Having played this for the past two days and my legs are still sore, think I'm gonna not do adventure mode today and just do some arm exercises in quickplay.

Game's really fun though, splitting up the standing exercises/cardio is great for not feeling like you're gonna die, and the guided warm up and cool down stretches feel helpful. I definitely don't do that enough when I exercise on my own

Alright, I’ll put Adventure Mode off until my thighs recover cause jesus. I suspect that I’m doing Silent Mode jogging wrong. Or maybe right, cause the last time I felt like this in my thighs is when I was doing squat weight training.

Honestly, you might just be doing it right. When I started my legs hurt for like three or four days after, but now I'm ok playing for longer than I did that first time. It's gonna suck at first, but just take your time and wait until a muscle stops being sore before you exercise it again.

I was doing fine today until I hit the "leg gym" in world 5.

My thought process went something like this:

Oh hey, mountain climbers! Didn't know this game had those, that's cool. Wonder when I unlock that mo-OH GOD NO MY LEGS :gonk:

Decided I was done for the day after that, lol

This game won't even let me attempt planks, I get into the starting position and just stay there and it won't register?
I've tried moving the thigh strap but it didn't seem to help, is there some way I can test out exercises out of combat?

Try keeping your legs very still? I noticed if I was moving them at all it wouldn't let me start, since that's how the game calibrates where your starting position is.

You should also be able to try individual exercises in the custom exercise mode from the main menu, but I haven't tried it so I'm not exactly sure how it works

I kept them as still as I could.
Man that attack looks so good, too bad I can't use it ):

If it's any consolation, I think I was somehow doing them wrong because I managed to give myself rugburn (yoga mat burn?) on my elbows after two days of using planks

How?
I don't think your elbows are supposed to move, are you using like a super rough mat?

Honestly I'm not sure, I didn't think I was moving my elbows and the mat's pretty soft. Gonna be more careful next time I do planks, but so far I've been taking a break from them.

does this game have multiple profiles for my girlfriend and I to go through the campaign separately?

Yeah, all you need to do is make another user account on the Switch for your gf if she doesn't already have one, then it'll track everything separately

When do you get Planks and what style is the exercise?

I've done planks in the past and I'm trying to conceive of this whole rug burn issue

You get them by levelling up iirc, probably around world 4?

And the actual exercise is: going into a plank position and then lifting your hips up and holding it, then going down as one rep

I need to bump the difficulty I think, I pushed through multiple "maybe you should take a break" notifications today just because I wasn't even sweating.

This happened to me and then a few levels + swapping out skills later I found myself wanting to move the difficulty back down because the exercises I was doing were waaay harder. I really like how non-judgemental the game is about doing that

I just did a boss fight where, after doing Wide Squats, the game made me defend against a powerful leg attack by...holding a wide squat for a looong time. I thought my legs were going to burst into flames but somehow I made it out ok

I can never get it to recognize my starting position for planks unless I put my legs all the way on the ground. If I'm understanding it right, you're supposed to be balanced on your forearms and toes and off the ground with the rest of your body, but I literally have to fall flat on the ground before it does the little countdown to let me start.

The game is waiting for you to keep your leg still, if it's moving too much it won't start the countdown because that's how it calibrates what your starting position is
