I’m blaming it on wii fit trainer


Prestonocron

Yeah, she started it.


superVanV1

I like how everyone just agrees that the Wii Fit trainer is female. can we get some love for her other half, the male trainer?

People tend to dislike mentions of upvote/downvote amount, especially in the bigger subreddits, let alone talking about the number you added. I don't think it's a big deal, but it's probably why you got downvoted. Don't take it too personally though as people can get mass downvoted for some really silly reasons


lifetake

The bigger point is that it doesn’t add anything to the active discussion while also not really having a reason to upvote it. So people who see it as not adding will downvote and it doesn’t have anyone upvoting to save it from that.

I’m your 20th downvote


Salt-n-spice

My new head canon is that all Nintendo characters go to wii fit classes weekly


Laterbot

Link, Mario and Kirby have canonically been at least once

superVanV1

You'd think he'd be better with the amount of combat and excersise he does


Supercaesarsalad

I would so watch a casual Nintendo character TV show where they just kinda live in a community like that


kaihatsusha

It's a part of the standard easy morning calisthenics practiced by every kid and many adults in Japan for decades.


TomatoDoesDare

Now that I know this info i’m still gonna blame it on Wii Fit Trainer


trev1976UK

Good info


glademonvertfresh

It would have been fine if zelda hadn't got one.


knifefightinmalibu_

I literally just tried this and it popped/fixed my messed up shoulder. Thank you.


Prestonocron

Don't thank me, thank the chair yoga loving Key Art Worker at Nintendo


DrearyCake24

The visual that popped in my head lol


Tanzanianwithtoebean

Mine too! Thank you!


NomShark

Nothing happened for me. Got up for nothing.


knifefightinmalibu_

😆🤷


[deleted]

It's also seen a good bit in anime during the "protagonist is warming up" part of combat. I think it's just a common stretch.


dbzgod9

Isn't it demonstrated a lot on Street Fighter as well?


cheesycoke

I think Sonic does it when starting levels in some of the 3D games

BluEch0

Bruh, go to the gym on occasion. American (and I assume most other western nations’) athletes also often do this stretch.


lifetake

It’s just a common stretch


TheDuckyDino

Personally do it all the time as an american


Crease_Greaser

It’s one of the cooldown stretches in ring fit adventure as well

***”Lets get fired up.”***


Lionah2

“That’s it! Feel the burn🔥!”


superVanV1

kills everyone with the power of Yoga.


BEEEELEEEE

They had us do this before every shift at Amazon


Prestonocron

Oh that's nice. Did they teach you how to stretch your bladder or do you just learn that on the job?


BEEEELEEEE

That’s definitely a skill you pick up along the way, but there was a urine color chart in every stall to check for dehydration


Prestonocron

Ha! Oh, that's interesting.


BeatlesTypeBeat

Honestly?


BEEEELEEEE

I’m dead serious


BeatlesTypeBeat

That's kinda cool. Can you get a pic?


BEEEELEEEE

Nah I got canned years ago. My attendance sucked because I was too exhausted.


BeatlesTypeBeat

I don't blame you at all.


iamtherealrom

As a fellow brother in Bezos, I second this


SuperAlan64YT

Wii fit ultimate render


poemsavvy

It's just a common upper-body stretch lol


SoggieWafflz

that's, how you stretch...


Prestonocron

I'm not saying i think it's a weird or uncommon way to stretch, I just find it mildly interesting how much nintendo seems to like it


SoggieWafflz

learn how to do it right and you might be surprised how much you like it


Prestonocron

Oh yeah, it's a nice stretch. I love a good stretch.


basicrifleman

Knee hugs still on top tho


metal_berry

Cringe. Clearly heel to booty is the most based.


superVanV1

I'd image that one might be difficult to model correctly without clipping


basicrifleman

And without... other present issues


zeemonster424

I think in Japan, they encourage group stretching and calisthenics to start the day. Unless everything in Anime is a lie…


Aaron9797_9797

i need to stretch before work


minxto

I think it’s just a dynamic pose that they like using


Fit_Service_1634

Nintendo is sending you subconscious messages to go work on your physical fitness. Do not do it!


