FAMILY TIME
Annabel putting Ring Fit Adventure through its paces.
me is the time it takes for the
transition between exploring,
the battles and moving between
levels. Just as my heart rate was
beginning to rise, either I started
a battle which then placed
an emphasis on muscular
resistance-based training
or the level ended. For my
level of fitness at least, I really
struggled to find the gameplay
consistently challenging
enough to be a serious workout.
For me, this is no substitute
for the gym or traditional
exercise-based methodologies.
What it is, is a fantastic way to
introduce more physical activity
into your daily routine, and if
it helps even a small number
of individuals to live a less
sedentary lifestyle, then it’s a
winner in my eyes.
So, we’ve had feedback
from our very own REPs
Membership Manager, but
what does the game offer
an everyday family from a
fitness perspective?
Charlotte Galbraith and her
children Annabel (aged 9)
and Fraser (aged 5) were
given the task (treat) of
working through the levels
and testing the game with
Charlotte’s brother, Matthew
Bates.
After a comprehensive
review from adults and
children alike, Matthew had
this to say:
“Ring Fit Adventure walks
you through every step to
make sure you’re doing
movements correctly
to avoid injury and
over-exertion. It actively
suggests breaks and water
intake and gives fun facts
“
It has
colourful
worlds and
there is a
fun, bouncy
soundtrack.”
about the body, fitness
and diet.
“It offers fun exercise
gamification and looks to
cover all ages and fitness
levels. It has colourful
worlds and there is a fun,
bouncy soundtrack.
“The Ring-Con [the ring
that is held by the user] is
really sturdy, although the
leg strap can come loose
if not correctly fastened.”
