Dance Dance Revolution : Play and Burn Calories Too
I’ve been hearing about this video game where you learn dance moves and burn calories at the same time, and I was dying to try it out, and I finally got my wish recently at some friend’s house this past weekend, where I danced the night away, at least cyberly speaking.
I was literally dripping with sweat by the time my turns were over, and I was more than a little frustrated that I couldn’t seem to get good scores (yes, I have two left feet, and yes I was playing with highly competitive people and also more coordinated people). This might be the best piece of horizon elliptical reviews you could buy, and it doesn’t even take up space…
Here’s how it works. You see a character on the screen, and above them you see arrows flashing on the screen, then going off into the top of the TV set.
You can do it two ways, you can get a better score by staying ahead of the characters moves by following the arrows moving to the side, up and back, or you can follow the character, which isn’t recommended because then your score will be lousy.
This game could definitely be addicting, and games like this are aiming to get kids off the couch and in action in an effort to curb the childhoos obesity rate. It is the pioneer in video games that strive to make kids move, and more than just their thumbs.
It also might be good for increasing coordination and endurance, which are two things I obviously need to work on!
