Good Times with DDR
Our new evening ritual, when we both have time, is exercising with DDR. So far no one has been brave? enough to join us, but Sarah and I are having a merry time. Last night, we played with the settings and discovered that it is fun to be tipsy and drunk. That might actually have been when I got my first A. Of course, that is because we picked a slow song without any two-note steps, because the pads don't register left/right or up/down combinations, for unknown reasons. Then we tried some of the songs with 300 or more BPM. It was pretty fast, but with low enough stream that I could hit quite a few. All in all, it was a good time. Now if only we had the setting that counted how many calories we burned...

Its probably more fun if you don't think about calories. Burning them is just a nice bonus. And then there's the cardio effect, also very good. I bet if you took the pads out to the lounge you'd get some takers (and maybe a large audience too) because its hard to watch without wanting to try it. But its okay if you practice for a little while longer first...So you'll look like an expert. ;)
It will take a long while before I achieve even "looking like an expert to beginners" status, as I tend to fall over if I try to use both feet. Of course, since I fall over just walking, this is not surprising. Maybe by the time I graduate...
