Hello, guys! I'm new to ResetERA (actually I've been lurking for a while waiting for my account to get approved hehe) and I've decided to come straight to this thread since it's the one that inspired me to make an account in the first place. All the tips and suggestions in this thread have been great for me to get the most of Ring Fit for the past ~3 months. I had never been an active person before getting the game, and doing a ~35 min session for 5 days a week has helped me a LOT - I've even started to eat healthier because of the game! Last Sunday, I finally beat the main campaign (*pats myself in the back*) and hopped into NG+ straight away. Won't go into spoilers but I'm very impressed with what I've seen of NG+ so far! This game just keeps getting better for me :)
I've decided to post in this thread, however, because I'm in a bit of a situation. Since exercising had never been part of my routine prior to this game, I'm a little worried about stopping, even if temporarily. This Thursday I'll have jaw surgery to correct a very extreme case of overbite. It's been a long time coming, but now that I've finally got around to keeping myself active through Ring Fit, I'm worried about the extended period of time where I'll be away from it. The doctor said that in about a month after the surgery I would be able to go back to exercising, but I'm afraid such a long time will undo much of my fitness progress - the game itself even says that muscles go back to how they were before starting exercising after a period of ~10 days. So, my question is: after the doctor gives me the all-clear for physical activity, how would you guys recommend that I go about it when going back to Ring Fit? Should I lower my difficulty to zero? I think jogging could be a little problematic for my new jaw, so getting back go the NG+ campaign would probably have to wait a while. In that case, have any of you replaced the main campaign in your routine with the custom sets on the title screen? How did that feel?
Sorry for the long post, I just really love this game and would love to go back to it as soon as I'm able to and within my limits, of course :)
