theflyingexecutive posted:Get a thick yoga mat. I’m wound pretty tight about not bugging my downstairs neighbors and a thick mat keeps all the running noise down and I am also not a small person. The game tells you to stop automatically after two full levels, so if you aren’t burned out by then, I’d turn the difficulty up. I started at 18 or so and could do three levels without a huge effort, but now that I cranked it to 26, two levels will wreck me (in a good way) and I feel like I’m not wasting time with all the smoothie making and such. Good lord, I'm at difficulty 12 and was prepared to fall over and die after doing the three stages of world 2. Not even actually fighting strangely-hot-swole-dragon again! Clock said 12 minutes but I'm pretty sure it was more like 45

I have a very weak core too, for sure. Mostly I think it's the sodding jogging and knee-raises - I always hated both, I only put up with it here out of guided necessity (and having a mat for my poor ankles)

I'm not sure I'm doing knee raises right, the game gives me full credit but I feel it more in my quads than the abdomen. Makes me think I'm messing up form, somehow?

Just finished day 9. Let me tell you it's a  feeling to be sweating and shaking so drat much and only see like "10:23" on that loving stopwatchSpeaking of which. I've always just stopped when the game suggests I do so; is that based on time moved too? (dragaux one-shot me 'cos i raised the difficulty and ab guard didn't go glowy. I blame the ringcon for that  )

theflyingexecutive posted:I find it’s best to set your difficulty where you’re just barely able to finish two levels, I think that’s what the game intends for you. Now that you mention it, I'd left the switch asleep in Ring Fit Adventure before exercise yesterday, so I didn't recalibrate at all. I'll restart the game before I have a go today, see if that helps. And good shout on that finish option - I was thinking about turning that on anyway, because aborting the exercise partway thru throws the hell out of me  by the way, when you say two levels you mean two levels, not two whole worlds... right?

Speaking of the RPG, I just got through bufflord in Sporta (that gives me a giggle ngl) and it's been a long while since I've seen a new exercise. How are those attained, by level (28)?

Today was the first day I gave up mid-fight. I'd done leg-focused exercises mostly on a whim for 10 minutes, then on to world 4 "you may only use these single-target leg exercises" i'll, uh, come back tomorrow

Does the game ever change up the opening dynamic stretches or is it always gonna be knee lift->heel lift->lunge->side-leans? More general fitness question, too. My lower body's all DOMSed out. I'm told exercising it anyway won't cause harm, but is it worth even trying to exercise that part anyway or should I just lay off 'til tomorrow?

It did focus entirely on my lower body yesterday after doing legs-lady's stage, so I guess that lines up The last few sessions I've only finished one stage before the game waves me off, at about 10 minutes moving :\ I'm plenty knackered afterward mind you, especially on an imbalanced day like yesterday, but I still wonder if I should be going for one more stage, or something. Last time I tried that I had to give up mid-fight

Rotten Red Rod posted: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. Steve Yun posted: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 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

Blackbelt Bobman posted: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 guess - thanks for the tip. It's frustrating beyond belief to have to stand there and flip the ring in my hands to get on with the workout, though.

day 69 yesterday  I'm finding that I'm having trouble with a lot of waist-bend exercises because of my gut - more specifically, the excess skin and pockets of stubborn visceral fat hanging there. Keeps me from good form and full range on overhead bends, bounces annoyingly when I jog, etc. I wonder if I actually have a legitimate excuse to get some kind of compression gear or something...

Chin Strap posted:I aimed for a fixed amount of active time. 30-45 is a good workout but you can start at 15 and slowly increase if you want. I've been 15 minutes at most before total exhaustion for almost three months now Then again I've been pretty demoralized the last couple weeks and haven't really worked out at all, anyway

Blackbelt Bobman posted:I track my workout on my Apple Watch and generally work out for about a half hour. Doesn’t always translate to the same amount of in-game time. I don’t know if I’ve ever done 30 minutes on the in-game timer that seems like a lot actually It's usually closer to 30 minutes IRL for me too, I should clarify that I'm going by the ingame timer Chin Strap posted:It also depends what difficulty number you are setting it at. Higher difficulty is going to skew the session more towards fights and gyms, lower difficulty will mean more of your active time is running the levels. And of course how much experience you've had with working out in the past. Difficulty 15 right now - right in the middle, been there almost a month. Sedentary the vast majority of my life, barring the odd gym stint, until starting Ring Fit almost 4 months ago Sidenote: Tree Pose is literally loving impossible, I cannot balance on one leg with any reliability, especially my right - let alone get my other foot onto my thigh, let alone hold the ring above my head, let alone bend. But RPG stats means it has to be there for green single target. That feels kinda bad

wide squats are for days when i particularly hate myself. normal squats, fine, but my lower body can't do that  (e) fan pose, too, for all that ever actually comes up. If my legs are out that wide, holding them so my feet point straight up is really painful, let alone the actual stretch

i mentioned not getting ab guard to someone and they told me "y'know how you suck in your gut? do that but, like, in reverse, while you're pushing the ring into it" which makes absolutely no goddamn sense as i write that sentence, but the exercise suddenly made sense the very next workout, so there you go some of the boss attacks are a tremendous pain in the
