Have you got what it takes to Walk the Plank with Ring Fit Adventure?

With the Christmas season well and truly underway, what better to spend the holidays than getting your friends and family together for some Ring Fit Adventure?

Whether you’re a seasoned Ring Fitter or dabbling your toes into the fitness pond for the first time, this challenge we’re setting up is a perfect way to get everyone in your house having fun and testing out their core. 

So, we simply want you to Walk The Plank. Now, we’re not asking you to dig a hole in your garden, fill it with water (and sharks, if you’re feeling adventurous), and then see if you can walk it across without falling in. No, instead, what we’re tasking you with doing is setting up the Plank mini-game on Ring Fit Adventure and then finding out which family member can go the longest.

To do this, simply take it in turns to start the game and when you fail your first Plank, pass the leg strap to the next contender. The person with the fewest Planks is eliminated and you keep on going until you have only one person left standing. Although, with all those Planks, maybe it’s more appropriate to say the person most deserving of a good lie down...

If that sounds like fun, why not also take on the entire world? Set up a fitness list that is just exclusively the Planking challenge and see how many reps you can do. Once your core has had enough planking for one session, take a screenshot and send in your record to us on Facebook, Twitter, or in the comments below.
