I'm glad someone else noticed the unfair balancing. Some of the harder exercise you get early on like the squads and planks should definitely do more damage. I'm still doing them because I want to actually do something that challenges me, but it does feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot sometimes.

For switch games you make it 5 joys, 5 cons

I've always heard "your sweat is so shiny it's beautiful". This line makes me laugh though. :D

I'm just gonna say it, I love ring. Hes a wierd little work out freak but hes so positive all the time and tbh I kinda need that energy right now

I realized recently that the habits I got of moving in the last month is something that I miss when I don't do it. Like, yesterday, I gamed for 4 hours. Afterwards, I really felt a urge to move, and played some Ring fit. Today, I played quite a lot (I had my dinner delivered and the food arrived earlier than expected, so I was in the middle of my training; the 40-minute break made it so I was able to play longer) and it felt so good afterwards! I'm so glad that this game helped me staying active after my yoga lessons stopped and that it is now a part of my daily routine. I'm hopeful that this can have a similar result for other people. This game is really neat!

For me, Ring Fit Adventure is an excellent fitness game. However, there are only 3 cons. 1- Ring is the only character with voice acting while the others are grunting when dialogues appears. 2- The game is always reminding you on how to do the Ab Guard, which is a move that you have been doing since world 1. As well as all the moves you must do in the overworld or dungeons, like breaking boulders, opening a chest, climbing, etc. We don't need a reminder. We've been doing these actions during the entire adventure. 3- The game is asking you way too many times if you want to take a break. There should be an option to change how often do you want the game to remind you if you want to take a break. Some people knows when to stop.

My biggest complaint so far (I haven't had the game very long) is that with only 6 slots for exercises in battle, it's hard to get enough variety in each level. I've heard that as you progress you can upgrade the number of slots you have, so I'm looking forward to that.

The constant squats were really hard on my knees, and they resulted in an ache that would haunt me after the game. I found out after a while that I was best served playing this game while wearing runner's braces. As soon as I started using them, my issues went away. Dropped 40lbs.

I just got a ring fit and I’m loving it so far - I haven’t created any playlists yet - this is a good idea! I’ve been doing the sets when I want something different from adventure.

Oh, I am so glad to hear input from a fitness trainer about Ring Fit Adventure. I'm enjoying your videos and just subscribed, too. You are so right in the advice about listening to your own wisdom (and that of a trainer) above the generic guide info: I've got old injuries and scar tissue to deal with and there's no way the game can tailor advice around that. I also agree that some of the chatter from "Ring" is jarringly weird - but ignoreable. One feature I appreciate is the pulse meter that helps me assess light, moderate and intense working out. I've been using it for about 90 days (80 days of actual use), beginning at level one and working a 45-minute session of about 14 minutes of clocked exercise. I'm in my 60s, mostly sedentary and did NOT want any injury to stall me out (which has happened so often in the past) so I started out at the bottom. I am having good results: Progressing to level 9 now, losing 8 pounds, 2" off waist, etc. and enjoying the process. One tip I have for newbies is to RECALIBRATE after a bit. When I first got it, I was nervous about damaging the Ring, so when I first calibrated it, it registered me as way weaker than I am, and as a result, the game expected less of me. I figured this out as I noticed after about a month that I never needed to use any of the in-game smoothies. Even after upping the level to 8, it was still letting me win too easily. I re-calibrated ring, leg and running and it became a more 'honest' workout.

Hey, I enjoyed the video. It's always nice to hear a professional's take on something related to their field. I don't totally agree with some of the cons, namely the voice getting irritating. I personally find Ring's constant cheery attitude encouraging and appreciated. It's nice to have someone as excited about me getting healthy as I am. Obviously though that's totally subjective, and just a difference in opinions. I do very much agree with your #1 con though. I too have found it annoying that some very easy workouts are as effective in combat, if not moreso, than more physically challenging workouts. That's one of those things I've learned I just need to mentally discipline myself on. "Don't set nothing but super easy workouts! Regardless of how much damage they do!" I keep one or two of them as kinda a mid-battle break, but try to equip mostly effective and tough workouts. This works for me personally. Again, nice video. I liked it.

