For Christmas, my girlfriend got me one of those Polar fitness watches that tracks your steps and workout progress over the course of the day. On Friday, I skipped the gym in the morning and had a long day in the office of just sitting at my desk. By the time I got home, I had only achieved around 50% of my daily goal.
Resigned to my fate, I set up the Switch to play some Esprade, and pulled out the Hori HRAP V. About 20 minutes into the game, my watched started buzzing. "You have reached 100% of your goals!" the display read. Turns out, joystick movement tricks the watch into thinking you're walking. Shmups are cardio after all!
