•Ring Fit Adventure

This is the perfect game for those who want a more traditional gaming experience while also getting a workout. To quote Nintendo, you’ll “Explore a huge fantastical world and defeat enemies using real-life exercises!” Those exercises include jogging in place as you travel from one place to the next, doing overhead shoulder presses to battle monsters and striking some yoga poses to refill your health meter. You can choose between short missions or a long adventure, depending on what kind of workout you’re looking for. If you want to get your hands on Ring Fit Adventure it’s best to move fast, as it tends to sell-out quickly.
