Anyone here tried doing DDR/Stepmania for cardio? I am thinking about it because it get the hardest part of cardio - total and utter boredom out.
I don't think it works for losing weight, but it's a good stamina builder for sure. I base this on the fact that for at least six months in the early noughts when I worked across from Timezone I watched giant men move their feet impossibly to edm every single day and never lose weight. It was spectacular to watch, almost physics defying seeing these 180kg guys do Paranoia on expert, and I was sure they'd lose weight just from sweating (the arcade had big industrial fans everywhere but no a/c) but if they did lose any weight it seemed marginal. But they definitely improved their stamina, going from not being able to finish a track to completing tracks and not even being out of breath by the end of the year.
yeah cardio just does not burn much fat. Runners and cyclists are thin because they do not eat much to begin with, not that running induces much weight loss. the sort of person with the discipline to take up running as a habit probably has the discipline to eat less.
