When will SwoleShack FINALLY learn and take the DDR-pill?
>In 2007, researchers from the La Crosse Exercise and Health Program at the University of Wisconsin studied the health benefits of Dance Dance Revolution. The research found that DDR players burned an average of 5.9 calories per minute when playing "light mode." Players burned 6.7 calories per minute when playing "standard mode" and 8.1 calories per minute when playing "difficult mode."

now only 60 minutes gameplay on expert will roughly make u lose 486, be it 90 minutes 729 calories...
It is way more fun than jogging and all of the other cardio excersises and is WAY more addicting than jogging etc. Best of all, u can do it in your own home if you just buy a DDR pad and install stepmania 5 or some emulator to play the real DDR.
i want to believe therefore

i used to do this in high school before wrestling matches to cut weight and it worked really well. it’s a great workout
HEY YO CAPTAIN JACK!
I spent most of high school playing.
It's a shame that metal mats are rare or $300+. The soft mats last a handful of songs on hard.
You put a yoga matt or like a lifting mat under it it will last as a lot longer. I had one of the offical mats lasted 5 or 6 years of almost daily play.

I think that's probably with novices. Once you get the movment pattern down you stop using so much speed and find more effecient ways to hit steps with less wasted and jolting movments. I imagine the calories burned would shoot way down except on like jump steps.
what about the soft ones with the foam padding in them, any experience with those? i really wanna play at home but i do not wanna spend hundreds of dollars on pads
I haven't tried one yet but it's probably the same thing. Just glued to the bottom. I'd probably get the mat and pad separately because the pads lose their cushion quick if you do cardio on them. The pad I got for jump rope was destroyed inside of 3 months.
there's no comparison, soft pads are not suitable for hard songs and break easily
i have pic rel for many years now and only need to change the single arrow pad once in a while if it breaks. Really worth the expense if you make it a regular thing. It's my favorite type of cardio
I'm not Filipino anymore
>anymore
is such a thing even possible?
wha-what happend?
my pads all broke, good times tho. now that electronics suck less i mite do it again
I knew someone that had a fracture from going too hard on this guy was on crutches and a cast for a whole
Politicians don't want you to know DDR is actually the best way to train for slaughtering kindergartners with an AR-15.
>peripherals either suck ass and have a short life expectancy or are custom made and cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars
I want to go back but there’s only one cabinet near me and it constantly has a line
ddr means something completely different in german. just look at these homosexuals.
I injured my right foot playing Pump it Up a month ago and was able to get back to playing only a few days back. My stamina also took a hit because of the break so now I need to grind that back as well.
