CultureGamingBy making excercise into a game, these titles could be the key to leveling up your fitness.

Exercise is hard. Finding the motivation to start exercising is often even harder.

With that in mind, many games developers have devoted themselves to finding ways to make working out fun by rolling it into a videogame.

Recently, there has been a real trend for mobile apps like Fitocracy, which aim to gamify your exercise experience.

Companies like Nintendo have been working on it for years, with a range of sporty games released for their motion-control console the Wii.

That consoles successor, the Nintendo Switch, also boasts motion-controls amongst its many features, spawning a whole range of shiny new fitness-centric games for it too.

Fitness Boxing

Rather than focusing on bloodying up opponents or going after belts, Fitness Boxing sees player throwing punches to the rhythm of an up-tempo pop song.

Completing a level and racking points allows you to unlock customisable bits and pieces for your avatar, as well as a wider selection of songs to bob and weave to.

By allowing players to set their own goal as well as programming in how much time they are able to commit, Fitness Boxing offers them a workout tailor-made for each individual. As they progress, more exercises are opened up to them, keeping things fresh.

Just Dance 2020

The original Just Dance game was released for the Wii back in 2009, building on the popularity of Dance Dance Revolution-style games by using motion-controls to get the players upper body involved too.

Since then, the series has kept a constant supply of updated, upgraded Just Dance games coming, most recently with this years Just Dance 2020.

This years soundtrack is kitted out with 40 new tracks and includes songs by Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Cardi B and Lil Nas X. Even the most wearied soul will struggle to keep their feet from moving.

It also has a Kids section filled with tracks like Baby Shark (do do, dodo do do) which is perfect for getting the little ones up and moving too.

Ring Fit Adventure

By far the most unusual entry on this list, Ring Fit Adventure represents the latest attempt by Nintendo to integrate fun, colourful gameplay with healthy living.

Ring Fit Adventure is basically a standard RPG in which you wander a fantastical realm, fending off monsters and completing quests. The catch is that you do so by performing various exercises.

With one controller snapped into a plastic tension ring and the other strapped to the players leg, the game offers a full-body workout as the hero runs through obstacle courses, squats down to pick up treasure and battles dumbbell-shaped bad guys.

Brilliantly, it also features a Quiet Mode that trades out running for knee bends for those who want to get in shape without disturbing the rest of the house.

Zumba Burn It Up!

Created by a Columbian dancer in the 90s, Zumba sparked a fitness craze by blending high-intensity training with infectious Latin dance music. Today, there are estimated to be over 14 million Zumba students taking classes all across the world.

Zumbas high-energy style, emphasis on fun and enduring popularity made it the ideal fit for the Nintendo Switch, and the two have now come together with Zumba Burn It Up!

The game allows up to four players to take on any of its 30 tracks as they shake their hips in time to the music with as much verve and flair as they can manage.

With routines drawn from reggaetn, salsa, merengue, cumbia, hip hop, and Bollywood, theres something here for everybody.

Sports Party

The game that came with the Wii, Wii Sports immediately found widespread popularity thanks to how easy it was for anyone to pick up and play. Naturally, it inspired waves of imitators, with Sports Party now looking to take up the mantle for a new generation.

Sports Party is made very much in the same vein, using a bright and breezy visual style to appeal to people beyond hardcore gamers. Just like Wii Sports, it lets players choose between six different events Gold, Beach Tennis, Basketball, Skateboarding, Frisbee and Jet Ski.

With various unlockables to be harnessed through the events and colourful game world, Sports Party does its best to make exercising a cheerful experience.
