Of curse

,


there is!

 


The game is played on a dance pad with four arrow panels: left, down, up, and right, or 6 arrows (the 4 main directions plus right and left diagonal panels, known as solo mode).These panels are pressed using the player's feet, in response to arrows that appear on the screen in front of the player. The arrows are synchronized to the general rhythm or beat of a chosen song, and success is dependent on the player's ability to time and position his or her steps accordingly.

Why not? Buy yourself a heart rate monitor to track calories burned etc. and keep a log of your performance. Though, be sure to treat it like traditional exercise, i.e. warm up for a few minutes before any hard exertions and cool down/stretch after you're done. Vary your routine to prevent any repetitive motion injuries. Hydrate before you start (2 glasses of water) and after you are done.

Play, sweat and HAVE FUN!
