DDR: Where it went

Sep 12, 2011 14:57

You may have noticed I haven't been spamming the journal with DDR entries since July 18. The reason for that is I stopped doing DDR due to a foot injury, which as I reckon things, has just finished healing this week ( Read more... )

health, ddr

When I picked up DDR again I experienced a dull ache that would build into an almost debilitating pain as I went through the routines. It was coming from the muscle/tendon that stretches on the outside of your leg from your knee to under your foot ( ... )

You have a metal hard pad, right? I use a softpad, so I do it sockfooted - so no arch support at all during. Though, the pad is really thick and it feels like it cushions ... I have considered wearing shoes while doing it though, since I have a spare pad now.

Yes I got a Cobalt Flux pad because the soft/plastic pads just did not work for me. I hated how they would move and shift as I jumped and they always felt too flimsy. I tried a friend's foam pad and I didn't like the way it squished.

This could just be a difference between us, but I've never regretted going the extra mile to buy a metal pad. I never understood how people can function with the plastic pads.

I just never had the cash to go in on a hard pad when they were readily available. And I do like the cushy feeling of my Ignition pads...
