Haha thanks, I mean if I make a year i think the series will definitely earn that title. I've seen others do 3-4months but that's as far as I've seen yet (and not 1hr/day every day afaik)

more like a complete walkthrough

Your comment immediately reminded me of the Buzzfeed one where 2 out of the 3 didn't finish it.

How did the game go in the end?

Awesome! I’m glad it’s working for you, have fun!

Awesome!! I'm glad you're sticking with it. I feel like if you can make it past the first 2 weeks, it becomes a lot easier (and more fun as a result), hope you get the results you're aiming for!

Thanks for watching all of them, it’s been a really journey haha. I’m aiming to have the new one out on Friday

Thanks! And thank you for the suggestion, it’s the best way to measures fitness I have heard of so far and I’ll definitely be including it in future videos

@@RobNoireGaming Looking forward to seeing it! 😄

Good luck! I think it’s important to find what works for you. Even a little bit of exercise each day can go a long ways over time.

@@RobNoireGaming That's what I'm trying, and, hopefully, I'll be adding more time as I get in better shape :D Thanks for your encouragement and your videos!

Awesome, have fun!

What difficulty did you beat him on

That's awesome! The game can be pretty challenging at the start but if you stick with it, it gets really fun. Enjoy!

Thanks! If you're willing to put in the time, this game can really payoff in terms of exercise.

@@RobNoireGaming Hell yes it can, and you've clearly proven that! I'm a PT, and I'm trying to spread the word of this game as an actual legit workout option for those who dont want to use gyms. And you are too, which is awesome! Keep safe :)

Have fun! And yeah the next video should be up next friday if all goes well!

Hey I don’t think I ever mentioned it actually, I’m 5”11 !

Rob Noire Gaming Thanks for the response! Your being a 5’11”, >160 and a *healthy & fit* 160 makes it even more impressive. And personally inspiring. I’m the same height, 240, still recovering from a bad car crash 7.5 years ago but doing well enough now that I wanna focus on taking 50 pounds of extra weight off my back and knees. 190, here I come! Thanks again for sharing your progress.

I'll definitely look into that, thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't realized I'd be playing the game for so long so hadn't seriously considered it before, but it's true, if I want to keep progressing I'll need to keep pushing myself, and weights seem like the way to go.

Hey, hope it goes well! It will definitely help with stamina and muscle growth, my advice would be to take it slow at the start and slowly increase the difficulty as you get more comfortable with it. It's worth noting that if you're looking for serious muscle gains, especially upper body, a gym would definitely be a lot more effective though - Ringfit really shines through the most in the cardio/aerobic aspects in my opinion. Have fun!

Thanks! To be honest I think the one that was the toughest for me was probably mountain climber. That one gets intense!

Awesome, good luck! I definitely think the first few weeks are the hardest until you get used to it. Once it starts to get easier though, it’s really fun!

@@RobNoireGaming Do you have any advice to start? I really struggled at the beginning, and I only played the 3 first levels. At the end of the first boss fight, I was absolutely drenched in sweat xD

@@3Mikka3 Take it easy at the start - don't push yourself too hard. Don't be afraid to set the difficulty a little lower than the game might suggest. As you get used to it you can make the game harder and push yourself more and more, but if you want to be able to stick with it, it's important to start off at a level that feels comfortable to you and doesn't wear you out. Play time as well - only play as much as you can handle, if three levels is your max, thats absolutely fine. As you get used to it, you'll be able to do more I think that would be my best advice I can think of. I struggled the most during the first 2 weeks or so, after that it became a lot easier for me.

@@RobNoireGaming Thanks a lot =) I'm looking forward to see your next videos to see how you do =)

Haha thanks. Been a fan of them for years

Awesome, great job! Hope it works for you and you have fun!

If you don't mind me asking: How often were you playing and for how long? It would be interesting to know about the progress of others. Thanks!

@@Serl0p I went a solid hour in real life time every day basically. Then maybe once every week I did a longer session at an hour in game time. My diet didn't change much. I just cut down the portion sizes.

Awesome, hope it works for you! Have fun!

Yeah a lot of people have been suggesting that recently, I’m going to look into it for sure!

Thanks! I’ll definitely look into ankle/wrist weights a bit later down the line, a lot of people have suggested it. Do you by any chance have a link to one of those scales you’re talking about? A quick look online didn’t yield any real results. Thanks again!

@@RobNoireGaming sure! I personally bought one of these and they are very good and accurate! www.withings.com/se/en/body-plus/shop?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4tec1r-C6wIVzZ13Ch08Xw5iEAAYASAAEgJ5bvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds It comes with a nice app that helps keep tracking of your results by connecting the data with the scale automatically through wifi or bluetooth. I hope it might be useful :) - but there are other brands too of course :)

I agree flutter kick is hard - I also found mountain climber tough because of the endurance needed. I'll try and talk a bit more about them in the upcoming videos and the challenges I've faced with certain exercises, thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! I went into my diet in one of my earlier Ringfit videos, and I still follow what I showed there - I think it was the 120 day challenge... or maybe the 90 day one... I’ve done a lot of Ringfit videos lol.

