[azngrl7691]

do u guys play ddr?(dance dance revolution) like i used to play alot and like does it really help u lose that much weight? becuz im thinking of starting again and i have like really fat ugly legs. do u think itll help?

[ArtificialBlonde]

i dunno..but ddr is incredibly funn and it gives ME a workout..that's saying something

[Nicolatofu]

any type of dancing really strengthens your leg muscles. i've never played that before but i dance, and dancing is dancing so i'm sure it will help

[177emories]

i played it was fun for awhile but it really doesn't help you lose weight,.

[PinAy_Sk8Er]

I play DDR...but I don't play as much as I used to. I think it'll help you lose weight.

[SFoT_Freak]

yeah i play it, its fun! i found somewhere in the newspaper that someone lost more than 200 pounds by playing ddr.

[HelloSunshine]

first...there's a topic on this in entertainment, but seeing that you're new here, it's ok!! hmm..I've never played DDR actually, but I want to sometime

[WishfullDreamer]

i've never played it...seems fun though! i'm gonna put in a vote for playing sports instead though cuz i know they help me keep in shape

[LeSLiE]

My mom told me that some people lost like a TON of weight by playing it 20 minutes a day. She also said that they were extremely good. So I don't know... I guess if you play it a whole crapload and you get really really good, then maybe you could lose sum weight?

[jambaJUICE]

Idk, i never lost weight, and i used to play ddr a lot, like 1, 2+ hours a day.
>< & not that slow crap.

I had the pirated versions, so they were easier to play.
I always did maniac level and like remixes of uhh boom boom dollar, butterfly, la senorita, gimme gimme gimme, & paranoia.

Yeah.. I broke 2 dance pads, too..

Hehe, a couple of my friends would come over, and we'd do the fancy shizz.
Where like you'd loop through your feet and do the fancy hopping and crap.

Ahh, good times.. good times.

i loveee playing butterfly on ddr. =D i thought the hardest version was 'tricks' not sure though.. maniac is harder? x_x

[jambaJUICE]

Mine were pirated...

So yeah, lol. They were whack.
Most of it was in Japanese.

[Euphoria Rose]

^^ Mine was pirated too. I think you could lose wieght if you play it for three hours straight every day of the week. My opinion, though. I really don't know.

[LiLrEbL365]

i have like 3 dif ddr games...hella fun but i left my dance pad @ someones house over the weekend xp i havent lost any weight from it but i'm sure you could...you can lose weight from any physical exercise

[bad_girl]

i found somewhere in the newspaper that someone lost more than 200 pounds by playing ddr.

*ahem *coughs* 200 pounds??
-----------------------------------

a heart is not a play thing, a heart is not a toy; but if u want it broken, give it to a boi...
if it wasnt supposed to heart ..it wouldnt b called a crush

come to my site..

[miss barnes]

naw i aint never played that but any type of cardio strengthens your body

[laylooo]

on mine, theres like a section that says workout mode or w/e and they count the calories that you burn

i usually play it on my controller, playing on the matt is too tiring haha

[*stephinika*]

yeah i have it actually...its quite fun and it works as a good cardio workout.

[tofumonzter]

i don't know about ddr, but i prefer running and swimming.

[KissMe2408]

yah ddr really helps, but you gotta do like 45 min of it on the fat burn or cardio section to really see some nice changees

[gigiopolis]

Nah. Just get on a treadmill and run, I say.

[SFoT_Freak]

My mom told me that some people lost like a TON of weight by playing it 20 minutes a day. She also said that they were extremely good.

^^If you play it lot a day, you'll lose a lot of calories/weight and at the same time, you'll get better on playing DDR. One time, when I was at Six Flags, and it was really crowded, nothing else to do, so my brother and I played the ddr extreme machine (the songs/games we don't have at home) a lot and we accidently lost a pound or 2.

[br0ken smile]

i would think it would, if you play it alot. I played it alot over the summer,not so much anymore

[*salcha*]

I play DDR...but I don't play as much as I used to. I think it'll help you lose weight.

(grabs DDR machine and starts dancing furiously)

[lilJdawg]

yeah, i play ddr. it's so much fun. you will lose weight if you do it on the fast songs, but if you do it on the slow ones, you won't see any results.

[hiromi]

I LOVE DDR!! Buuuut I do not know if you can lose THAT much weight. I mean, if you're one of thost DDR players who jump in every song while doing the steps, then you might, but overall, you may lose a few pounds once in a while

[lilnatcat]

Well, I still play DDR, I believe that if you play a lot of it as in lots lots & lots, it'll help u lose a bit of weight depending how frequently you play it, also it stengthens ur leg muscles coz ur dancing and kinda stomping on the mat a lot~ ^_^

[tresa1992]

Well, yes.

I read an article about a girl who lost weight and DDR being her workout.

It's a great way to lose weight because it's fun and a workout.

[Looow]

I suck at DDR which is why I don't play =/

[Looow]

I suck at DDR which is why I don't play =/

[aicilah999]

i play DDR at my friends house but i suck.

[yukichan]

i dont play ddr..i saw a newspaper article that said ddr helped them lose weight...

