Does anyone else still think DDR is cool?


So, immediately after finishing the project for Free Arts of Arizona, I feel like I quickly fell into a little slump. I had been talking with Holli about all the things we need to do to keep up with the exercise and good food choices, and yet exercising seemed minimal and food choices were decent, but I was lost on portion control. So, here I am, quickly trying to get back into the swing of things before the next project.

Dance Dance Revolution. Does anyone play/do it anymore? It has a workout mode which I’ve used several times before, though I’m skeptical about most exercise video games. Typically, we had tracked our calories, but at that point, I was running 3+ miles every other day, and any time the statistics popped up afterward showing the amount of calories we burned and the ‘equivalent’ of how much we jogged, I balked outright. There was no way. So, now, instead of calories I am going to do it by time…because I’m fairly certain that a half-hour is a half-hour is a half-hour. And that’s what I did tonight: 30 minutes of dancing on DDR.

If any of you still use DDR as a fitness tool and it’s helped you, let me know. I’d love to hear.
