Pollyanna posted:It is Wednesday, I did world 1 on Saturday, and only now are my thighs starting to recover. Haven’t played since. Maybe I’ll try default mode and see if it’s less painful on my thighs. For me, the first world was the worst, mainly because you have a limited selection of abilities, which means you do a lot of squats and knee presses. As soon as you can mix things up, its a lot easier.

I would be glad to do planks but the tracking on those knee presses did not feel great so I am cautious. I have been taking it slow and just finished World 3

Ugh I wish I could install this directly on the Switch; I buy plenty of physical games because it's cheaper to share games amongst my clique of Switch-owning friends, but this is exactly the sort of thing that should rest in the system in perpetuity.

I got a better exercise mat so now I can plank! 5 times and then my feet slip why the gently caress is it so many reps holy poo poo. You can easily cheat though... But that defeats the entire purpose of the game!

I am not ashamed to say I sat down for a chair pose at the end of my day 2 session because god drat this game whips my rear end. Show up every day and do what you can, and don’t go so hard you can’t come back the next day. Your first week will go by and suddenly you don’t hurt so much because your body is getting better at healing itself.

Agreed, it's mildly annoying have to constantly switch carts back and forth for a daily workout. Oh well, this is what I get for going 99% physical I guess.

Had my first real day of it. Did the first stage, took a break because my joycon batteries died. Came back awhile later for stage two. Decided that even in my terrible shape I wanted a bit tougher workout so upped the difficulty from 10 to 17, finished the world. Think I need to start setting down a mat for floor exercises. Years of poor posture and a flabby untoned rear end make sitting in the right position for leg-chest presses real uncomfortable on the tailbone.

Only got about one level, so 10ish minutes in yesterday since roommates had family visiting and using the living room. The amount of squats from doing it on silent mode still enough to make my legs ache afterwards.

I bought a Switch and this for the sole purpose of losing weight. I was mulling over getting an exercise bike, but with my weight and it costing 800+ euros I thought I'd give this a try first. Haven't tried it yet, need to make room in my small gaming room. But soon.

Um does doing the defense ab guard better or worse have an effect on damage taken? I just lost to bossman from full health with a double punch that took 2 hearts each even with the guard up.

I just lost to bossman from full health with a double punch that took 2 hearts each even with the guard up. If you're even a couple levels under the recommended you're going to take a ton of damage. The window for defense is pretty tight so make sure you're upgrading outfits and keep stock on defense up smoothies.

Feels weird to have your 4 year old beg you to exercise just so she can watch you play the game. I have no idea why she enjoys it so much but it is good motiviation!

Nearing the end of world 4 and hit level 25, I really like the core exercises they have unlocked (I had been a fan of planks even before this game), also I'm especially looking forward to more yoga poses. Coincidentally I am also at difficulty 25, maybe I'll try to raise the difficulty with each level up?

Did my first day of this on Saturday and my legs are still killing me. I hate squats with my life. Planning on doing it day on/day off, at about half an hour each time. For a man who hates cardio, watching numbers go up is a weirdly more compelling reason to exercise than "Otherwise your heart will burst at forty".

Very much same for me, except that my compelling reason is watching videos of pulmonary embolism/deep vein thrombosis surgeries and realizing that holy gently caress I am going to die painfully if I don’t do something.

I'm 37 and just had a kid and that whole "uh, huh, I kinda want to be around to see this kid graduate and get married and do life things" thing. I'm definitely in the obese category, but my job is very physical just not particularly cardio-y. So I'm really strong, just fat-strong and winded easily. Quick question though, I keep hearing about squats. My knees aren't great, how hard is this game on them? I know not as hard as continuing to be 300 pounds is gonna be on them, but still, I want to lose some weight before I start doing anything to stressing on myself.

I'm definitely in the obese category, but my job is very physical just not particularly cardio-y. So I'm really strong, just fat-strong and winded easily. As a person of half that mass I can't really comment on squats vs. knees but they're a lot of work in the quads. If you have to lift heavy things you probably already squat to do so (lift with your legs!), so go off that. That said, the game does do an initial calibration on your range of motion (which I believe you can recalibrate at will). It takes a lot of motion for me to activate the high-knees or sprinting in the jogging sections, but my son was a lot less enthusiastic in his calibration and it detects those with a lot less from him. On cardio, I do think the game could use some longer levels, or with the battles lumped at the end so you spend more time on the aerobics like jogging or the twisty-abs rowing. Some sessions I'm sore but feeling good, others I'm sweating and chugging water from the cardio. I guess that's a good thing since you're supposed to vary your workouts? Anyway, get it, get fit. Make numbers go up, including your lifespan. It's a total win.

It's heaviest on squats if you're doing silent mode where you do like, quick shallow squats instead of running in place. As another near 300-ish pound goon though, I haven't had much issue with my knees beyond when I over-extended a little my first day of dynamic stretching (which to be fair was one day after walking a long distance dragging luggage). Really feeling the burn in the quads but my joints themselves have felt fine. I kind of do pretty short stretches though, like 10 minutes on the in-game timer at once, until I build up better stamina.
