Great tips on losing weight. I'll be using some of them for sure. The hardest one for me is not eating at night. I could easily consume one ddr session's worth of calories after 10 pm when I'm not even really hungry, just in the mood for junkfood.
I'm probably about 190 these days, but according to the bmi, with my height I need to get down to about 175 to not be overweight. Now that summer's here I'll be hitting the DDR hard.
As to the original post, and the reason I'm replying, I'm not sure that weight is the main factor in stamina. There are plenty of people heavier than I am that have more stamina and others lighter that have less stamina. It seems to be more about how long you've been playing, how often you play and your stance. My stamina was absolute crap for the longest time, then I read some tips on improving your ddr stamina, and found out I was doing all the wrong things. I was playing on the balls of my feet, stepping too high, stomping too hard, and hitting the pad too far from the center. I spent a week relearning ddr with a new flatfooted stance, and it immediately improved my stamina. The next week I passed rhythm and police for the first time (although I only got a C, and felt like I needed an oxygen tank afterward).
Judging by the songs the OP said he could pass, I'm sure he already knows these things, but I just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else didn't. |
