Finally, 1,462 days of January have passed. Most likely, you have already canceled the subscription to the gym you hired in the midst of the “New Year, New Yo”, and that the idea of running, at least in most of the northern hemisphere, it seems like a masochist . If this is your case, there are more like you, some studies show that about 20% of those who begin to go to the gym in January leave it after a monthand only a few 22% continue to go after one year. But what if you didn’t have to go to the gym? What if you could compensate for the excesses of the parties playing in a game console?
If you move the idea of sitting on the couch playing Mario Kart While you eat Nachos, the bad news is that this specific strategy will not work. Sorry, but staying in shape is not easy. However, I have spent the last two months incorporating into my usual routine the Exergames (Exercise video games), and the results have been as promising as surprising.
Before sharing my secret: I am not a qualified professional or nutritionist, so you will have to look elsewhere. What follows is simply my personal experience; If your objectives are specific, seek professional advice. That said, let’s enter into matter.
Heating
It turns out that writing about video games and technology is not the most active race. In addition, after the Covid-19 pandemic, I never returned to my regular exercise routine: the intermittent gym subscription and semi-regular swimming sessions. Almost without realizing it, I got to weigh 105 kilograms. However, it was not until the spring of 2024 when I received the news that would change my life completely: I practiced routine blood analysis, they showed that my hemoglobin A1C, the measure of the average levels of blood glucose in the blood of the three months Previous, I placed me in pre -deiable territory.
My immediate reaction was: “Roundly no.” I was encouraged to return to the gym, at first I focused on cardiovascular exercises before incorporating weightlifting sessions. I got to go three times a week, in addition to focusing on the diet: I eliminated the tente, I drank less alcohol and controlled my caloric intake. I lost 17 kilos at the beginning of December 2024, at the end, I reached 88 kg. An excellent process towards the objective of 85 kilos that my doctor had recommended me. Unfortunately, I realized that I had stagnated; The same routine that had taken me so far no longer seemed to “take me so far.”
This is where video games enter. Years before, I had bought a copy of Ring Fit Adventure For Nintendo Switch. At that time, I thought about buying it out of curiosity, I love extravagant video games and thought that their Pilates style ring and JRPG -style shift fight (Japanese role -play game) would make an interesting experience. I had kept it in a box, almost new, unopened. Now I looked at him on my shelf with a half thought: “Well, if video games put me in this mess, they could help me out, right?” I decided to try it. For a month, it would incorporate additional exercises with Ring Fit Adventure The days that were not the gym, leaving one day a week to rest, all while I continued with my diet plan. After that month, I would weigh to rule if the games could really push me out of my comfort area. Much of the trial period took place in December and during the holidays, so Spoiler: Neither of the two points came out as planned, but still obtained positive results.
