First of all, I don’t care about losing much weight. I kind of like the weight I am at right now, I just want to maintain that weight maybe lose 5 lbs or so. I am looking for a relatively inexpensive way to get more exercise in a day, but there are a few problems.
I have some severe stomach problems and my doctor told me not to continue martial arts or do sit ups, pilates, crunches, or anything else that would strain my stomach muscles more than a brisk walk
I live in a REALLY bad, small, backwater area, so I’m afraid to go for long walks like I used too when I was younger, and no one around here will walk with me
There isn’t a gym near me and the closest one is not worth the membership unless you want nothing but upper body workouts, and exercises I’m not allowed to do
We don’t have anything like a bowling alley, community center, skating rink, basketball court, or other sports center around here (as I said small, backwater area and I can’t afford to move)
So I was thinking of buying DDR and using workout mode. I’ve never played something like that before, but I don’t think it would bother my stomach too much, it seems like a good cardio program, it’s inexpensive, and more importantly I don’t have to leave home and get mugged xD. I’ve heard that people use DDR for exercise and I was just hoping for some feedback. Does it actually get your heart rate up and burn enough calories? Which version should I get?
Thanks so much for reading!
I have some DDR for the Wii. There is a workout mode on it. I have played that game every now and then and if you do it for a good amount of time it is a really good cardio workout. I would definitely try it out!
