For all the talk of video games causes lethargy and unhealthy
lifestyles in children, Dance Dance Revolution has always been the ultimate argument against it. DDR
is a game that really gets the player moving, having to step in rhythm to the song as arrows fly up the screen – it has
always been a great cardiovascular exercise (and may also
help children with ADHD). 24 Hour Fitness has inked a deal
with Konami to incorporate Dance Dance Revolution arcade machines in their Kids' Clubs. In return, Konami will
insert a 30-day pass to the popular gym.
Video game players get healthier, and health-conscious kids turn into gaming addicts - sounds like a perfect deal for
both companies. What are some other arcade games that you wouldn't mind seeing in a gym? You can find the nearest 24
Hour Fitness center here.

Would be fun to hook up a cycling or running machine to those old Olympic button bashing games.

DDR hasn't had an update in 3 years. Many DDR players have moved on to In the Groove or Pump it Up.

I'll wait for Dance Dance Revolution Revolution. You'll just have to move your arm around a lot.

what do u mean it hasnt had an update. it has 4 already.
I myself own DDR, DDR Max2, DDR Extreme and Dancing Stage fusion.
They are awesome games and if u play them at the heavy/hard difficulty they really give you a cardio workout. After playing DDR extreme on Heavy for about 20 min you can see the effects of the workout. you start to sweat, breath deeply and everything

LOL I love how you noobs claim that you've moved to Pump it up from DDR, when we've been playing PUI and DDR since it was DDR 3rd Mix. Sounds like you Noob Nerds are bored
