I absolutely love this game! I'm a wheelchair user and there aren't too many games out there (that I know of) that allow disabling some of the actions that you can't physically do, so I was definitely happy with that. If you have any other suggestions of games I could try out to try and keep in shape (since, as you probably know, being in a wheelchair makes it that much harder to burn that energy) I'd love to hear 'em! Thanks for the great videos!
Glad you enjoy it, and I'm so glad that the options are there to enable you to play! Accessbility is so important! Have you seen the Ring Fit Adventure accessbility options?
@@MasterTrainerPeter I'm looking closely at the ringfit! I've seen a few people say once the leg assist was activated, there wasn't all that much to do with it, but I'm honestly pretty curious to try it for myself and see if there's more ways to adapt play! I'll let you know if I try it out!
@@zerasuprime I have that game and I have used it regularly and yes you can turn things off or if you use the personal workout modes just avoid doing certain exercises.

hey I know your comment is old but on the 3rd they released active life outdoor challenge which uses the leg strap and on the 28th they’re releasing knockout home fitness which is supposed to utilize more of your body than fitness boxing, hope this helps :)
Thanks for the update! I'm definitely enjoying playing it with a mix of Ring Fit for upper and lower body training / stamina. A friend uses a weighted vest to add more difficulty; are there any "accessories" you would recommend that could add more beneficial difficulty to the game to keep it physically engaging?? Thanks and keep up the awesome work 😃
Sounds great! A weighted vest is a great call as it evenly distributes the weight across the body. I'm not a fan of wrist weights for high dynamic movements like in FB2, but that being said, if you're comfortable with them, then go for it. Generally I shy away from accessories and push further with endurance and volume in workouts, albeit thats kinda tough in game
Master Trainer Peter, do you think the 9 minute warmup/cooldown is worth doing? I've been opening my workouts with that one (and turning them off for my Daily Workout) and it's significantly more robust. If you're not familiar with it, go to the general/practice exercises (I think it's second from the top on the main menu) and then the bottom right is, I think they call it "Extensive Warmup" If there's some reason that it isn't worth doing I'll probably scrap warmups completely on both this and Ring Fit and just do one from a video or app until I learn more about making one for myself.
Whilst the 9 minute warm up is better, there is still an overt focus on static holds for the warm up which have been shown to be ineffective as a warm up method. You could just do dynamic versions of those stretches during that same time frame, which would be much more suitable.
I love this game :) I’ve also been doing it everyday since Dec 4 launch. I find the streak feature very motivating and the randomized daily workout keeps it interesting. I think Janice has the best voice acting and never change trainers lol
I found out that the game really appreciates it when you do some kind of "BAM" move with the joy cons. That totally makes sense for every sort of punch, but it counts for defensive movements and steps as well which feels kind of weird sometimes. So for example when I weave, I imagine hitting something below me with my fists, when doing a block, something above me and so on. It might not be a 100% correct movement all the time (but overall, I feel a lot of improvement) and it might be a little cheesy, but it keeps me more motivated to see a flashing "Perfect" on the screen rather than a "Miss". I had to turn on the assist for the stepping movements though since my neighbors for some reason don't appreciate fast, almost-jumping movements from a chubby guy like me.
Got the game last night and love it. Day 2 was the real first day and I had such a satisfying workout. Worked up a good sweat in the comfort of my bedroom! Gonna do my best to commit to this and I like that you can even set alarms. Been wanting to get back on track with getting in shape and losing weight. Been mainly just walking at least a mile every day for exercise since my routine got disrupted. So I think this’ll be a huge addition for me. Of course weight loss is all about dieting. Gotta get back to intermittent fasting, that did wonders for me.
I don’t have a problem with it being “repetitive” because doing real boxing at a gym does have some repetitive parts to it. I mean it is what it is and acceptance is the key. 😅
Hi Master Trainer Peter. Yesterday, I got the "center duck" movement in my sets for the first time. It just killed my legs! I was still able to finish the daily workout despite what happened because it was only the first set that included it, but I can still feel it. Even today, when I try and bend my knees, I can still feel some pain above them on both legs. I didn't do FB2 this morning because I thought to rest them today instead, but I'm surprised this is happening because I bike. I guess, this is a completely different movement though. Why is this? Should I be worried? And thanks for these videos!
1:15 Guilty; I find myself doing that a lot too. 😅 3:59 Same here--I too got knee pain while playing. At first it was the right knee that bothered me, but it stopped after about a week and a half. Now it's the left one that hurts, and it still hasn't healed after nearly a month now. My hips are starting to get sore, too. I guess I'm still not quite used to moving them so much. But maybe they'll get better as I get stronger over time. I'd love for them to add DLCs for more music, backgrounds, and outfits, perhaps some jewelry or more swimsuit colors and styles. I think that would add even more variety and motivation to this game!
Been consistent for 4 days man I'm sore...lol my heels and legs took some work when the game started adding ducking into my routines...it definitely feels effective as a mobility exercise tool
I am in day 10 and have just unlocked the defensive exercises, I am fine punching but having difficulty is ducking in a way the game recognises, any tips? thanks
