For those of you who are unfamiliar, Ring Fit Adventure blends working out and the RPG genre together by utilizing an adjustable workout ring that you can slide the joy-cons into. Sounds funky, right? Well, do not cast judgment just on the sound or look because I have heard from peers that this thing can surely kick your butt if you want it too.
I am glad to see that people out there are utilizing this time to get or stay in shape. I know I have certainly gained a few lbs during this quarantine, but I am sure we all have. But if you haven't, please tell me your secret. I would love to know.
