FAQs

Along with a healthy diet and exercise, fitness games are an excellent way to get the blood pumping and work up a sweat.

Take regular breaks and avoid excessive exertion. Always talk to a medical professional before starting a new workout regime. 

Dancing, racing, boxing, sprinting and yoga are just some of the exercise games available on PS4 and PS5.

A PS Plus subscription is not a requirement to play these games but it does facilitate online co-op in some titles.
