Wow. I should try this out. Maybe it'll give me an advantage in volley ball.ErMaC wrote:DDR is only aerobic for about 90 seconds at a time, unless you play Oni/Nonstop mode.
It's still really good exercise, especially for building leg muscles. I'm this skinny ass white guy with thighs that could crush your skull now. My shins actually look almost cancerous - the muscle bulges out like a bigass tumor on the back of my leg. But I've got mad hops now ^_^
A couple summers ago when I still only really played the home version, I would sometimes spend one day on a weekend doing DDR for maybe 6 hours or so with little to no break. Now THAT'S good exercise.
But I don't recommend using home versions for people serious about competing, but if you're just interested in the exercise, go for it.

[quote="SilverAeon"]People always tell me about how much weight theyve lost playing DDR. Im not doubting them cause ive seen lots of drops in body mass after extended periods of playing Dance Dance Revolution. [quote]
Hmm...I've never actually played the game, and after reading that, I think I'd better avoid it. If I were any thinner I'd probably be dead. (Gaikotsu = "bones" or "skeleton" in Japanese. It's not just a clever nickname).
Besides, I can't dance for shit.
