I'm really glad I'm starting to play DDR more lately. For some reason I always feel like I get more of a workout playing DDR than anything else. I think it is because:
- you are pretty much running in place like on a treadmill.
- when playing on heavy you must twist your upper body and legs opposite of each other, working the "love handles" area of your hips.
- if you use the bar to play you are supporting almost your entire weight on your arms and that is definitely good for your biceps, shoulders and upper back muscles.
- you are forced to move your body in strange ways to keep your balance, which works your abs and your arms and of course your legs.I had ten Girl Scout cookies for breakfast. I feel pretty sick. A nice roast beef sandwich probably would have made me feel a lot better, but I had to finish editing a group lab so I couldn't go get one. I'm mad at myself and also the guy in my group who forgot to send me the damn graphs and tables that I was adding in and editing last night. If he had remembered I could have gone and frolicked today instead of working on this crap.
Then again, if I had finished the lab last night I couldn't have sat around looking up porn. I guess the world is full of trade-offs.
I feel sooo sick. Damn you, Girl Scouts! I wish I was home instead of this insipid engineering building.

I agree. DDR is both a great game and an incredible workout.
I saw that you dropped by my page the other day, and I just wanted to say that I love the way you write... although you must get that all the time.
Props to you.
