Stuck at home? Stay fit with your Switch.

The gyms are closed, and you're looking for a good way to stay in shape. Well, if you own a Nintendo Switch, you're in luck, because these games will help keep you entertained AND moving. Whether you're looking for a serious workout, or just something to get you (or the kids) up off the couch, these five games are sure to do the trick.

Ring Fit Adventure

Ring Fit Adventure is easily one of the most focused and well-rounded workouts you can get without actually hiring a pesonal trainer. The developers of this game clearly knew that balance is key; that is, the balance between actually creating a fun adventure game that keeps you coming back for more, which a lot of workout "games" tend to struggle with, and also delivering a high-quality and intense interval workout, complete with cardio and strength training (thanks to the included Ring-Con and leg strap accessories). You'll run through a fun and colorful fantasy world, using your arsenal of exercises to battle fitness-inspired opponents. The best part? Ring Fit Adventure will help you to build a workout schedule, remind you when to work out, and reward your progress with meaningful in-game items and outfits.

Fitness Boxing

Have you ever seen a boxer or an MMA fighter that's out of shape? Well, not counting certain fighters in the heavyweight divisions, of course… I mean, they're probably still in shape, but not the kind of shape I'm talking about. Anyway, there's a reason boxers are (generally) in such good shape, it's because the movement associated with boxing provides some great full-body exercise. Fitness Boxing will have you throwing jabs, hooks, and uppercuts, as you duck and weave through a variety of routines set to instrumental versions of hit pop songs. Choose from a selection of virtual instructors, enter your info and fitness goals, and get to work! You'll even unlock new music and in-game items, like outfits for your instructor, if you stick to your workout schedule.

Zumba Burn It Up!

If you aren't among the 15 million people that participate in weekly Zumba classes (yes, you read that number correctly), maybe you saw those Zumba infomercials back in the early 2000s? You remember, right? Julie, mother of 7, and her rock-hard abs? Alright, if you somehow missed the whole Zumba craze, allow me to explain. In some ways this game is a combination of a traditional workout and a game like Just Dance (see number 4 on this list), but don't be fooled, this is definitely not a casual dance game. For those uninitiated in the ways of Zumba, this popular exercise program is based on dance and movement centered around four basic rhythms: salsa, reggaeton, merengue and cumbia; delivering an intense and fun workout. With that knowledge, you might not expect this game to be packed with hit songs from artists like Cardi B and Ciara, but you'd be wrong... because, you know, it does. Choose from over 30 classes to suit your fitness level and personal goals, and get dancing; on your own, or with up to 4 people.

Just Dance 2020

Over 40 hot tracks to dance to? Check. New choreography? Check. Those weird glowing people with neon clothes and no faces? You bet your ass! Just Dance 2020 is the latest game in the hit Just Dance franchise, which has had us dancing (and humming that Lady Gaga song) since 2009. If you haven't played a Just Dance game recently, you might be surprised by how much the experience has evolved, with the ability to compete online against dancers from around the world, a curated list of kid-friendly songs and choreography, and the option to dance to over 500 additional songs (using the Just Dance Unlimited paid subscription service).

Mario Tennis Aces

Ok, so this one may not be an in-depth, strictly regimented workout or a psychadelic dance marathon, but it is a game that will undoubtedly get you up and moving. Besides, there's room on this list for a little senseless fun, right? Hey, do you remember playing Wii Sports tennis back in the day? Swinging your Wii Remote, channeling the power of your inner Venus and/or Serena Williams? Ok, now picture that experience, but with super-responsive controls and the option to play as 30 of your favorite Nintendo characters on fantastical themed courts. Well, that's Mario Tennis Aces. Play through missions, battle bosses, or just challenge your friends and family (or the computer) to a match. You can even play locally (in your living room) with up to 4 people in doubles matches!
