We're revisiting fitness for the New Year and making our own resolutions. Jeff and Chenu share what they're doing with their own fitness and how UX plays a part in all that. We take a look at what's happening with virtualization of indoor cycling and rowing. We also talk about how the Nintendo Switch can help you with your fitness by playing games like Ring Fit Adventure. As usual, the conversation goes into unknown territory and deeper dives.
