JHVH-1 posted:I think my last session ended around that same part. At first, I would lightly hold the top of the ring with one of my hands to stabilize it. Eventually I just kind of got a feel for it and that wasn't necessary anymore. It helps to do a couple of test squeezes while you're getting into position to make sure it feels squared away.

I hold it between my thighs instead of my knees, and I wear shorts so that it's gripping skin instead of fabric, and I haven't had an issue - except for once when it shot out of my legs, squarely hit my water glass, and narrowly missed dousing my Switch in water. I'm careful where I put my water now.

I struggled with the thigh press for a while too, but here’s what works for me pretty reliably now: always squeeze more than you think you need. When you’re in “neutral” position, preparing to start the thigh press? You should already be squeezing significantly. Then when it tells you to squeeze, squeeze hard

Then when it tells you to squeeze, squeeze hard Thigh Press is one exercise where I think Tipp's demo is a little off. I do both of these - I hold it between my thighs, about a third up from the knee to the crotch; and when I squeeze, I squeeze as firmly and quickly as I can without letting myself bounce at either end, much moreso than other exercises For balance I also orient the ring perpendicular to where it's at on my legs, instead of vertically like Tipp seems to have it. Not sure if this affects the exercise or not, but it holds pretty steady now and very much works the bits the graphic points to

The thigh press should be just on the inside of your knees. Hold the controller part of the ring with one hand if you need. Don’t lean back too much, just enough that it engages your core. I feel like squeezing the ring with it too close to your body would have a bad effect like if you ride a bike with the seat too low. Burns out your muscles because you aren’t doing a full motion.

I brace my back against the bed that is behind where I play, and place my hands in front of the ring. They don’t actually hold it at all, so there’s no interfering with my legs being in full control, but it’s a safety blanket against the fling.

I finally got a perfect score on Bootstrap Tower: Novice yesterday. You literally have to do everything perfectly to make it all the way to the end and even then you only have a second or two to spare. We shall see if I can do it on Advanced. I hadn’t exercised for several days and then yesterday I did a squat-heavy level and used wide squats and oh my god, my legs. Whyyyyyy?

I beat the arm guys parachute thing yesterday. The day before I tried twice and I guess I was making bigger movements than I needed. It was annoying me because I wanted to complete it but physically hurting lol Landing the last drop is a big points thing and I missed it my first tries which didn’t help.

I think I was making movements too big also, but sitting down I had to check myself against the back of the chair and it helped out. Normally arm stuff doesn't bother me that much, but that one got to me.

Never played this as much as I hoped because I didn’t have a good space for it but we recently moved to a much bigger space and I turned the guest room into my Ring Fit/Bike trainer suffer room. Planks are killing me right now because my core is weak and flabby, but excited to actually stick to this for more than a week now that I have a dedicated space for it.

Started this yesterday, got a bit of an odd question. I got this game because I don't have access to my regular workout equipment right now (kettlebells) but was still planning on working it into my regular routine once I got back home in a few months. For reference I'm at the simple part of the simple and sinister kettlebell routine (32kg kettlebell for 10x10 swings and 5 Turkish getups per side), and I usually do it 6 days a week. I started RFA yesterday at difficulty 13 and pushed it up to 25 today, planning on trying 30 tomorrow. Would it be worth it to do kettlebells 3 days a week and on the other 3 days do an hour or so of RFA, or would that not be worth it compared to just bells? Or would that be a question more suited for ylls? Either way the game is pretty fun, I'm definitely a number go up for good brain chemical sort of person so I definitely see myself sticking with it consistently.

It's not going to be any better or worse. The right exercise is the one you enjoy doing consistently. I'd say mixing Ring Fit with days of a weighted strength-training exercise is a good idea, since Ring Fit is purely body weight and more focused on cardio - and doing a varied routine tends to produce better results than doing the same one every day. Or at least reduces muscle exhaustion and likely increases gains.

Is there an optimal distance you should be at for the joycons to sense your movements? The game seems to randomly stop/stutter sensing me the past couple of days when it didn't before and I'm wondering if it's because I'm standing too close/far from the switch.

Warrior III is incredibly difficult since the key to balancing is keeping your gaze focused on a fixed point and of course you can’t do that in the pose. My advice would be to stabilize yourself in the starting position first then take it very slow while moving your gaze along a fixed path, like it were on a track if that makes sense. You’ll get it with more practice.

I find those poses easier to do when I'm not on my thick rear end yoga mat, just helps my balance.

I picked this up planning to use it as an alternative to running outside when the weather's bad - I am not in horrible shape (my normal go-to is a 5k jog, although I've all but abandonded my dumbbell routine) but it's pretty humbling how much 10 minutes of having this stupid ring shouting at me is kicking my arse. I binged through the first showdown with the dragon in my first session then put it off for a week, barely made it through the first level of World 2. My calves are killing me now, can barely walk down the stairs. Is there a good YouTube source recommended for form? I feel like the included outline dude isn't clear enough for a lot of them. Any other general tips as far as pacing, etc are very welcome.

You get the form eventually, the only ones that are a bit challenging are some of the yoga poses. As far as pacing... Whatever you can handle. Pay attention to the in-game exercise timer, and set a limit for yourself daily to keep from wearing out. It'll be different for everyone, but I found 15-20 minutes daily is the sweet spot for me.

The difficulty setting it keeps bugging you about will also tweak the amount of reps. I increased mine because I felt like it was good but not as challenging after I got to like level 50, but then I unlocked the ab stuff where you are laying down like flutter kicks and whatever and after a few sets of those I could barely get through the end of them. So I guess I need to work those muscles more but it also was giving me more reps at the same time.

No matter what there's going to be exercises that are going to be way easier and harder than others. You could cheese the game by filling your skills with yoga poses and things like arm twist and arm spin, but then what would even be the point of playing? That said, I will never put mountain climbers or any of the alternate squats on my set skills. Never.

It sucks when they're in the gyms and you get a point value!

The two that I can’t really figure out are boat pose and leg scissors. Boat pose if I look up a yoga video (which is stationary) and Tipp’s picture they’re sitting upright on their butt. Ring tells you specifically not to touch your back to the floor. I can’t extend backwards without rolling more on the small of my back. I still feel the exercise and like it but feel like I’m doing something wrong. Leg scissors just doesn’t track at all no matter how I adjust the leg strap. I’m not very flexible and can’t get my legs that wide but it doesn’t seem to matter. It came up in a fitness gym and I was getting 4s and 10s, stopped to adjust the leg strap and it registered like 5 100s in a row while I wasn’t moving at all. Stupid exercise and I hate it.

I dunno about leg scissors because that's never given me problems but boat pose you should just try and keep your upper back off the floor using your abs while your arms keep moving back, while your legs extend as a counterweight. Then you kinda crunch back in reverse order, your arms coming forward, then your legs and upper body coming back up.
