The current Ms Troubleatmill has suggested a games console type thing - ( eg a modern version of a Wii ) - that can get us off the sofa - and start to get us fit.


Recommendations from the populous please.


Thank you in advance.

If you want to get fit in front of the TV - Joe Wicks
If you want to get fit outside - get a wahoo heart rate monitor and run the wahoo fitness app on your phone while you run/walk/cycle etc.

In terms of a games console there is no modern equivalent of the Wii with Wii fit, there is still a healthy market for them on eBay especially in the current lockdown

You can try RingFit on the Switch, but I agree with the other poster, stick to Joe Wicks or get walking outside.

Have you got apple watches and an iPad / iPhone? Apple fitness plus.

The games console fitness things are a bit too novelty in my opinion.

We've got the ringfit thing for
the Switch, we have a fun inter family competition going on but to be honest it's probably not worth the money, I always don't kettle bells before and after as I don't think the ring fit is anything like a proper workout.

If you've got the willpower to jig about infront of a console, you may as well jig about in front of Joe Wicks.

I’ve just got an Oculus Quest 2 and there a few fitness games/apps for that. Playing table tennis and boxing got my heart rate up.

Has no one come up with a VR version of Call of Duty where you're running on a treadmill yet?
