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

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~ ^_^

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. |

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. |

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.

 You can't keep running from what you're trying to find. Group: Official Member Posts: 5,030 Joined: Oct 2004 Member No: 54,096 |
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 |

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. |
