So Out of Shape

Here's my workout course, it takes about 72 minutes on average, and sometimes it'll pick up the DDR 10's that should be 11, 12, or 13's (but very rarely). I recommend using a massive workout course to limit excuses (no breaks between songs + no pause button = no excuses). Make sure you stretch first, and consider lowering the difficulty levels if your having trouble or aren't up to it, 72mins non-stop is pretty tough.

But the argument that some people play with barely moving vs. others that move violently applies. Also it's more like tap dancing than dancing which I bet burns more calories, perhaps you can find how many calories are burned by Tap Dancing or what's the other one oh, Clogging.

The best way would be to wear a heart rate monitor which can calculate your calories expended based on weight and heart rate over time, that's a more accurate measurement but it requires a $30-$60 device that you'd have to wear.

That`s the reason why the workout mode will never give you the right number of calories burned.
It`s depend on playing style and experience very much.
So I believe that I burn a lot more calories on an 10 or 11 than someone like calimist (just for example)



Very good Idea!
I like it!
Even if I don`t have enough money to buy one at the moment...but a have a blood pressure monitor...it`s not exactly the same but it can give me my heart rate to
And blood pressure monitors are very cheap (about 10 Euro for the cheapest ones here)

Well can we choose whether or not to use the set game? I mean it would be a little bland to me to use the same game all the time. I mean The set game will be just that but users should be able to pick if they want to use another game and make their own course and convert the numbers based on what was already posted.

i agree with Android. what if i wanted to do Extreme 2 or SM?

I think you should be able to do the course, or just individual songs.

It's a hell of a lot easier to just all do the same thing, if you're going to take part in the challenge with everyone else :{

To be honest yes it is but it would be the individuals responsibility to do the correct conversions if they choose to do it. I'm not saying everybody just go do your own thing but my PS2 gives me major problems sometimes and my mat sucks cause my down button is dying. Again...

---

I'm gonna give this a go tomorrow. workout mode kinda fails, so I'll probably just make a course.

---

Why tomorrow? The sign up thread doesn't start until wednesday and the courses don't start until about a week later.

---

I just want to share that I think this thread title should be changed to "So In Shape" and Lord Toon should shop the Caramel S. banner to say the same thing.

Just workout mode in general (and I haven't been reading the thread lmao)

For those taking the Courses approach, I would suggest using shuffle to keep the courses as fresh as possible and to eliminate the possibility of making new courses.

My idea of a course for stamina and workout would be the following, all on shuffle:

01 All
02 of
03 the
04 ten
05 footers
06 that
07 I
08 can
09 cram
10 into
11 one
12 course
13 with
14 maybe
15 LUV
16 TO
17 ME
18 thrown
19 in
20 to
21 keep
22 things
23 fresh
24 LET THEM MOVE
25 g.m.d.

Sounds about right =V
I'm gonna be out of this until my stuff arrives, though.

I played ddr yesterday and saw this guy playing in Difficult.
He made it look harder than it was supposed to be.

Mhh, is there some possibility to make costume marathons (without mods) on ITG? with 20 songs? That would be the best for me.
I just don`t know how to make them.

I`d like to put songs between 7 and 10 in there... + maybe one 11 for the end.

---

You mean an arcade machine? No, it is not possible without hacking. Not unless the machine is running OpenITG. In which case it's possible that Custom Courses is turned on. You would need to make a .crs file and put it in In The Groove 2\Courses on your USB drive.

no, I mean on my PC at home... here is no Arcade.
I`m, using OpenITG here at home .....

---

Can someone with DDRMAX 2 USA please check how many user created courses can be made, and how long each one can be?

Same way you add courses to StepMania then.


3 courses, 20 songs max per course.

And how to add courses to Stepmania?

Sorry, I don`t know.... I`m still new to this whole stuff....
