The music is ok, but it works. I start out with a couple of slow(er) songs, then go to a couple of fast ones, then back to the slow ones. I find that near the end, I miss more steps – LOL.<\/p>\n
I did 30 minutes today!! In the workout mode of DDRMax2 you can set workout goals of time or calories burned. I set mine to 15 minutes. It tells you when you reach that goal, then if you keep going, it resets it and tells you when you reach it again. After each song it tells you how many minutes are left, calories burned, cumulative calories, and equivalent measures in jogging, jumprope and swimming. So I theoretically burned 200 calories (or so, I forget the number), and jogged a mile and a half. As I'll never, ever actually jog<\/i> it's kinda cool. I didn't plan on doing 30 minutes, but when I normally would have said “screw this” the little timer said, “aw, c'mon, it's only 3 more minutes….”<\/p>\n
The thing keeps track of your weight, and calories burned each day. Very nifty. It's a lot less boring than a workout video, though I really should try a few of those as well. Ah well, the playstation is a start, eh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
