I calculated that playing Max 300 40 times in a row without breaks in-between (1 hour) for someone my size (I weigh 240 pounds) will theoretically burn about 1,800 calories. So playing 5 to 7 hours of hardcore DDR per day will require a Michael Phelps diet.

This is serious exercise folks.

DDR Extreme is my favorite form of cardio.
Previously I had been playing for around thirty to forty consecutive minutes a few times a day (however long it takes to do 21 songs), but now I’m doing two sessions of about 15-20 minutes (12 songs) each. Today I burned 846 kcal.
Oh, I play mostly Heavy, btw.

Of course it wasn’t always that way. I’ve had DDR since Jan ’07 and I didn’t get to Standard until about March of this year and I worked my way up to Heavy from there.

I’ve lost about 88lbs this year, but I also overhauled my diet and implemented other forms of exercise (situps, crunches, pushups, weight training at the gym)…

Even so, I would say that DDR substantially added to my weight loss.

A KCal is a Calorie. It is actually a “kilocalorie”, which is 1000 calories, but when, for example, a food label says that it has 100 Calories per serving, it actually means 100 KCal. It’s confusing, and I’m not sure why they do it, except that it might unnerve consumers to see that something contains 100,000 calories.

Kcal just stands for kilocalorie, it’s the exact same thing as a Calorie. It’s a more technical term, but its really just a Calorie (just like how it appears on the back of your food).

DDR is a good way to lose weight ive been playing DDR Supernova and i can feel myself getting into shape. but with mine it doesnt say swimming or jogging etc. it justs says how many miles and how many kcal youve burned. i dont kno what kcal meant but i think its alot.

Believe it or not, I actually lost nearly 70 pounds with ddr in about 7 months. It’s so amazing! I only weight 320lbs now!
