Comments on: Dance Dance Revolution: Make It Your Solution! http://elainechristine.edublogs.org/2008/09/30/videos/ Another excellent Edublogs.org weblog Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:01:28 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: anb81 http://elainechristine.edublogs.org/2008/09/30/videos/comment-page-1/#comment-13 anb81 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:49:52 +0000 http://elainechristine.edublogs.org/?p=34#comment-13 I have learned that dancing is a creative way to stay in shape and the video game DDR is just that dancing your way to being fit and having fun while participating. Also schools and celebrities are participating in keeping students healthy from a young age. Finally she is making aware the controversies of how we got to this point and she focuses on children. I think dancing is a great solution for people to get fit when they do not like the idea of a hard work out to get fit.

I was in high school when they started it, but my younger sisters loved it. They also had some videos games that ran on Playstation but used stationary bicycles as controllers. When word got to the high school we were all bugged that we never had that. It's Gen-Next exercise. I also had a friend in high school that lost 50lbs- the only change to his lifestyle was DDR. I'm sure this is an extreme case, but eye-opening none the less.

I really enjoy how you're bringing today's technology and fads into the picture and not just focusing on adding dance into physical education, even though that is the ultimate goal. I think in today's world where fitness is such a fad, it is important to keep people motiviated to want to try new and exciting things as opposed to the mundane worlds of the gym. And this is especially important for kids with short attention spans. I think your blog offers great insight into the Healthy program and offers whomever reads it a possible outlook on the future of fitness.

I didn't know it was such a craze! I was wondering if you were going to discuss DDR–seems like an important topic that connects nicely to your issue. I didn’t know it was such a craze!