[Wishful_Dream]

ddr helps you lose weight. i'm kinda bad at it, so i'll go play again. lols. i haven't played it for like, SOOOO long. too long to express. 2 years? lols dunno. =p

[swe3ttemptasian]

umm, i play it to burn calories.. but i mean you aren't going to be able to like... tighten your legs.. so that its not "fat"... take like.. ballet? iduno.. Ballet is helping me tighten my thighs.. i've got huge thighs lol

[Zer_Wil_De_Mach]

i play ddr alot moslty everyday lol...but idk if itll really help lose weight...i think it does....

[angelshortipnai]

I play DDR! ^_^i think it does help u lose weight 'cause u get all sweaty and u move around a lot... if u do the "nonstop" level or w/e, that will really help u.. i think

[Zer_Wil_De_Mach]

ya true....i think i lost weight like that...i've been playing it for about 2 years now....and its really fun....its good if the beats fast cuz you move faster...

[Just_Dream]

Since you're exercising your legs, I think it oculd help. It's like logging.. You could probably lose weight if you play enough of it. The thing is that when you run on a treadmill, you keep running and running. For DDR, you're not really pushing your knees and legs that much, so it might not help as much... And also, after one song, it stops and yea.. You're not supposed to stop

But I noticed that a lot of the DDR freaks who are really good at it are pretty thin or got thinner (if they used to be somewhat chubby).. Bleh.

[Zer_Wil_De_Mach]

lol ya i know...usually when i ask the ddr freaks y are they so good...they are all saying that they run...thats why they are fast...

[perfectxflaw23]

I don't play personally, because I'm just way too uncoordinated for something like that (swimming and running, that's how I get my exercise). But two of my friends do. That's how Stacey (one of them) keeps in shape, but the other girl just has a really high metabolism. I'd say it's a great way. And if it's not enough, try walking/jogging.

[angelrevelation]

i got it for Christmas! it's fun. but i'm bad at it, cuz i havent had time to play it at ALL but i probably will since i have this whole week off for break

this guy at my school did this project about DDR... that dancing so much (for only a few minutes or something) would be as much as running a mile... not sure if that's true, but its possible

o and in my DDR there's an option that tells you how many calories you're burning, so that helps

[toodlepops.]

yeah, i guess. prolly only if you dance to fast songs and do it often. =)

[d0rkbaby]

actually on some of the ddr machines they have a "weight loss" option. its pretty good but then most of the time they -lock- it cause the ppl waiting start getting mad.

it has actually been proven to help you lose weight. haha i read an aritcle in the newspaper about it.

[sleepieeeXOXange...]

dance dance revolution? I LOVE THAT GAME!! yeah, if you play it a lot, i'm sure you can lose some weight. that game totally beats working out

[misoshiru]

i dont do ddr, but i play sports

[thundergirl14]

yes i have that game and i play it non-stop. i truly think it will because i think i lost some weight, but that's because i play it constantly

[rOckThISshYt]

what is that??

[maliitashun]

DDR makes my calves hurt.. well, whenever I play, I play for a long period of time.. about an hour to 3.. or 4. :X

but I've stopped playing now.. eh -__-

[lovemeofrme]

omg...yes it does..my friend does it and he plays soccer and he is like..don'tmean to say this but really hott and has a great body..but we're just friends but yeah he plays and he is really good and in really good shape too

[azngrl7691]

lol thanx guys

[babyxyelloe]

DUDE! [: DDR is majorly cool . lols! im a nerd, i know. anywhooooo yeah. i guess so.

[__PASS10NAT3]

hmm.. i read sumwhere that dancing helps yooh lose weight.. soo ya.. i guess it does help.. <3

[apple.]

All i can say is DDR is fun, but i suck .

[iheartsimba]

well, yeah...you are dancing.,..and working your muscles. i need to get me a DDR. To bad I dont feel like paying for a playstation also =/

[sheepy]

oh man i want to play ddr

[sammehmyst]

it wont help the people who suck at it.

like me. =)

[*Fallen_Fairy*]

ddr can be a great work out if you do it for 30 minutes to and hour non stop.
but if you want to tone your legs you can do leg curls at a gym or if you live near the beach run a a few miles in the sand, its such a great workout

[brand0n]

hahaa i broke like a million pads

[blondiebombshell]

wow i suck at ddr...but i know some kid that lost 100 pounds playing it...

[ilauqh]

i have it and i haven't played in a while. ppl tell me that u lose weight but i never really did bc i didnt play like daily or anything.. but try it and see if u do loose weight.

[c0oki3_m0n$tah]

it might "strengthen" ur body, but i dunno if u'll lose any weight...or will it? i dunno..i never tried.

[azn9122379]

Well, im not a girl, but I played DDR since July and I lost 20 ounds...I dunno for you, but It helped me...its faster if you go on a treadmil though..or sometihng that is actually for workout...
::Edit::
I played for about 20 minutes a day, playing things like Max300, Ledgend of Max and Can't Stop Falling in Love -Speed Mix-...you know...the fast songs

[*mona lisa*]

its proven that it does help you lose weight. but you have to do it constantly.
