Ring Fit Adventure: Day 1

[sami]

I haven't been reading or posting lately because... I want to say "I suck" but more accurately it's because I haven't had the spoons and everything remains terrible and I've been a mix of doing things and grieving people and that's already too much.

Back in March I found out Ring Fit Adventure exists and ordered a copy, which I just got, because they were sold out.

Current state of my fitness: frankly I was nearly done in by the warmup part, but I got a start on the actual adventure part, too.

Today's Results:

Ring Press: 36
Jogging: 98m
Dash: 43m
Walking: 0m

And what Ring Fit Adventure says is:

"You worked hard! These are great results for your first day!"

(Before the start it asks you your age, weight, and how much you exercise, and my answers were 39, fat, and not at all.)

So what we have so far is that Ring Fit Adventure isn't judgey, which is nice, and I am so hideously out of shape it's appalling, which I knew. I was still working on recovering from the broken leg when I had that really vicious bout of flu, and everything kind of went downhill from there.

And now my new plan to try and get in better shape is a Nintendo game, and I'm okay with that!

Well I'm impressed, I couldn't have done so much! Ok, I could manage that level of walking, but you can only go up from there :)

It's not true running, or I couldn't have done it either. It's basically marching in place, although you have to take big knee-lifting steps to go upstairs near the end of the first level which was harder. (I had another go early evening after a rest.)

But I'm pleased!

And the Switch told me I did a great job!

One thing I do really like about how they've done it is that the game is VERY ENCOURAGING.

I'm glad! I hate when stuff like that makes you feel bad, that's no way to encourage people.
