A new year is upon us and, with it, a renewed focus to achieve our annual fitness goals. Whether you’re looking to slim down or bulk up in 2022, lifeless jogs on the treadmill or bench presses as you stare at a blank ceiling aren’t the only ways to reach your ideal body figure. Nintendo’s best-selling fitness game, Ring Fit Adventure, exists to keep you sweating while having fun. It’s also on sale for just $54.99 — the lowest price to date, just in time for New Years.

The game takes a brilliantly crafted approach to fitness that will get any person off the couch.