I find the other voice’s “your sweat is so shiny and beautiful” slightly less creepy and more encouraging lol

I found that with calibrating the leg strap I needed to go a little slower on the calibration. Once that was done I was able to maintain a steady pace within the game and everything seemed to be a bit more responsive when running. I haven't had to recalibrate my strap since and it works.

i just started playing but i'm already with you on the unfair balancing, especially as someone with limited mobility. the number of exercises i can is already reduced, but i still want to get a decent workout...but i also want to defeat the bosses lol. it's going to be harder to me to get a proper workout if i can only select the exercises i can realistically do AND the ones that deal a fair amount of damage (not to mention the colour coding).

Haha, i am glad we have a different voice for Ring xD he talks as frequent as always of course, but his voice less obnoxios. I would also like to change the battle power maybe through skillpoints. And like you said a but more information about balancing your workout.

After a month with adventure mode, one thing that I feel like a con is the universal level. Kinda like raising the volume bar and volume for all apps go up the same. I wish I could add level to specific routine rather than to do that routine and wait for the cool down to do that routine again to simulate higher level of that routine.

I would agree with 99% of your pros and cons. Personally, I haven’t had much of an issue with run/walk/sprint. It may take a second or two to register, but for the most part it’s pretty accurate. Perhaps it has to do with the joycons in relation to the console?

also, another big con related to your #1 con -- once you reach a certain level, and you've gotten all the abilities from the skills tree, you just stop getting new abilities, period. There's a set of 10 abilities that I've used for at least the past 200 battles or so just because they have the most power (top 4 single-target, top 3 three-target, top 3 five-target)... I would love it if the abilities didn't have a specific power, just a type of attack (1, 3, or 5 target attacks) that way I could still get the wide variety of exercises, because there are many attacks that I haven't done in months just going through adventure mode

4:41 I belly laughed so hard I can skip my ab workout today. Thanks!

My number one issue is with the leg strap. I wear mine all the way up my leg so it doesn't slide down. This causes a number of moves to not register properly, like knee raises, mountain climbers and leg scissors.

i started playing this game recently and the problem i have is, adventure mode at the beginning seems to focus too much on the legs, you travel by jogging and when in battle, 3/4 of the skill are basically squad... my leg pretty much give up after 5 minutes of playing this game on my 1st day because it just cant handle all those skill that involve the leg.. wish there is more variety in the battle skill so your leg have more chance to rest.

i like the shiny sweat line though :c it always makes me laugh

Con: Monsters just can't keep up with you, but their HP scales very high. I have not used anything but my basic clothes halfway through NG+ and monsters stopped being a challenge long ago unless I give up ab guard. I even let bosses use their full damage ultimate attacks and they only take off a handful of hearts most of the time.

My daughter (20) and I (52) are thinking about getting the Ring Fit. I'm worried that there may be moves I simply can not perform at this time. Does it give you options? Is there a way to work around this?

The largest issue for me is the constant reminder to cooldown and "turn your exercise into experience points with a victory pose". Very annoying.

About the unbalanced Battle mode, I don't it is a bit deal since it is for the adventure. I can alweys pick the harder exercises on free mode to train better.

I really like that game but I hate that some attacks I like are really weak and some which are pretty easy are super strong.. and as a gamer I still focus on damage output...

The biggest con in my opinion are the suboptimal controls. The ab workouts wont recognize half the time. At me, every move when you dont hild the ring, it wont recognize.

I know with my thicc thighs the Jogging used to climb the stairs or getting though water never registers properly.

It’s a completely fair comment to make, but I feel like the #1 con can be mitigated by choosing random, which is what I do

Umm, not sure why #5 exists. I like the ringcon and glad it exists, but yes, it could be improved.

Well, perhaps being so chipper keeps the dark influence away. Or so Ring thinks. It's not healthy to "overwork" an emotion, just like muscles. Would be a good foundation for a sequel story. Get on that Nintendo.

İ have 50kg overweight. Will i lose weight or not is the only answer i wanted to hear.

Nintendo will take your video into account, just so they pulls off another stuff like Ring Fit Adventure, but with those issues addressed.

another HUUUUUUUGE con - I've played the game quite a lot, level 327 currently and I'm one level away from beating the regular mode + extra levels...... this ring con is so awfully, terribly flimsy after the first 50 or 60 hours of play. I actually *HAVE TO* use the abs assist mode to get through the canoe rowing and flying, because otherwise I couldn't do it. All the ring presses and pulls and stuff work fine, but rowing and flying are nearly impossible without the abs assist turned on. I seriously rage quit the game once because the flying just was not responding to all my stomach presses with the ring.