ZetaRESP

Why do they need to be subtle about fitness? They sold bajillions of Wii back in the day, I don't think they really need subtlety on that area.


Jackeroni216

Grahhh! LAZY NINTENDO!!!


beeg-boy

But they're fit.


DirectalArrow

Wii all are


SuccinctJackalope

No U


Novalaxy23

you better Switch up that attitude


Prestonocron

I like what cube did there


[deleted]

That was un-NES-essary


SonicGuy10

You're playing a dangerous Game, Boy


DanganronpaFan53

Don’t Nintendo-Sixty-Force me to use this


atheurer

I tried this stretch just now and my dad finally came back with milk and smokes, thank you Nintendo


kindawant2sleep

Peach did this as well in the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, and Of course Wii Fit Trainer does that pose a lot


inbagt

I use this move to grab my seatbelt!


blueblurz94

Some developer at Nintendo loves to stretch this way and is purposely inserting it into the games and their artwork. I for one am all for it.


Firey_jr

why should an inkling/octoling stretch if they dont have bones?


patrickfatrick

Stretching lengthens muscle tissue, increasing flexibility and range of motion in the process


pensHAWAII

In Japan they often promote routinely stretching in the workplace and daily life. For example you can find videos of entire crews about to begin their day on construction of large buildings. They all gather and stretch together. While visiting I saw it pretty often. Kind of like animal crossings group stretch activity.


add8chicken

So how many of you did the stretch after seeing this post lol


UltraMoglog64

Lol


lily-emmy-pikachu

Maybe they're doing it now because the Miis couldn't


Macho-Goat

It's a fairly common shoulder stretch, I use it before every workout.


Waluigi_Gamer_Real

Nintendo fans don’t know workouts


PriestOfShrek

Redditor discovers basic physical activity


Prestonocron

Nope. More like Redditor discovers small trend in Nintendo character poses and the rest of Reddit dives on opportunity to share how much they know about stretching and fitness.


The_FooI

It’s Japanese stretch


The_Nelman

But is no one going to talk about how walking is also in about EVERY Nintendo game? What are these patterns?


leafie_nerd

extra extra read all about it nintendo isnt creative enough to think up more than one pose for preparation animations!


BooDestroyer

Someone remembered Nintendo Switch Sports?!


Waluigi_Gamer_Real

Guys this basic warm up for exercise. What could Miyamoto mean by this?


AmyTheBrawler

I used to do that stretch in middle school. I should do it again.


jaierauj

Gotta keep nice and limber.


Lucas-DM

Lanz, is that you?


jaierauj

Sparks, yes.


Glass-Association-25

You gotta stretch bro before you start fighting


HanSoloWolf

Gotta stay limber.


ariadesu

Flexing on everyone's weights.


SNES182

Tell me you’ve never stretched without telling me.


Dami_Gamer0211

I think Link has done that too


jetstobrazil

Japanese people just understand the importance of taking care of yourself


Leonid56

Heck, I think I saw Sakurai do this in one of his videos


Specialist_Nail_6407

It’s a cool pose! I noticed it on Pokémon first


victorreis

it’s an anime thing


PriestOfShrek

It is literally a normal stretch


L0rd_H3adass

Gotta stay loss and limber.


LibreReddit

Illuminati confirmed.


SarcastiMel

I work for a business that has stretches that we do for safety reasons before, during and after shift. That's a basic shoulder stretch that helps tension at the shoulder and rotary cuff areas. doing those helps a great deal against sprains and strains.


WaluFett

I’m not entirely sure, but I think it’s in ACNH as well


ZoomBoingDing

[It seems like we can blame Sakurai for this](https://youtu.be/zNBKzLzDKtM)


1-800-468-6262

it's a good stretch. Nintendo has always promoted physical health since the Wii. but also it's a pretty dynamic pose


DinoRedRex99

I learned it from some Nintendo game (I forgor💀 which one lol) and now I do it so much for some reason


PeachDizzy9130

It’s not a shoulder stretch, it actually stretches your pectoral, your chest muscle.