@@RobNoireGaming cool. I’ll just watch them all.

Hey I'll think about it. Not super comfortable going shirtless in a video that's going to be viewed by thousands forever on the internet unless I'm 100% happy with how I look (which I'm not currently, but getting there!), but I'll give it some thought! I did do a brief shot of before / after in I think my 90 day challenge? although I was more than 10lbs heavier than currently.

I understand how you feel and that’s ok my friend.

That’s a fun idea actually! There’s a lot I’d like to see done differently so it might take awhile to go over, I’ll have to find which challenge video it could fit on without making it too long of a video, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind for the future!

Well I've agreed based on popular demand to do Ringfit for a full year. After that we'll see, I'll definitely continue exercising but after a year of the same game I'll probably want to look for another way lol.

@@RobNoireGaming Have you considered adding other fitness games to the mix to maintain your sanity / compare? Personally I'd find that quite interesting. Thanks for this series and your commitment, it's very encouraging. You're still losing weight very fast for someone who doesn't have much left to lose!

I have bounced around the idea of potentially doing a 1-3 month series on Wii Fit & Xbox Kinect exercise games in the future, if there’s interest. To keep things as accurate as possible it wouldn’t be until after the year of Ringfit though, so people can see what a year of just Ringfit (no other influences) can get you to

Haha yeah maybe I’ll try that next. See if I can do entire game + bonus worlds in a single month, it’d be intense!

Yeah more or less. If you do nonstop intense exercises (like mountain climber) you can get it down to like 1hr15 play time 1hr exercise time, but the toll it takes on the body just isn’t worth it imho

Hey thanks, glad you enjoy the videos! To change what the counter shows, press the shoulder or trigger button (cant remember which of the 2 it is) on the main Joycon attached to the ringcon. There's like 3 or 4 different measurements you can switch between, personally I'be found calories burned the most helpful.

Hi, for AB guard I used to struggle with it a lot as well. It really just took time for my abs to toughen up enough to hold up against something like a mega ab guard. Just stick with it and keep practicing and it should get easier!

Also would love to see you do another month

I made it to something like 270 days? I don’t remember, I had to stop due to an unrelated health issue where I couldn’t do any strenuous activity while recovering, and I never got back into it afterwards. It’s a fun game but after having beaten everything, it was a little too repetitive for me

It’s not super accurate. It doesn’t count your base calorie burn rate or any time you do any movement / exercise outside of being in levels (think on map, not realizing an attack is done, etc) people who play it with fitness watches have reported that the amount of calories you actually burn while playing tend to be about 25-35% higher than what’s recorded

@@RobNoireGaming Ok that's fine then, I didn't want it to be over estimating like some things do compared to fitness devices.

You can gain muscle with it if that’s what you mean. But regular weight lifting would probably prove more effective

Hmm that's a bit tough - for firsts I'd make sure the game isn't set too hard, when it's easier it tends to be a lot more fun. I also have to literally make time and set aside the time to play this game every day, because I know I'm the kind of person where if it's like "if I have the free time today I'll do it" it'll never get done. That's all the advice I can think of though - maybe some other commenters will also have some better advice for you lol, hope it helped!

What has worked for me is to commit to switching it on and doing at least *something* every day. Even the easiest 30 second minigame. The main thing I've struggled with in the past has been consistency, namely the "I'll just do my big workout tomorrow" pitfall rather than doing something every day, no matter how little, with no fake excuses - and you know when they're fake. Turning on the console, starting the game and playing a minigame takes a couple of minutes. Some days I really was too tired and didn't do more than a few easy mini games and others, an hour or so in adventure mode, with high energy, once I got started. The days I was sorest, or thought I was too tired beforehand, weren't the ones where I did the least, so being sore or tired - not injured, mind you - isn't necessarily a reliable indicator of how much you'll be able to do. However, if you find the game boring or unrewarding, you're not going to want to do even that, maybe. Not trying to provide excuses for you, just that there might be other fitness games you'd enjoy more and that would also allow you to just start one up and do something (always better than nothing, right?) every day. Once you get into the groove after a short while, it's easier to keep going. Committing to play every day for a week is an easy short-term goal to set yourself, that should work towards making it a habit.

I’ve always done silent mode - I live on the 2nd story of an apartment building, normal mode is too loud when you have neighbors below you

@@RobNoireGaming oh! Thats a good idea, thats been my big worry. I didnt realise silent mode existed

At this point, no not really. I’m at the putting on muscle phase.

I use silent mode dude. Stomping around when you have neighbors below you = bad idea

@@RobNoireGaming cheater...

Is it really cheating when the results speak for themselves 😂
