Nintendo Switch Bundle to Workout: New Ring Fit Adventure!

When COVID closed down California, I let my gym membership go. Gyms are now allowed to reopen, but with outdoor-access only. I just couldn’t do it. I look bad enough on a good day, indoors, but outside in a parking lot? In the heat and smoke? It was a no….but I still need to stay active, get in my steps and movement and not turn into a couch potato. Enter the new Nintendo Switch bundle for the Ring Fit Adventure! Working out at home just took another form and it’s FUN.

This post is sponsored by Nintendo. I was sent the Ring Fit Adventure to facilitate a review here for you!

Early on in COVID quarantine, the Ring Fit Adventure was so popular, it sold out….but the Nintendo Switch itself was hard to find, too. I’d missed the window and I was SO bummed. A few of my kids had Switches of their own, so we could play family games but I didn’t have a way to play Animal Crossing: New Horizons at will. Then it happened, I was able to get a hold of one and boom, on my way to creating my own island and playing games when I couldn’t sleep.

Someone asked me once, “You don’t feel weird, being an adult playing a kids’ game?”

First, no, I do not. Everyone does something to relax, whether it’s a game on their phone or watching a sport or reading a book. Some people shop mindlessly on Amazon. In these stressful times, finding something that makes you happy, gets your mind off things and is fun is so important. So no, no guilt here about happily sitting and playing Animal Crossing…or any other Nintendo game.

Second, Animal Crossing isn’t a kid’s game — it’s an everyone game.

With the important stuff out of the way, let me tell you more about the Nintendo Switch bundle of stuff that comes in the box with the new Ring Fit Adventure!

It does NOT include the Nintendo Switch, so be sure to already have one available. It DOES include the ring, a strap that goes around your left thigh and of course, the game.

The game premise is pretty simple. There is a dragon out there named Dragaux, and you have to help save the world from him. You move around from location to location, in the game, by jogging in place. You choose your level of intensity throughout the entire game, so you also choose your speed. You don’t need to be in-shape to play this game, nor do you even have to view it as a workout — it can just be a fun game that provides you some much-needed activity!

You’ll place one controller in the thigh strap and the other in the ring, which you can squeeze, pull or move around to ‘steer,’ essentially. You’ll also aim it to jump, climb stairs, paddle board and more! You’ll fight some little battles along the way and you’ll win by doing ‘fit skills,’ which are little workout moves. Again, all of this is done at your own level so you can make sure it’s all fun! The game reminds me of a safer version of Wipeout or American Ninja Warrior, stuff the rest of us can do!

My house is majorly under construction, so I was worried about space when I initially set up my game. I don’t have a lot of open floor space to do a lot of movements, so I was afraid I’d be hindered. No worries! If you’ve got room to do a yoga move or a sit-up, you’re all set. Confession: I even did this on my bed more than once! (New floors can really get in the way of productivity for the duration of the project. Floors are now in but there was a screw-up with the baseboards so we’re still waiting on them to install them.)

My favorite activities of the game were flying (ring held overhead), making pottery (using thigh muscles) and the HIIT-like mini-workouts where you do a move for a certain amount of time. I also really like the dodgeball-ish game. It’s been fantastic for when my weights are inaccessible, and you’ll get a decent workout without having to buy other equipment! (Always good to check with your doctor if you have extenuating medical circumstances.)

You can follow the existing workout modes, or you can customize your own depending on your needs. (Certain skills are labeled as core, arms, legs, etc.) You can also pass the ring around so you can play as a family, and you can even play online!

If you’re like me, you may be a bit competitive. I used to go to the gym with friends or my daughter a few times a week, and we’d push each other a little. While not everyone has a Nintendo Switch to do this with, we can use the stats provided in each workout so you can compete against yourself! You’ll also learn your approximate calories burned, which is a big deal to me. I wear a fitness tracking watch and I really like getting an idea of where I am daily on my quest to burn calories beyond what my body uses for basic functions.

This Nintendo Switch game is so worth the cost! It’s MSRP is $79.99. It’s available on Nintendo’s website, as well as third-party vendors like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and more, so you can have it delivered and avoid shopping. I’ll be honest, I’ve gotten a little hermit-ish during quarantine, so if I can have something delivered, I’m that much more excited about it!

It all fits in one easy-to-store box.

Let me know if you have the Ring Fit Adventure and I’d love to know your favorite benefit of having purchased this Nintendo Switch bundle to have fun and stay active at home! One day, when it’s safe to invite people over, we’re totally having a Switch party with some of our closest friends. We’re a pretty competitive group at games and I think playing the Ring Fit games would be a spectacularly funny evening we talk about for a long time!

Brunch at The Benediction in Rowland Heights. Am Brunch at The Benediction in Rowland Heights. 

Amazing array of Eggs Benedict. Wide variety of specialty mimosas. This is the Lobster Benedict and Pear-Thyme 16 oz mimosa. Both were delicious. Side of fried green tomatoes, best I’ve had since Paula Deen’s restaurant in Savannah. 

Reservations suggested but not required. We waited maybe 10 minutes on a standby list. Masks required to get in. Temps checked. Tables distanced. Fabulous service.

Headed to Frank and Son early this morning. In lin Headed to Frank and Son early this morning. In line at 8:15am, doors opened at 9:00 and we walked right in (with a few hundred others). Masks on, socially distanced, one-way aisles, surrounded by fellow nerds. My new favorite place. (Disney, I love you, but you’re closed.) Found this amazing scepter that happens to light up. Loki gear is too hard to find, but now I have this sharp Asgardian weapon in my foyer...and while I just want to go around tapping peoples’ chests to see if their eyes turn black and they become my minions, I am also secure with this sharp weapon that just might really hurt someone. 

