Most of the options here are exclusive to the Nintendo Switch , which has been the dominant platform for workout games since the massive success of Wii Fit.
Ring Fit Adventure is undoubtedly the best fitness game on the market today, and it became highly sought-after in due to the pandemic, when many people began looking for at-home workout alternatives. Though it was hard to find in stock for some time, Ring Fit Adventure is now much easier to find at most retailers, and it's even getting some nice discounts recently.
Nintendo's hit workout game is a fitness-themed RPG where you team up with a sentient pilates ring to track down and defeat an evil body-building dragon called Dragaux. Available only as a physical set, Ring Fit Adventure includes a Ring-Con used to perform its strength exercises as you fight enemies, row through rivers, zip-line through the sky, and more.
You also get a nice cardio workout from jogging in place through its colorful landscapes. Still, if you're looking for a game to get you moving indoors, you can't do better than Ring Fit Adventure. While Ring Fit Adventure is certainly the flagship fitness game of the Nintendo Switch, it's not the only Switch game that delivers a solid workout from home.
A sequel to 's Fitness Boxing, Fitness Boxing 2 is a rhythm game that doubles as a fitness video game, as you twist and punch along to the beat of modern pop songs.
If you never played the first game, Fitness Boxing 2 is probably the one to pick up as it does add new trainers, songs, and other minor improvements, but it's mostly more of the same. Still, you'll probably have an easier time finding Fitness Boxing 2 in stock and on sale due to how new it is. While it may seem to work only your arm muscles, boxing is a full-body workout that also targets your abs, legs, and shoulders; plus, it's a fantastic cardio workout that'll get your heart pumping fast.
Nintendo's Fitness Boxing is a great intro to the exercise for those who are stuck inside. The Switch game teaches you how to perform key moves like jabs, hooks, and uppercuts, which each has their own symbol that'll appear on-screen during a song. You'll have to perform these moves to the correct beat of the song, and there's no skimping either--if you don't maintain proper form with your punches, the game will call you out indicating that your punch missed or was only "OK" rather than "Perfect".
You'll also have to throw some force into your punches for them to count--no half-hearted movements. While its song list leaves something to be desired, Fitness Boxing 2 gets the job done.
Its boxing sessions are satisfying and appropriately intense, and you can even customize your workouts, selecting which areas you want the workout to focus on and how long it will last. You don't need any equipment for Fitness Boxing beyond your standard Joy-Cons, and there's also a free demo with three days of workouts you can try out before buying.
The Just Dance series has been around since and continues to be a fun way to burn calories, break a sweat, and improve your flexibility. The newest game in the franchise, Just Dance , released in November , adding 40 new tracks from artists like Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, and Blackpink.
The motion-based dancing game focuses on following choreography to hit songs. While you can play Just Dance alone, the game also allows for multiple players.
Using either motion controllers like the Switch's Joy-Cons or your own smartphone with the Just Dance Controller app, players mirror the on-screen dancers' movements and score points based on accuracy. Each version of the game has its own collection of songs.
And while I eventually got tired of the songs that came with the base game, I found it worthwhile to upgrade to Just Dance Unlimited to access more music. The subscription-based service lets you choose from a library of over songs, including songs from previous games and new exclusives. Just Dance isn't the only dance workout available on Nintendo Switch. Zumba: Burn It Up released in November , offering Switch players an intro to the hugely popular Latin-inspired dance workout.
Zumba incorporates upbeat music and choreographed dances, but you don't need to be a great dancer or have perfect rhythm; this workout is just about moving your body and having fun.
Still, it's a fantastic cardio workout that also works your core and boosts flexibility. Zumba: Burn It Up brings the exercise dance party to your living room with over 30 songs from artists like Cardi B, Ciara, and more. Watch others experiencing Wii Fit for the first time!
