DDR Evercise??

[Nevergrow'nup]

Has anyone here tried the Dance Dance Revolution game for exercise. They advertise that there is a workout mode that will tell you how many calories you have burned?? I thought it would be a great motivator to actually see work being done.

I was wondering if anyone has tried it. Thanks

I have not. I saw a segment on the news and it showed kids getting quite a workout. I thought I'd like to try it. I'd be interested to know what others think too.

My thought is anything that gets you moving is beneficial.

I'd be interesting in knowing also, as I saw a Disney plug & play DDR @ Gamestop. It doesn't require a game system.

I have DDR, and I do it sometimes for exercise. It is REALLY fun, and it definitely doesn't feel like you are exercising. There are different levels, and on the workout mode, it doesn't stop if you mess up. On the regular mode, if you miss so many steps, it will stop and say you failed, but on workout mode it keeps going and assumes that you are burning calories just by trying to get the steps! After each song, it shows you how many calories you burned during that song, as well as your cumulative calories burned. The cardio is great, and I would definitely recommend it!
