How To Lose Weight at the Arcade // Dance Dance Revolution 

I remember the days where AAA meant no greats and jumps added 2 to your combo aha everything is so different now. I had to take a break from DDR for a WHILE but now I am back to it and continuing my Journey 💪🏼😎

Good luck dude! i'm rooting for ya! I've been slacking off because of work and family stuff I need to get back to my plan and stick with it

I really and truthfully only play DDR for the Exercise Component and for how fun it is. I don't know if I'll ever be good enough to compete for scores but that was never a big thing to me anyways.

First of all I am so glad to hear this. I am already down several pounds with my final "goal" being around 230 (will evaluate from there if I should still be losing weight or just maintaining that weight) I've heard so many horror stories of people having health issues in their early 30's because of being overweight and living unhealthy lifestyles. Lets me and you both NOT be part of that group lets be Healthy for our friends, family, and most importantly ourselves. I played a TON of DDR/ITG2 when I was younger and was able to stay fit. I quit for so many years but I say let's both get back to it and STAY fit this time. I'm looking into getting a Metal Dance Pad for my Garage so I can be sure to play at least 2 times a week after I lose a lot of weight. (just need to save up some money LOL) Good luck on your journey! I hope you stay up to date with my channel to see my progress and that it'll keep motivating you to keep doing what you're doing and ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS! Please keep me updated with your progress whenever you can because believe it or not sometimes I need some motivation as well 😄

Thank You! I was on a business trip so I stopped for a while but I am back at it 😎

The way I process it is pretty much practice practice practice. When I first started playing I could barely pass beginner/basic but as time went by (and of course having a love/passion for Techno/Dance/EDM and rhythm games) I eventually got better and better. The way I learned how to play DDR was kind of unorthodox tho I grew up playing it with a PlayStation Controller using my fingers... not a Dance Pad LMAO but any way you could learn to understand the basics (even keyboard arrows could help you learn) Once you have an understanding of the game (please DO NOT USE WEIRD NOTE SKINS! Use something that shows RED/YELLOW/BLUE/GREEN/PURPLE SO YOU COULD UNDERSTAND TIMING LMAO some people use like glittery rainbow style arrows that doesn't show the timing which is NOT what you want when learning this game lmao

Yeah! I heard of those! definitely need something like that for my garage now that I am renting my own place. Just need to save up some $$$ for it 🙂

thats the plan 🙂

thats awesome! I always wanted to get into PIU but its menus are always so confusing for me

@@DietDietRevolution Yeah I had to actually look up on RU-vid how to navigate the menu 😅 But I'm a pro at it now 😂

omg if you can give me a basic tip on how to navigate the menu (or at least change the speed like in DDR 1x, 1.5x, 2x etc) i'd love to try it out aha

​@@DietDietRevolution I might be a touch late to this but if you're still curious then here's a quick rundown: The up arrows are to go back, the down arrows are to navigate left and right, and the center panel is to select. To change note speed you can do this: Increase note speed: upright, upleft, upright, upleft, center Decrease note speed: upleft, upright, upleft, upright, center To unlock full mode (which allows you to access way more settings and songs), you do this in the song selection menu: Full mode unlock: downleft, upleft, center, upright, downright, upright, center, upleft, downleft. This motion looks like you're tracing an "M", one way then going backwards. If done correctly, the game says "Full mode" and the color scheme will be very different. If you are in full mode, you can this to access more settings: downleft, downright, downleft, downright, downleft, downright. In these settings you can set auto velocity, which basically locks the note speed at any bpm you want (for example 450 auto velocity = 1.5x note speed on a 300bpm song). There are also a bunch of other settings, but you don't need to worry about those really.

I'm actually looking into buying a used sort of not working Arcade Machine (as long as the pads work) and throwing it in my basement. If I can do that I would have no excuses and could theoretically play every single day especially if I throw a custom version on it like StepMania or In The Groove

@@DietDietRevolution That was always the dream But I Don't have the space and the price of those machines even broken are still astronomical.... I ended up with an LTEK and I usually go out to the arcade on the weekends.

Honestly, it was going great (lost around 10lbs quick) but work and family have gotten so hectic I haven't been able to play so its slowed down a ton

Get on it man

@@Nostalgiaforinfi I actually just uploaded another video finally aha getting back to it 😎

Yeah I know, I can probably pass a ton more charts if I just switched off it but I like getting Extra Stage for that extra workout as much as possible and from what I've been told 4 life helps you get there more often so I never toggle it off lol

its called "Kakumei" which translates to "Revolution" in English

@@DietDietRevolutionThanks. I couldn’t remember the name.

no problem! did you know that is based of a song called revolutionare etude? look up "Chopin - Revolutionary Etude (Op. 10 No. 12)" it's definitely an enjoyable video aha
