I am trying to lose some weight, and I know a kid who got really good at DDR, and lost a lot of weight from playing with the dance mat all the time. Has anyone else, who was once obese lost any weight playing? Do you think this is a good idea?
Well, I'm not fat much less obese but I have the DDR mat. It's pretty cool. I don't think you'll instantly lose the weight but in time it'll help. Though you can't expect to drop pounds JUST by using the DDR mat. You gotta do other stuff, too.
I know. I am joining a class to help me lose weight too.
It's a good workout, if that helps any. I rarely play it, though.. and I'm not obese. :p
I suggest being a cashier at a grocery store, if you're old enough.. My stomach has flattened out from working at one for two months. o.o
A cashier doesn't move much though, do they?
I really want a job. I am not allowed to have one. My mom told me I am not allowed to grow up yet.. so yeah. No job, no licence, very little life.
Had to be. I don't do much besides go to work and sleep.
Our store is BUSY as **** all of the time.. and we always have lazy sods who call off.. There's also a lot of lifting and stuff involved..
Were you in a grocery store, fog?
And that sucks, Panic, about the job thing.
And I feel like asking, what is the BEST version of DDR? I want to buy more besides Max 2.
I hear the Extreme games are quite challenging.
There is a workout mode in the games and you can actually track an estimate of how many calories you could be burning everyday. If you want a better workout though, you have to start getting good at the game so you can do harder songs.
That's what I wanna do, buy it and get better. The kid I was talking about earlier and do the Sandstorm song without looking. He memorized every step.
If your doing it simply for exercise, look into the eye toy game Kinetic. It's specifically tailored to be a workout "game" that keeps track of your progress and stuff. And that gives you your choice of full body workout, arms, legs, abs, stretching, yoga, meditation, tai chi.... as opposed to DDR where you just move your legs and look silly.
I'll look into that NES Queen. Thanks. :D
i gauss that's everything cost moves it's a weight losser
all my family are fat exept me and my mom cuz we move a lot
and eat one meal per 23 hours ^^
What do you do for the 24th hour?
My girlfriend is just way to fast when it comes to DDR. We play it a lot and I've tried playing uder the same difficulty as her but I just can't keep up. Don't get wrong. I'm pretty good at DDR as well and can play most of the songs on either standard or heavy, but she makes me look like I'm moving in slow motion. I'm not gelous of her because most of the other games we play, I'm better at, but still think the game is really fun even though her scores are double and triple mine.