Kneel!

Thanks to @frankandsonshow in Rowland Heights for a wonderful morning! We found a bunch of @originalfunko Pops to fill gaps in our Avenger movie collection and a couple other surprises. I can’t wait to go back. 

Tips: go early. It had a line waiting outside when we left at 11:40am. Take cash, because a lot of places give a discount. If you see something you like, ask questions. Many vendors will hold it for you until you’re done if you pay for it. I saw negotiations happen. And have fun. It’s a bit overwhelming, as there is so much to look at. 

And now I am ready for the new Loki Disney Plus show in June!!

In 2020, we started our home renovation. We knew i In 2020, we started our home renovation. We knew it could be a challenge during the pandemic, but we’d been waiting and were ready. 

We started with new lighting throughout, adding additional outlets and power along the way, outside and in. What a difference it made! Then we moved on to the kitchen and its adjoining family/dining space, making it perfect for the family to eat in on the daily and for holiday meals and perfect for me to watch TV while prepping food or writing late at night. So many plans!

To really change it up, we decided to add a Butler’s Pantry to one wall, where there originally was nothing permanent. The design needed to incorporate our two wine fridges (one white, one red), our booze bottles, all our crystal and dishwater, and our bar equipment. I wanted two glass doors to display the pretty stuff and a hanging wine glass area...and a countertop to serve as a beverage area while entertaining. Easy, right?

The main kitchen layout stayed the same, but we gutted it entirely, removing all the aged oak cabinets and dark marble counters. Swinging the sledge that first time felt amazing! We chose Shaker-style cabinets in a slate grey, a stainless farmhouse double-sink and white quartz with grey marbling. To really maximize space, we turned a pony wall into a cookbook shelf with a matching counter, had a custom island built to stow my gear and provide more food prep area, and had a copper pot rack replated. I can’t forget the bench seat by the weird window that is extra storage and a great place to sit, with its new purple cushion. 

Then came a new dining set, a loveseat to complete the relaxing hangout nook, and a refaced fireplace. The blues of the backsplashes brighten up a once dark space, purple pops of color bring it all together, and we LOVE it in here!  Thanks to my son, the contractor, we have a unique area to entertain and spend time together. Stay tuned, more reno posts coming, as we’re doing the entire house!

Did you watch Tom and Jerry as a kid? I did, and I Did you watch Tom and Jerry as a kid? I did, and I loved it! Who didn’t, right? I always rooted for Jerry the Mouse! It was a popular cartoon then and now, the infamous duo is back in a new movie hitting the big screen, and HBOMax, on February 26!

A fun hybrid of live-action and animation, the new Tom and Jerry has a stellar cast, including Chloe Grace Moritz, Michael Pena, Colin Jost, Bobby Cannavale, Jordan Bolger and more! Based in New York City, now we get to see something we never thought we’d see: Tom and Jerry have to WORK TOGETHER.

In preparation for the movie, Warner Bros. sent us this awesome box of goodies, including this smash cake, full of treats and surprises. We’re going to have movie night this weekend, where we’ll play the game and laugh together, but I’m most excited to introduce my granddaughter, Charlotte, to another cartoon I grew up with. I’m sure she’s going to love Tom and Jerry just as much as I do!

I’ll have a blog post up soon with a downloadable activity pack and links to some games to prep for the movie — or just to stay occupied on another weekend safe-at-home! I’ll also include some photos of what’s inside this massive cake! (And let me just say, the CAUTION tape on the outside of the box had the delivery man doing a double-take. “Should I just put this right here?” ...as he set it down OH so carefully!)

Thanks, Warner Bros.! Can’t wait to watch the movie and have fun with the goodies!

Since lockdown started, we realized just how much Since lockdown started, we realized just how much money we spend on takeout and restaurant food. I'll be honest -- I miss restaurants but at least this past year has pushed me back towards one of my favorite activities: making food for those I love. I may not be able to entertain like we used to (yet), but now that our kitchen renovation is complete, I have the space to experiment and get ready with some new recipes. I also can throw together simple food and healthier options, like this caprese salad. It's just about the easiest thing to make that can be a side dish or a meal in itself. 

I made this one using three different kinds of heirloom tomatoes from Melissa's Produce, fresh pre-sliced mozzarella and fresh basil, both picked up at our local grocer for just a few dollars, making this meal also inexpensive. Slice the tomatoes, layer them with the cheese and basil, and drizzle with your favorite type of balsamic vinegar. I used Bertolli balsamic glaze, which adds just a little tang to the salad. 

I used to order Caprese salads a lot when we'd got out. The crisp of the tomato, the creaminess of the cheese and the savory taste of the basil -- I may have made a smaller serving just for myself the next day. Healthier options don't have to be fancy, expensive or time-consuming. They also don't have to be super low-cal or small portions. Life is short, so eat good food, get some exercise and make new things.

During lockdown, it’s been so important to have During lockdown, it’s been so important to have a safe space to spend our time. I’ve never enjoyed having a garden more than this past year. Early on, it provided vegetables and throughout, it has been a haven. We put up a tv, spruced up the furniture and still, sitting under this tree has been a favorite. Even Shuri gravitates toward its shade, and these oranges have contributed to many breakfasts, brunches and mimosas. Here’s to another Sunday being happy at home!
