5 too
?
I was trying to be informational. I had assumed you were waiting on a sale and had interest in the game at a low price, but I see that that's actually not the case.
I'm loving it. The Ring-Con accessory is just really, really well designed and the adventure is well-conceived.
Made it through the second world tonight, took 28 minutes, re-adjusted the difficulty to 14 from 20 after the first two levels because I was dying by then. Might bump it up to 16, but 20 got to be too much for today. I need to share pictures here, but I have to set up another twitter account again.
I'm feeling it in my calves and quadriceps right now five hours after my workout. Feels good. Anyone on the first level of world 2 with the obstacle course-looking level, ever make it on the above platform 50 meters into the level? Tried three times and could not get it, I also couldn't get the overhang coins on the reverse conveyor belts. Think I need to adjust my jogging measurement upon setup, I really had to bring my knees nearly to my chest while jogging to get my speed to max.
What's everyone's favorite move so far? I'm only level 12, but the spinal twist (forgot what they call it in-game) move is so nice, the air created from the side-to-side motions feels great after sweating a bunch. My least favorite is the overhead press, my arms burn by the 12th rep and I usually have another 13 more.

I haven't tried it yet in my room which has too little space, but so far, just your arm span and enough room to lay down is more than plenty. It might need more room later on depending on the moves, but you just need enough room so you're not bumping back into tables or hitting your arms on chairs or walls.
I'll do everyday 30-45 minutes unless there is some force majeure or if my regular excercise / sports is really intense.
If you don't do more than that your body really doesn't need rest days as such.
For me it has asked if I want to change the difficulty for more intense few times. You can also find submenu where you can alter the difficulty.
Not much. You need to be able to hold your hands above your head, sit and extend your legs and be able to move your arms to the sides. That's it.
It is much more intense than I expected. I was out of breath already after the first two stages :(
I'm legit impressed by the ring, it's very good exercise, played half hour today and after a lot of battles, ring presses were the biggest trouble, I already feel my arms getting stronger.
Completed my second workout today.
Did world 2 until boss fight and afterwards did some manual sets.
I love the game, it's very addictive. But I really need to look into some personalisation.
I go to the gym 3 times a week, alternating groups of muscles (chest/biceps/legs on one day, shoulders/triceps/back the other day). The days in between when I'll be using RingFit, I want to work on other groups so I don't overdo it on some muscle groups.

Not all that much. I don't have a big apartment and I have this ~1x2 meter space between my sofa and the coffee table that I use to play this and at least so far that's been enough.
I did those as well today. Needless to say, I was done after the boss fight lmao.
I don't really know :/ But 2 days after, I don't feel any pain.
Thanks for all the advice given btw, I checked how to do squats and yeah my position was not good
Agreed, it has much more charm than Wii Fit and I played that a lot, too.
By the end of the year this will probably be my most played game...
Got it yesterday. My girlfriend is in really good shape. Doing fitness, working out...her intensity is 20. After two stages she was sweating like crazy. She had so much fun. She was really impressed how much content the game has. The adventure itself, minigames, building your own exercise plan, the multitask option. And today her muscles are aching. Such a good and fun experience!
I just tried mine and it worked. Thanks for the reminder by the way
World 3 boss made me use a lot pf smoothies, like 3 super spinach and 4-5 spinach.
At 1h:30m total exercise time I'm #10 at global ranking 1986.
And in many stats I'm between #2 to #10.
I wonder if that means that the game bombed.

I'm very tempted to get this. I cant be assed to go workout after my daily job job kicked my ass physically but this looks like a nice complement and it's something I can do for 30 minutes to work up a nice sweat. Temptation rising with all the stuff I'm reading here
You can see how many 1986 people are playing the game.
Someone should take one for the team and calculate all the birthyears :D
IM also in the top 10 for basically everything for 1986, there dont seem to be many people our age playing it.
Yeah, the 3rd boss fight wasnt playing around. I was a little under leveled but I figured it didnt matter, and I only made 2 smoothies since I didnt think I would need them. Even blocking I was taking a little over a heart of damage and the boss would often attack twice; if the fight had gone on for another round or two I would have lost due to lack of healing items. I dont think I would have tried the fight again if I lost after all that.

Hey guys I'd like to buy Ring Fit but digitally.
I heard there's a retail version with a digital code instead of the cart, at least in Japan.
Also that in Japan/Asia they sell the Ring-con by itself.
Can't find either on Amazon.jp or other branches. Anybody can help me out with a link or something, possibly with a decent deal not super overpriced 😅

Played a little this morning and am really impressed so far!
the ring itself feels great and more "heavy duty" than I was expecting and I was impressed with how well it tracks all the movements. This thing is cooool!
All I do for exercise is run, so the squats and everything else were making me feel the BURN pretty hardcore. I'm really impressed. The variety alone is enough to sort of add it into my daily routine for a nice little change up.
have a pretty bad cold so I cut it short, but I'm looking forward to more and the first impression it makes is fantastic. Lots of charm, here.

Tempted to get this since I'm seriously out of shape at the moment and this look like exercise that would appeal to me.
How many calories do you find you burn per session?

Maybe they're only selling the digital version on the Japanese My Nintendo store? https://store.nintendo.co.jp/ext/pickup/feature_ringfit_adventure.html
I think is only available through MyNintendo store in Japan, and i don't think they shipped outside of Japan.
Having same experience as you.
Also the walking/running is kinda off. Sometimes I go fast, sometimes very slow.
I also don't know if I need to strap the joycon high or love to my thighs
In the menu under everyones rankings, then everyones profile. There only seems to be just over 100 people for 1986.
I tend to put mine a few inches above the knee. I think it's supposed to be slightly higher but it tends to slip down a bit no matter how tight I have it. I'm also trying to figure out if I should keep going or take a break for a few days because my right knee has been feeling weird since my session yesterday.
