DDR

No, not Deutsche Demokratische Republik, Dance Dance Revolution.

I am way out of shape, but hate 99.99% of all forms of exercise.  Diet is die with a t at the end, and exercise is it's buddy.  Seriously though, I'm trying to eat smaller portions and foods that are better for me, without actually being on a diet.  I also need to increase my exercise level, enter DDR.

For those of you in the dark ages, you can get a version of this for Xbox 360, complete with a little mat.  The idea of the game is simple.  Dance around and tap your feet on the arrows where the screen prompts you while a song plays.  Nice theory.  Reality is that you bounce around like a loony, cussing and huffing and puffing and sweating, all the while reading the screen where it says "Boo" after you've missed your step.

It does start to get a bit easier, but I realize there's a reason I never dance at parties.  I can't.  I just lack the rhythm, coordination, or basic modicum of coolness required to dance.

At least I'm getting a decent workout from it. ;-)
