RE: New (to me) form of exercise !

[Guest guest]

That's great! I just bought a PS2 for my daughter, and got the mats on

EBay. Warning: one of my mats aren't working properly because the sensors

aren't in the correct position and my daughter tells me that her friends

have had the same problem.

At Costco, I saw a new toy that is similar to the DDR pads, only its a

camera that detects what you are doing. Same concept, only no mats. I

haven't seen any reviews on how well they work, so if anyone out there has

this new camera set up, please share. The DDR has a workout mode that

calculates calories burned based on your weight and the intensity of the

workout. You set the goal of how many calories, and it tells you when you

reach the goal. Pretty Cool!

By the way, my daughter and I played on it last night, and we laughed so

hard my stomach hurt today. So that MUST be good.

New (to me) form of exercise !

Tory and others,

I had so much fun today! I found a PlayStation on eBay for a reasonable

price and then found Dance Dance Revolution--also reasonable. Both items

arrived

today and with the help of my older son we set it up. We bopped around on

those dance mats for HOURS! I had no idea it would be so much fun, while

at the

same time providing great exercise. But an added and unexpected plus is

that

I can see it being of great benefit to my two kids (for those of you who

don't

know, they're mild to moderately special needs with some neurological

issues). I was so pleasantly surprised that they willingly played on

these things

and actually did very well at it! My older son wants to get a set now for

the

junior high youth group he is assistant pastor for... How FUN it is!

Bette in CA

happy to be thinner enough to bop around on a DDR pad!
