I was wondering if DDR/Pump is a good substitute for jogging/running to lose weight because it is ALOT more enjoyable w/ music then just running outside.. btw DDR(Dance Dance Revolution) if anyones ever played it is a dancing game .. on the little pad with the arrows, after a few songs I sweat like a mofo.
-
DDR as good as running?
-
Hmmm... There have been many testimonies of people losing a lot of weight from playing this game, but most of these people are crazy about the game and love it to no end. It could be a substitute for running, but you'd have to play for as long as you would be running for. 30 minutes a day maybe?
-
I'm guessing you'd also have to be pretty good at the game to get any actual type of work out done with it.
-
Sure it's as good as running...it probably beats it. Any activity that gets you moving and your heart pumping is good for you.
-
as long as you are constantly moving at a high pace then it is, but if it is a sluggish pace then absolutely not.
-
any moving activity is good for you, sometimes you have to slow down to a sluggish rate if your heart rate is too high
-
true.
