I'm looking for a workout partner to play Xbox Live with every weekday morning (or M-W-F or whatever).
I am easily finishing most Light songs and working on some of the Standard. I got my first "D" on a Heavy song last week. I jumped around the living room like a maniac. The dog was so confused...
Anyway, I would like to exercise in the mornings about 5am MST, but I'm flexible on the time as long as you're consistent. I can't exercise later than that, but I'm willing to wake up earlier to accomodate other time zones.
Additionally, I would be willing to look at an evening time slot, but that is much more difficult to work into my schedule.
Mostly, I'm looking for someone to play games with. I don't care if you're better than me and kick my butt on every song as long as you're willing to consistently show up and be accountable.

Man, am I the ONLY Xbox player on this board?
"Why, yes you are, Laura."
Shut up, Laura. Quit replying to my own messages!

I'd do it if I had an Xbox, sorry.  |

You're not the only one, Laura, and I was tempted to respond to work out with you. However, I'm not entirely consistent/reliable, so I figured it was better not to commit.  |

Can you commit to one day?

Laura and I are going to try an online workout session tomorrow morning, 5AM Mountain / 7AM Eastern.
If anybody is interested in joining us, PM me your XBL gamertag.

Just got finished with the morning workout with Sinistar. Ultramix 2 totally rocks for this kind of thing! The random button doesn't work for all the songs, so Sinistar just kept choosing songs for us. It was great!
We are meeting again next Thursday at 7am Eastern / 5am Mountain. Go to the Quick Match section and it will bring us up. Sinistar called it Morning Workout this week, so it was really easy to find. Everyone is welcome!
Thanks, Sinistar! That was totally fun!

It worked pretty well. I wish the Random selection stayed Random, but it wasn't a major setback. I think Quickmatch was effective this morning because nobody plays at 7AM EST, so mine was the only match available. I'll have to try inviting you into the game next week to see if that process is any smoother. And yeah, if anybody else wants in, welcome aboard. We did all Light songs this morning and will probably continue doing that in order to accomodate players in that bracket, but even playing Light this morning got me sweating. As a result, however, I have to invest in a headband. I do not want that much sweat soaking into my Live headset ever again.  |

Are you guys still doing the work outs? I am intrested in joining up depending on what time. I am good to for mornings at 5MST or evening but that is much harder to accomodate. My username on live is gilwen, add me if intrested in playing. Just to warn you I am not very good but I am getting better Later, Bryan |

Yep, we're still doing them. We've been doing 5AM MST/7AM EST pretty consistently so far. Our typical session is 30 minutes, but we both had free time last week and stretched it out to an hour. If I recall correctly, Laura is hosting the 'match' this week, so she'll need to throw you an invite unless she makes it a public match. If you're up tomorrow morning, jump on Live. I'm sure we'll be the only other people playing. |

I am absolutely wretched at DDR, but I (as Sinistar knows from elsewhere) have made the investment and am determined to get some good cardio this way. I'm on the left coast, so that' 4:00 am for me. eek!
Maybe I'll try to join anyway, but I'm likely to play even worse than usual as I'd be sleep walking...err.. sleep dancing.

Ok, I sure hope you didn't wake up at 4am this morning because I flaked out on the workout this week. I'm up for a workout next week if anyone is willing to trust me.
I will host next week at 5am Mountain Time. I will make it public, so we have room for three people to dance. If more than three show up, then we'll start two matches.
Sorry about this week. Hopefully, next week will be better.

So, it's always on Thursday?
I can commit to being on next Thursday at (gulp) 4:00am. I've never played DDR on live, but I'm confused as to why you say only three people can play. UM2 lets 4 people play, doesn't it? I've only got three pads at home, so I guess I've never tried more than three people at once.

Four people play at the same time, but when you're setting up the match, you specify the number of Public and Private spots. The maximum is three since it automatically counts your spot as taken.
So yeah, 4 players, but when assigning the number of open slots, it only goes up to 3.

So, the host, plus three more = 4 people playing at once. That sounds better.
About the currently scheduled 'workout meets', was I right in thinking they are only on Thursday, or are they on other days of the week as well?

We've just been doing Thursdays so far. Mainly because I could commit to being awake and on time only one day a week. |

I'm one of the people and three more people can join me.

I am willing to do this. I dont really have anyone on my friends list that plays this game (except like 2 or 3 people) So either send me a friends request at:The Pyrochaos or post your gamertag and I will send you one.
