thanks for the positive comments, i think kids and adults need to be shown that exercising and keeping fit is really simple and accessible to everyone.
i use my game at least once a day and it always feels good to know ive done some kind of a workout when normally i would just be sitting down...
I've made this game on my website and just wanted some feedback on the idea and whether it would be helpful to anyone.

Let me know what you think of it....
wow very good description there alex, thanks.
i'll probly look into how these programs work out calories used - programs like heart rate monitors etc.
if anyone finds out please post here. thanks and g'night!
great links bunny, thx!
are there any alternatives to using calorie counter that you guys have come across? i was thinking that calorie counters are more appropriate for people who want to lose weight - is that true?
starting myself, no way. i'm not actually concerned about my weight, more about endurance and stamina.
in my experience, the dancemat does make my heartrate go up so its not a total waste of time as i used to think.
like i said before how do these programs work out calories used?
what i mean is that in the DDR game thing it tells you how many calories youve used. i dont think the number is accurate because obviously, like u say, it depends on bmr etc - i was wondering how the game might work out the figure - maybe its not accurate but close?
thanks for the advice guys, obviously i understand that using something like DDR isn't a substitute for a really good workout at the gym or wherever but i thought i would be able to recommend it to my mom as she can use the dancemat thing at home. i just wanted to find out if theres a way i can...
(sorry about the forum - not sure how to move it to the right place, if you can please do.)
of course, the results of your workout are the best indication of doing a good workout but how about when you're actually doing the exercise? i refer to things like dancemat, treadmill, endurance...
i've started working out now and i always end up sweating but i want to know what i can use to work out whether i've had an effective workout-
i just want to improve my general fitness and i've bought a dancemat which tells you how many calories burned. however does anyone know how it actually...
thanks for the advice, and happy easter!!!!
i'd like to get fit in my own home and i've heard good things about how dancemat games use up lots of calories - dont know if its true but i thought it would be fun to check out and also my younger brothers and sisters can use it to.
HI,
first poster, and i want to get fit real soon! i hope you can help me, a friend has told me that i can start using a dancemat to get into shape before i pluck enough courage to get to the gym. i was wondering if anyone has used this before and whether it works...?
