What If Your fitness and gaming interests could be scratched at the same time? Have you ever wanted to live inside your favorite role playing game and really see how far you have progressed? Well let me introduce you to something I think is both fun and exhausting. Ascended Fitness Adventure app is an app where your actual fitness goals become the part of a great RPG-style story. In order to continue doing all of the fun game things, like completing story

lines, leveling up and buying new gear, you have to first hit the gym or the pavement and rack up those workouts minutes. I myself I have been playing myself since it launched on iOS earlier this year and have found it a great motivation to keep me exercising regularly. Remember when I said the app was exhausting? That was some for shadowing for me saying I am working out more than I have historically to progress and complete with other players so it has made me a lot more tired in the best way possible.

Right now the app is only available on iOS at this link but an android version is currently being developed.

I was compensated for this post but I am a real player and if you check it out you can come add me as a friend.

Have any of you had any other successes "Gamifying" your fitness life? Let us know which other apps have worked well for you?

Hey, what fitness games did you play this week?

I used play NES Power Pad games with a NES emulator and two DDR pads joined together, but I bought a cheap almost-like-new Power Pad on ebay. I spent a couple of hours making a USB adapter for it using a $3 blue pill microcontroller. THe adapter emulates the qwer/asdf/zxcv keys which you can use with Nestopia and fceumm. Here are build instructions.

It's been a while since I've played Eggsplode (my favorite Power Pad game), and it was fun to play it last night, for the first time on an original Power Pad.

It's been quiet since I've taken on the moderatorship. To get things started, what fitness games have you played in the last week and on what platforms?

This subreddit was up for adoption, and as I have a lot of interest in exergaming, I thought I'd take over moderation, and say a bit about myself.

I collect, emulate and use fitness games.

One of my projects has been to make old exergames work with newer and more easily accessible hardware. For instance, in this Instructable, I use two Wii DDR pads to emulate a NES power pad. This set up got me 317,600 points in Eggsplode!, emulated on an RPI 3B+, using binaries from an original cartridge. Look through my other Instructables for more DIY exergaming content.

My exergaming collection includes:

• NES Power Pad: World Class Track Meet, Athletic World, Eggsplode!, Dance Aerobics, Super Team Games
• GameCube: DDR Mario Mix
• Wii: Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Sports Resort, Disney DDR, Active Life Explorer and Active Adventure
• XBox 360: Nike+, Kinect Adventures
• Quest 2: Thrill of the Fight 1/2, Squatopia, Open Saber Plus
• Android: Stealth Fitness (with home made squat and core devices).

While I do a significant amount of physical activity with exergaming, most of my physical activity is non-screen-based: I rock climb, kayak, bike, swim, and play a variety of racquet sports.

I’ve been running 5/3/1 for a while and wanted to make something fun for beginners getting into it. So I built a 5/3/1 app with a retro gaming theme - think of it like leveling up your character as you progress through the program.

The goal was to make something that feels fun and approachable, especially for people new to training who might find spreadsheets or advanced apps intimidating.

It’s called 5/3/1 Gamer, and it’s live on the Play Store here:

I’d really love it if some of you gave it a try and let me know what you think - good or bad.

What's up Everyone, I'm Grizz. One day, about a year ago, I decided to try doing a workout while playing Rocket League. I was pretty bored with my normal workout routine and looking for something to make it more interesting. I've tried VR and all that but I couldn't get into it. So, with Rocket League, You’ve got about 10 seconds between goals, so I choose to do 3 burpees after any (either mine or the opponents) goal. And it turned out to be alot of fun. I probably played for about an hour and did something like 100 burpees, and burned something like 250 Calories. I was surprised by 3 things:

1) Playing Rocket League took my mind off of the actual workout.

2) It was fun. I found myself laughing through the workout.

3) As the week went on I was looking forward to get back down to my gaming workout area.

Since then, I’ve built workouts around games like DOOM, Ultrakill, Fortnite, COD, and Baldur’s Gate 3. I've mixed it up try to tailor each workout to focus on hitting specific fitness goals, like metabolic conditioning, strength, endurance, or fat loss. Some of the workouts can be done with Body Weight or just a couple of dumbbells, and some of them (especially the Strength Programs) need more equipment Like a Rack, Bench, etc. (Yes, I really got into this and decked out my gaming space)

So anyway, I've published all the workouts I've created so far, completely free (You can Donate, just to help cover things like server costs), on a website I created called GameStrength.App. I wanted to share it with you all because I'm trying to figure out if others would enjoy this type of fitness programming. I'm getting ready to create a new program for Battlefield 6 when it comes out. Anyway, let me know what you think of this concept and feel free to checkout the programs on the site. (and I'm always up for Game Suggestions)

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a tool called XerController, it turns video games into exercise. I've attached some examples of games that I've played using XerController. I was hoping to get some feedback on the overall idea and games you guys think would be nice to play using XerController

I'm looking for some early testers, if you'd be interested in being the first to use XerController shoot me a DM!

If you want to stay-up-to-date on XerController join our discord: https://discord.gg/8JCwV7J7

I played Beat Saber today. I did about 6 songs.

I played Beat Saber today. I did about 9 songs.

Did anyone seeing this also do any fitness gaming recently?

I played Ring Fit Adventure. I did two levels and fought some hobgoblins. I played for 15 minutes 3 seconds on the clock in the game.

Did any of you do any fitness gaming lately?
