Hello, I am a 15 year old male, and after realizing i gained 9 pounds in only 3 months, and looking at my stomache, seems like it went there. So my friend got into DDR, and i decided to follow suit. To me, DDR isnt just excersize, its also very fun. I have lost 7 pounds in a period of...oh a month and a half, playing around 45-60 minutes a day, drinking 3 bottles of water ^_^. All you need is a pad, any will do, and the game (total around 60-70USD). Once your skill level gets good, and you find that the crappy generic pad slides too much while doing complex dance moves, you might want to invest in a better pad, such as the DDR Extreme 2.1 (www.levelsix.com) which is in the mail for me right now ^_^. Also, i must stress that you should stretch for around 5 minutes before playing, and start with slow songs for a warmup, procede to the faster songs, then when you figure its time to stop, do a couple of slow songs for a cool down. For great motivation try to get a friend to do it with you. Hope this helps, DDR sure has helped me!
