Hey everybody, I just joined and I'm hoping to lose some weight before my senior year.
Been playing DDR off and on for about 3 years now, but never truly used it as a way of losing weight so this'll be neat lol. I've got 6 months so I hope I can pull of my goal weight!
Here's a question though: I've got DDR Extreme and DDR SuperNova 2. Which songs would be the best for a workout? And also what is this "7-footer" thing I've seen people talk about? How can you even tell if a song is a "7-footer"?
Thanks in advance, and good luck to the rest of you guys having the same goals!

"Footer" refers to the difficulty of a song. You know how there's a bar of colored blocks that shows the difficulty level of a song (out of a possible 10)? In older versions of DDR (up through MAX2, IIRC) those blocks were actually little "feet" icons.
As far as what songs are good workouts, look for songs with a higher BPM, and more "streams" of notes. Jumps are good too. Basically, anything that gets your heart rate up and keeps it there.

Oh so THATS what that means. I was thinking it meant how long the song actually was. Well at least this makes more sense, thanks for the response!
Edit: Also how long do you guys dance? I can basically only make it about an hour on heavy if I spread it out but by the time I get that last few minutes in my steps become unsteady.
I totally know I've gotten really lazy as well because I remember the times I could go for about 2 hours non-stop. I really miss those days...

In DDR Supernova 2, I think the best workout songs are the following:
-Take on Me
-Raspberry Heart
-Arrabbbitta
-Flowers
-Morning Glory
-Highway Shuffle
Note I play all of these on Heavy/Difficult though. But for the most part they are good workouts if you play on Standard too ^_^ Hope that helps, my opinion doesn't mean much but these songs always get me sweating.

I agree with Morning Glory and Take On Me, I also think Money Punch is pretty good (JUMPJUMPJUMPJUMPJUMPSTEPSTEPSTEPSTEPSTEPJUMPJUMPJUMP etc.) I haven't unlocked Arrabbitta yet...(been stuck on some of the Ultra Master Mode challenges) but it looks really fun. |

For DDR Extreme, I think that Eternal Paranoia and Legend of Max are more difficult than the other songs.
