Fitness Boxing (Nintendo Switch)

I've been trying to lose weight for a while and my favourite exercise is boxing so I was thrilled to see this out for Switch. The game itself is good, there are tutorials to show you the different punches and what the logo will be for them in game which you can access at any point. The game provides a daily workout (generated by the game) as well as free workout (you select song and routine) and keeps track of estimated calorie burn. It does require you to enter height and weight but then I'd expect it from a fitness game. Song selection isn't too bad, initially you only have access to a couple but as you complete more workouts you unlock the others. The only draw back for me is the annoying voice and corners the 'instructor' makes but you can reduce the volume of the instructor. Overall a worthwhile purchase if you are looking for a fun way to workout, I did 20 minutes and hadn't even noticed.

I'm generally a healthy gamer as it is, counting my calories etc on most days. However I do enjoy a hearty meal, and I do enjoy eating carbs and the sort of things that the gym-obsessed would consider "cheat day" junk.I used to love Wii Fit and Dance mat games in the past, so I was all for a game like this to come to Switch. After close to 100 hours invested this year. I can honestly say it's a great asset to have if you prefer to work out at home instead of going to gyms etc.On a good week, I try to play this at least 3 times a week, for about 30-40 minutes a time. There is never not a time I don't stop playing having worked up a sweat. The first few weeks of playing will have you aching in places you didn't know could ache too (but in a "you're doing a great job" kind of way).I could feel my general balance/ core strength was improved after a week or so, and my arms and shoulders were improved too. All in all this does a LOT more for your body per session than Wii Fit would in a time comparison.The music choices can be cheesy, but it's easy to keep shuffling the choices or alienate anything you hate in the options. It's really all background noise when you're in the zone though, so don't let the song choices be a decider in buying this.One negative is that occasionally the game (or the joy-cons) might misread what you did, or not read you at all. Which can be annoying, but you just have to remind yourself that you're not doing wrong, you did what it asked. The more you play the more you learn what the game is looking for and the less you'll run into that.Highly recommended for fans of fitness games and/ or rhythm games. Or those just looking for new ways to work out at home.

I've been using this for almost 2 months and have lost more than ten kilos in that time, though I have also made major changes to my diet. You can set fitness goals for cardio, strength building, targetting certain areas, and a time window for your daily exercise, from ten minutes to forty minutes, though it is possible for a set of exercises to overrun this target by about five minutes or so.Movement detection is good, though it may not feel great at first. The more accurate your movements are, the better it works, I promise. You can work up a sweat, so some gloves to protect your JoyCons and a towel are recommended. The music is genericised instrumental covers, so if you're worried about the track list, don't be, all they provide is tempo.Coming back to increase your streak, having your trainer encourage you, unlocking gear to customise your trainer, and seeing how much you numbers improve over time in the graphs is a great motivator, at least for me. With a free update, you can take screenshots, so you can grab pics of your results screens and share them.Obviously training with this isn't a substitute for heavy bag training or sparring, but for coordination, cardio, and just ease of use, it's a solid tool for the price

1st attempted trying this and love it! I wish i brought it sooner! You have a daily exercise to do each day; then if you would like to do extra fitness, you can :-)The songs aren't to bad on there, you unlock different songs to the progress you do...You definitely work-up a sweat, you can unlock it to have different difficulties so in time will get more harder! I brought this due to being on a diet and to get bit fit as don't have confidence going out jogging or to a gym..I have a weak left arm due to metal plate in shoulder; this is helping alot by strengthing it tooWill buy the fitness Boxing 2 in next few months once completed this one! Definitely worth the money 😁

I like how physical it was and this is for my girlfriend who wanted it for Christmas I'm sure she'll like it it looks great energetic and fun and I'm sure we are great time

I love it and great to keep in shape too

Its good, but could be better, it only seems to catch sudden movements so flowing from one punch to another can sometimes record a miss which is frustrating after punching for 20 mins and it missing the last punch. Or it will catch your transition to an uppercut as the punch causing to register to early. Its a shame as it breaks the gamification aspect causing me to care about the age rating you get knowing it should of been better.
