DDR on a Monday
It was tough, but I got off my ass and DDR'd tonight. I shoulda DDR'd Saturday but I was at a party. Sunday I got sucked into Rift. Today ... it was tough to get going but I really want to turn the weight around, my pants are tight again!
Tonight I used DDR X on the PS2. I started with a couple courses, 5 songs in a row pre-set. These are a bit more intense than just picking 5 songs since there's hardly any pause between them, perhaps 10 seconds loading screens. The first 2 sets (10 songs) were a higher difficulty and had some complicated steps that drove my HR up to around 150 at peak. I felt it was important to really give my metabolism a jumpstart. After that I went into a more basic difficulty and went to Endless mode which similarly spits 5 random songs at you at a time. (You can rest all you want between sets; I didn't rest.)
I did 45 minutes. It was easier stepping but constant. HR was down to more like 110 at the end. At a guess it was around 130 overall, I should have had the heart monitor Tegan got me on. Must get that out next time.