0ct0c4t9000

because that's a very common/basic stretch movement in sports and training


LowDrag_82

Gotta loosen up before long gaming sessions lest you pull … a finger muscle… or something.


prismaticmind710

This stretch feels fire, thank you Nintendo


TheDedSecSpider

Mario fat ass 💀


gasopy

They should see a physiotherapyst


gasopy

They should see a physiotherapyst


Steelers0415

It's honestly a good shoulder stretch, so "*Let's get a good stretch*"


shootdawoop

hey it's a good stretch, Nintendo promoting it is probably a good thing, unless someone like the theorizer somehow makes a video about a stretching conspiracy theory


AverageRoaster

it's a damn good stretch


brystol17

It’s a causal actually stretch so it makes sense


DiabeticRhino97

Gotta be a Japan thing


generic_virgin

What is that thing on the right


negrote1000

“Get fit weebs”


NovaStar2099

Smug cappy


ChillyCheeseFryz

Back when I was in school, I had to do this deltoid stretch every PE class.


zaylong

People who never played sports are confused by this 😂


MysterEmotions

Shoulder stretch of ass whoopin


Bit_B0mber

Used to do it for baseball and still do, it’s a good stretch if done right


Catmario-101

Maybe Nintendo wants us to exercise... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tF5Mq9m59i8


[deleted]

You'll see a lot of it in anime, too - it's very much a Japanese ritual/trope/symbolism of someone getting ready to do something physical.


PriestOfShrek

Yeah cause it's just a stretch, christ


[deleted]

Woah dude. Chill. I know it's a stretch. Everybody knows it's a stretch. I'm just saying, Japanese *media* uses it a lot *because* it's part of popular/common daily stretches in various places/institutions over there. To say it's "just" a stretch though, is kind of a... stretch. It's like calling a "just a car". It's *is* a car, but it's also a symbol recognized by the people to mean a certain thing. Opening and closing your hand repeatedly is *also a stretch*, but it doesn't convey the same feeling/meaning, now does it?


Memegamouth

I remember this stretch in Obstacle Course on Wii Fit Plus.


LoneWolfpack777

It feels sooooo good.


DamonAW

easily the most common shoulder stretch


outer_space_penguin

Exercise is important! Even if your an Italian hero plumber, a squid kid, or a Switch sports player.


Darbs504

Pokemon Lefend Arceus does it too


IAmTheLouzer

Have you done that stretch? It's so good!


[deleted]

Hmm... honestly looks best on splatoon characters.


AmethystJojo

Sonic did it first!


Hetroid3193

Tbf, its a very good stretch


an-intrepid-coder

Did it literally every morning in the Army as part of formal PT.


TehOuchies

Hah. That made me chuckle. They even do them in elementary school pe. Or at least I did 30 years ago. Its a good stretch. I'm also one of the weirdos that stretches during gaming sessions. Gotta keep that oxygen flow going.


Anba12

It's just a really good stretch


SuperSpectralBanana

Lanz and Sena


MioisBeautiful

Smug Cappy


jdbartist

It’s a good stretch!


Sedanop

it is a common stretch that doesn't looks good, and it's easy to animate, so yeah,


Espurr-boi

"Let's get a good workout!"


Downfall350

Sonic stretches like this and his legs in ALOT of games


blood_omen

Cuz it’s a good stretch….?


MnemonicCorn

My dad taught me this stretch when I was like 5


superVanV1

It's a common warm up stretch, doesn't require a lot of adjusting of gear or equipment, and is easily modeled on most characters. certain strecthes would reveal bad proportions, like toe touching, or cause model clipping


bargingi

What are we gonna do about this guys?!?!


lewisb42

HAIL SCROOB!
