Each version of the game has its own collection of songs. And while I eventually got tired of the songs that came with the base game, I found it worthwhile to upgrade to Just Dance Unlimited to access more music. The subscription-based service lets you choose from a library of over songs, including songs from previous games and new exclusives. Just Dance isn't the only dance workout available on Nintendo Switch.
Zumba: Burn It Up released in November , offering Switch players an intro to the hugely popular Latin-inspired dance workout. Zumba incorporates upbeat music and choreographed dances, but you don't need to be a great dancer or have perfect rhythm; this workout is just about moving your body and having fun. Still, it's a fantastic cardio workout that also works your core and boosts flexibility. Zumba: Burn It Up brings the exercise dance party to your living room with over 30 songs from artists like Cardi B, Ciara, and more.
The game features real-life Zumba instructors, who will energetically lead you through the routines, and Switch Joy-Cons track your movement you'll want to strap them securely to your wrists. Zumba routines can get quite complex; however, you can choose your intensity level for each session, and some songs are slower than others. But at the end of the day, Zumba: Burn It Up is a great option if you're looking for a serious workout, not just a game that involves moving, and if you love Zumba or have wanted to try it out, this is a fantastic way to enjoy the exercise from home.
One of few first-party Switch games to really utilize motion controls, Arms is a stylish fighting game featuring a large cast of unique characters. At its core, Arms is a 3D 1v1 fighting game that doesn't take itself too seriously, and as the title suggests, arms are key here.
Each fighter has different mechanical arms and abilities, from fluttering ribbon arms and spring-loaded arms to arms with guns for hands and more. Yes, Arms may be easier to play with a Pro controller than with Joy-Con motion controls, but if the aim is to get up and moving, Arms provides just that through its variety of game modes. Arms supports online lobbies of up to 20 people, but you can also play local versus matches and multiple battle mode minigames like basketball and volleyball.
You can also get a nice workout playing the solo Grand Prix mode, which pits you against 10 computer-controlled characters to see if you have what it takes to secure the championship belt. We knocked it a bit for its surprisingly steep learning curve, but once you get the controls down, it's a lot of fun. While VR isn't the most accessible platform for playing games, the physical aspects of VR gaming can make for an intensive workout, and we'd be remiss not to mention titles like Beat Saber here.

Colored blocks fly toward you, and you swipe at them with the lightsabers in your hands--simple. Sure, it might seem relatively low impact when you're starting out, and as a rhythm game, it lacks the features that a dedicated workout experience might offer. But it's worth getting invested; the better you get at Beat Saber, the better a workout it is.
You might start on normal difficulty, or even hard, and higher levels of play will seem completely out of reach. But the game's learning curve is really more of a friendly slope, thanks to readily available options like no-fail mode, song slowing, and practice mode.
If you have the discipline to constantly set your sights on the next toughest challenge that initially seems unbeatable, you'll find yourself constantly improving. Once you start nailing songs on expert difficulty and toying with expert plus--not to mention modifiers that make songs more difficult, like extra speed or disappearing arrows--you'll find yourself pouring sweat and out of breath in no time.
Beat Saber also just released FitBeat, a new, free fitness track with standard, degree, and degree levels that leans even more heavily into the VR fitness game angle. FitBeat introduces some of Beat Saber's most challenging workouts yet, so there's no better time to dive in.
Sprint Vector offers a fairly strenuous VR workout thanks to its constant use of motion controls. While your racer is technically strapped into "vector blades," Sprint Vector's first-person perspective makes it feel like you're going on a brisk run.
The other is the fact that no matter what console you decide to play on, you'll be able to easily set up and play with whatever equipment you have. Whether you're using the Joy-Cons, motion cameras, or even the mobile phone app, there's plenty of ways to get a groove on with Just Dance.
It's multiplayer modes also mean you can get the whole family dancing along if you could find tracks that keep them all happy that is. While you'll need a Kinect camera to use it, it's worth digging your old one up, as it has plenty of fun mini-games, such as Split Decision, where you have to avoid a virtual wall that moves into the screen by dodging, jumping, and ducking. An innovative mobile running game, Zombies, Run tells the story of Runner 5 that'd be you as they jog their way through the zombie apocalypse.
With multiple seasons to go through, there's plenty to keep of storylines to keep you invested already, but the reason this fitness game ranks so high on our list is that it's just introduced a new mini-storyline that focuses on home workouts. Titled The Home Front , these ten missions are free for anyone to play and don't require any specialist equipment at all. Plus, there are no story spoilers, if you've been catching up on the game's past seasons.
It's a brilliant gesture and means you'll be able to keep fit without having to worry about the zombies outside. Wii Fit is a classic of the fitness game genre, with the Balance Board one of Nintendo's most popular peripherals. But just because Wii Fit is knocking on a bit doesn't mean it's still not a handy workout game.
If you still have your Wii, the game boasts loads of body workouts for you to do, using the balance board to measure your form. It also has a handy jogging mode, giving you a relaxing town to jog through, so you can have the benefits of seeing some relaxing scenery, all while running on the spot. If you have a Balance Board in your attic, or can hunt one down online, it's worth returning to Wii Fit.
