RE: New (to me) form of exercise !

[Guest guest]

Awesome Bette! Don't you love it!?

I know I sweat buckets when I do it. I have coordination issues, myself, but

I can actually do it if the music is strong enough. I'd recommend the Disney

one. There is Disney music, but also other music. I like it so much more

than the regular Konami mix. Also, there is a Jungle Book one that might be

good for the kids if they need something a little bit easier.

What I do now is set up a fan right next to me and a big thing of water.

That way I can play as long as I want and have my water and not get

overheated. I think next time I do it I'm going to keep track of my heart

rate. I bet I get WAY up there!
