Ring Fit Adventure 15 Ways To Maximize Your Custom Workouts
Tired of Ring Fit Adventure's... adventure? Try out these tips to get the most out of the Custom Workout mode. What started out as a fun little workout game has now become a quarantine must-have. Of course, we're talking about the Switch title . The game became a huge hit once everyone was locked inside and out of gyms. One mode that you can play is Custom Workout, which allows you to craft a workout of your own using all of the exercise options available in-game. This list will highlight ten ways to maximize those custom workouts. Updated April 21st, 2021 by Stephen LaGioia: The sedentary nature of 2020's lockdowns and semi-lockdowns has led gamers and non-gamers alike to seek and get in shape from home. Nintendo's Ring Fit Adventure has been a godsend for many as it's offered a platform to do just that. As the game has aged, more players have completed the and have sought to mix things up with the Custom Workout mode. Those who seek even more ways to get the most out of this nifty game mode — look no further. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Fill Out Each Custom Playlist Available
Of course, playlists can be altered and tinkered with whenever players see fit. Still, it's probably a good idea to fill out each of the 20 custom playlists offered fairly early on. And be sure to mix these up so they're not too similar. This variety should add some incentive by keeping the game feeling fresh. At the same time, it'll also help to target various muscle groups and burning calories in different ways. Having all these unique lists ready to go will make one's workout more efficient, more appealing, and easier to manage. Dial Up The Difficulty
One neat aspect of these custom workouts is the level of customization involved. This includes the difficulty and amount of reps. Make a point to bump up the reps when confident enough to do so — and dial up the difficulty for minigames and rhythm games to "Advanced." It might be a good idea to isolate easier playlists, and creating separate ones that include tougher, lengthier workouts. These can then be targeted on days you're aiming for more intense exercise. Escalate The Reps In Each Playlist
Workouts are usually most effective when there's a sense of escalation in terms of intensity and difficulty. So it naturally makes sense to create this ramping up of difficulty within certain playlists. Though it makes sense to keep some consistent, make a point to steadily increase the number of reps and difficulty with every set or two within a single playlist. Then, create a sort of "cool-down" by bringing it back down with some easier, shorter sets for the last two or three in the list. Emphasize Abs And Squats
The Ring-Con is pretty resilient and can really induce a sweat, to be sure. Still, it's actually the ones that minimize its use that can ironically be most impactful. These usually include exercises that revolve around squats and ab crunches or planks of some sort. The toughness and efficiency is because these workouts target the largest muscle groups, being the abs and quads. Of course, arm exercises and even yoga poses can be effective, but it's a good idea to emphasize these groups. Even playlists that don't emphasize these areas could benefit from a couple of leg or ab sets sprinkled in. Shoot For A High Score
One of the cool aspects of Ring Fit Adventure is that it offers a great workout in the form of an entertaining game. A good part of this characteristic stems from its scoring system. As such, it makes sense to strive for high scores more often than not. Not only does it add incentive to replay sets, but it also gives more of a game-like feel and offers a fun challenge. Try to land more and more "greats" when doing reps, and shoot for "S" ranks when possible. The game saves personal bests, enticing players to keep fighting to topple it and display an even more impressive score on the board. Set One For Each Part Of The Body
One of the best ways to get the most out of Custom Workouts is to focus an entire set to a specific part of the body. Make a leg set, an arm set, an ab set, and a chest set. Players can make these through what the game recommends, or put together their own list. Focusing on one part of the body during each set will max out how much can be gotten out of each set. Break Them Up With Rhythm Games
One of the best additions to Ring Fit Adventure is . Set to either the game's soundtrack or a few classic Nintendo hits, The rhythm games allow players to get a workout in while bopping around to one's favorite Nintendo hits. It doesn't hurt to switch out the songs every once in a while to mitigate boredom and to target a different part of the body depending on the set being done. Players can also make their rhythm romps tougher after unlocking the Super Advanced mode, which can be added to custom playlists as well. Do A Running Day
Ann Perkins put it best when she asked Chris Traeger "at what cost" in regards to running. But, when it comes to basic exercising, running tends to burn the most calories. Make sure to capitalize on that fact when creating Ring Fit Adventure sets. One way to do this is by creating one set that is all about running. Players can do a ton of different courses to keep things interesting, but running is going to burn those calories, so make sure to use that set frequently to keep in tip-top shape. Or A Little Running Every Day
If you don't want to make a set centered on running, then add a few running sessions into each set, two would be a good number to throw into the mix. There are plenty of different running sessions that target different parts of the body, so make sure to use that type of running in order to continue working the correct part of the body that one's set is focused on. Do Multiple Sets A Day
via: youtube.com (Chiritsu) Sets don't actually last all that long, maybe 15 minutes when factoring the time in between exercises and stretching. For those looking to get a good workout in, doing more than one set will push the player a bit harder. Two is a good number that will get one's workout to around 40-50 minutes depending on how quickly one moves. If doing more than one set a day, make sure to skip the closing stretch and opening stretch in the middle. Switch The Settings Up While Running
One of the nice things that Custom Workouts allows a player to do is change the time of day in . This isn't all that big of a feature, of course, but it can help to keep things interesting. Running at different times of the day can make things feel different, and can totally change up the vibe of the workout. Who doesn't love an evening stroll every once in a while? Players can even get creative by filling out the list with morning, midday, evening, and night jogs in order — to give an organic sense of progression. Do A Yoga Day
Another way to utilize is by adding in a yoga set to the rotation, or even two, if you're up for it. This can help to break things up in between regular workouts, along with, well, giving all the benefits that yoga is known for! Need to work on balance a little bit? Maybe get that core engaged? Yoga will do just that! Add In Minigames
Another great part of Ring Fit Adventure is . These games are still workouts, of course, but they're much more game-oriented as opposed to being a regular old workout. These can help to break up one's sessions a bit, and hopefully help one forget that this is in fact a workout. Who wants to remember that? Double Up On Your Favorites
One doesn't have to be totally rigid with . Do you have a favorite day? Leg day is fun, right? Who doesn't love leg day? Well, there's no reason not to double up on the preferred part of the body to workout. Add in a second leg set somewhere a bit later in the list. This allows the player to target the part of the body they want to work — and some new exercises can be tried for good measure, too! Max Out Your Reps
Those who are ready for it should 100% max out the rep counts for all sessions in their sets. Maxing out the rep count is, of course, going to provide the best workout possible, and doing anything less is doing oneself an injustice. This is all, of course, if it's in the cards physically. If you're new to working out, do not push your body harder than it can go. Take your time, you know your body best.
