So what exactly IS the DDR Diet?
Actually, it’s not a diet at all – it’s simply using the game DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) to move your body and help you lose weight.
I’m very fond of DDR myself. Back when I started my own weight loss journey, I got DDR for my kids – I figured, hey, might as well get them up and moving too! I was astounded to see how much you sweat when you do it, and also how very exhausted you become as well.
It’s a blast! After 2 months, the dinky plastic mats broke, so I invested in some Red Octane mats instead that have lasted to this day. And the kids and I still regularly do DDR after school or after karate – it’s a great way to spend family time as well.
Here are some cool DDR resources you can use to find out more:
- DDR Diet
- ExerGaming News
- Get Up and Move Campaign
- Get Up and Move Community

- Wiki Dance Dance Revolution
DDR is truly a boon for parents who want to get fit with their kids! You should definitely check it out.
Enjoy,
