I hate to sound like a commercial and this is probably old news to you all but Dance Dance Revolution 2 is really fun for exercising. I brought it a couple of months ago, just because it looked like fun. Well my neice and I decided to give it a whirl and played for 2 hours straight. It also has a workout feature where it can be set to help you burn a certain number of calories or do a certain amt of time. ITS GREAT!! The workout feature can also lets you keep track of your progress! It has settings starting at beginner up to advanced. I think it was like $50 and that included the dance pad. I was also surprised that I liked the music (sean paul, fat boy slim, beyonce).

I recommend it for anyone who already has (or kids have) a PS2 or Xbox. Try it!! (Hate to sound like a commercial, but if you don't like it you can always return it.).

I've seen an article somewhere about a girl who lost weight by playing on a "Dance Dance". Sounds great, I'll check into it.

I thought that might be fun for getting my kids more active too. I went to walmart to buy it ans for some reason they sell the dance pad but not the ps2 game(disk). I just let it go. I'm gonna look back into though. thanks

My boys have this game an we love it, we do it together all thetime, it is a great work out!

Ive heard about this, but never checked it out.

My kids LOVE to dance - and seeing that summer vaca has just started, maybe this will help entertain us a bit.

Thanks for the idea.

The pad comes separately because there is a whole series of games, and they have different soundtracks. I haven't picked it up myself, but then I'm not all that big into dancing, lol.
