Video Games in Gym Class - DDR 101?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the olympics-of-the-mind dept.

Apparently, someone has become clued in that Dance Dance Revolution promotes physical activity, and a school in California is making use of that. Can I go back and retake gym?"

    Since Q3, my backflip hasn't been equaled in ANY gym class.

    Have you ever seen someone jump around like a rabbit for 45 minutes and ending with a tripple backflip into a canyon, while shooting a 3pointer upwards, carrying 150pounds of armour ?
    Ha, I can't wait till this shit gets approved for the olympics !

    Personally, I like this idea a lot better. Not that I like or dislike punk music, but it just seems so right.