I'll be getting to 90 days in a few days. I only missed 1 day because of getting sick, immediately after reaching the 50 day streak. I've been sticking almost exclusively with the daily 38 minute full body endurance workout. I haven't felt any boredom except for when I do the low workouts as one came up today when I decided to do a 48 minute workout, or accidentally when I do a free exercise because I'm not used to setting up the all the options. I hope they can offer a free workout with the music and background automatically set to random because I'd rather just get to the exercise part. A few years ago I joined a boxing gym for about a month. Super fun but couldn't fit it in my life unfortunately. Even with a trainer I couldn't do hooks and uppercuts very well. They felt uncoordinated and there was no power behind them. After about a month with FB2, they began to feel fluid and I can now I really put my whole body into them without losing balance in both stances. Oh, I also have Ringfit, which I do in the evenings. I did a bit of adventure mode first then did your kickstart at level 2 which I just finished last week. I used BF2 for last 2 RF cardio days. I'm back to adventure mode for now. The 2 games and cutting some sugar down have lost me almost 6 kilos so far. I hope to lose 6-8 more to reach my target weight.
Played 1 and 2 with DLC’s. Game can be alittle challenging but for those with experience it’s most easy. I conquered this game in the hardest difficulty nonstop and am now thinking of playing the fist of the North Star version. But like you said it gets boring. I ended up buying a heavy bag and applied those drills on it (100LBS). Now that’s a workout punching at actual something with your hardest effort. Always wanted to be a boxer, wrestler, or a black belt in karate but I grew up from being poor and unfortunate. I didn’t learn diddly squat until I became a Marine.
I like to use RFA for my core and body sculpting and follow it up with FB2 for cardio. I have admit that ever since I started mixing the two games, I've noticed significant gains in terms of bulk and improved cardio stamina. I haven't lost any weight since I started though, but I look a lot more fit.
Unfortunately I didn't get an answer to what I was looking for, which is if you actually lost some weight with it or if you saw any form on your body from doing it. Also, I understand that the warm up and cool down stretches are pretty basic and boring, but stretching is definitely important so I recommend doing both the before and after.
You missed the point of my problem with the stretching; you should do dynamic stretching beforehand as it is better for the joints, tendons and ligaments, and then do static stretching after to assist with flexibility. Stretching is definitely important, but doing a static stretch before a workout does little to nothing effective for your muscles and in certain cases can create more problems. So Fitness Boxing using the same stretch routine before and after isnt effective. Did you really think I was saying to not to stretch? To your first point, I didnt, but then I wasnt trying to lose weight with the game. You need to be eating in a caloric deficit to lose weight, and I wasnt, I was at maintenance calories. The aerobic nature of the exercise will definitely assist you in weight loss as long as you're in that deficit. Hope that answers your question.
I bought the game a few weeks ago because of your videos and honestly quite enjoy playing it. Sometimes I am getting frusted because moves are not being registered, but overall its a fun game I am enjoying after work. The workout feels a lot shorter compared to the crosstrainer I have used before. Staring at a wall isnt as fun after all. But lately I was wondering if the training is as effective or less effective than using the crosstrainer and if I should switch between them every now and then. (Working two jobs I dont have the time or energy doing both.)
I'd definitely swap between them; cross trainers provide more effective movement for the legs, and so they are fairly different workouts. Mixing it up is a great way to see better results, and keep you more occupied!
Litterally just bought this game less than 10 minutes ago. Cant wait to play it Out of curiosity, do you have any recommendations for routines that involve Fitness Boxing and Ring Fit? Like your kickstart program, but using both games?
I have just started the game, it's annoying, the preview and training is a way too long, I don't have time for it.... it looks there's no way to skip that cr@^
Their is def a big diversity when it comes to quality of voice lines i find voices like martina and janice and even sophie to be best and motivating with clear and concise voice lines and voices like lin evan and a couple others feels robotic and stale which can really make you bored out of your mind esp when u have to go for those 100 points for best friends it can be extremely tiring. I would 100% consider sticking with better voice line trainers for a while and exercising with them til u get all punch achievements and stamps then cheese the lesser exciting characters until you max out this will help u stick with it longer without ya wanting to kill yourself.
@@MasterTrainerPeter absolutely: I did a couple of weeks without, then I started with 1,5kg/wrist for a month or so and now I’m using 3kg/wrist. The in-game personal trainer doesn’t know, however, so I don’t get credit for it :(
I'd argue the other way around. This game teaches you the very, very basics of boxing. Once you're familiar with terminology/stances, going under instruction to pursue better boxing would be better. Going to a gym to learn how to throw a punch for a video game (when the motion control may not even register with a proper punch) is a waste of resources. Its essentially like a boxercise class. The action is more important that proper, proper technique for what this game is trying to achieve.
I absolutely love this game! I'm a wheelchair user and there aren't too many games out there (that I know of) that allow disabling some of the actions that you can't physically do, so I was definitely happy with that.

Hi. You still play?
I found out that the game really appreciates it when you do some kind of "BAM" move with the joy cons. That totally makes sense for every sort of punch, but it counts for defensive movements and steps as well which feels kind of weird sometimes. So for example when I weave, I imagine hitting something below me with my fists, when doing a block, something above me and so on. It might not be a 100% correct movement all the time (but overall, I feel a lot of improvement) and it might be a little cheesy, but it keeps me more motivated to see a flashing "Perfect" on the screen rather than a "Miss". I had to turn on the assist for the stepping movements though since my neighbors for some reason don't appreciate fast, almost-jumping movements from a chubby guy like me.
So do you feel like this game can teach you how to defend yourself???
@@ramdomgiltter5590 Not at all. It is not what this game is supposed to do.

gamers also need to eat healthy.. less calorie to loose weight..

Just standard boxing. Theres leg movement, but no kicking.
