When I was 21, almost 12 years ago now ugh, I was 315lbs. Wii Fit came out and made exercising fun for me and helped me lose 120lbs over the course of 9 months. Flash forward to today, over the last year thanks to some changes like a new job that has me sitting around instead of getting nearly 18k steps a 8 hour workday and also a lack of motivation to hit up the gym I have put back on about 40 of that. Ugh. So when I saw Nintendo was once again trying to revolutionize the workout video game, and this time it was in the form of an rpg, I figured what the hell maybe this is what I need to get back on track. Have been using it for 11 days now and have already lost 10lbs (probably mostly water weight with it being early stages but still). Between the fun aspect of the game which even has me actively doing squats, one of the exercises I’ve always hated most, and not minding as long as I beat the monsters I’m squared off against. And also the results on the scale, I once again feel motivated and even when I get off my 10 hour overnight shift and am exhausted I still can’t wait to log in some time on this game and get my workout in. Thank you Nintendo, you’ve once again have me motivated and on my way to getting back on track
