Dance Dance Revolution!
I have mentioned before how my college-aged son, Andy and his friends have found a video game called DDR (Dance Dance Revolution). They are all pretty hooked on it, and it looks like great arobic exercise to me.
Here is a picture of Andy (on the right) and August (on the left) playing DDR.
They are playing the Sony Playstation II version of the game in this picture.
Well, Andy took his playstation off to college with him, but left his X-Box with us, so I bought the X-Box version of DDR for myself. It is definitely more fun than a lot of other exercise, but I can only make it for about 4 minutes, then I have to rest for 10 before I try again.
You will *not* see a picture of me trying to do DDR until I get as thin as the boys are!

I have seen kids play this in a video arcade. The really good ones are amazing. It is incredible how coordinated these kids are. And yes, it looks like a tremendous aerobic workout especially when they get to the higher levels.

It's a perfect exercise regimen for geeks.
1. It involves a computer.
2. It involves competition.
3. You can do it by yourself.
4. You can post your results.
5. You can play it on the internet.
6. It doesn't look like work.
7. Jocks won't like it - because Geeks can do it.
