As the
colder weather moves in, so do we. Some outdoor activities must be cancelled,
others can be moved indoors. Such is the case with the exercise routine my wife
and I finally got in to this year.
Some of you
may remember me talking about Zombies, Run! earlier this year, which helped
Colleen and I get into a regular routine of running. Sadly, that has had to
grind to a halt as temperatures drop more and more.
Exercise is
important, though, so we’ve shifted to a new indoor routine! Now, on every
morning we would normally be running, we’ve switched to playing Dance Dance
Revolution and Just Dance games.
It’s a good
combination for exercise because Dance Dance Revolution is a video game that
focuses on foot movement, while Just Dance has an emphasis on arm movement.
Together, they provide quite the workout.
It also
turns out to be a good combination for us because each of us is better at one
of them. Having spent a summer playing Dance Dance Revolution all the time, I’ve
gotten to be quite good at it (I’m a bit rusty after years of not playing. When
I was still in practice, I went on a drama department school trip to England
and astounded my classmates when we went to the arcade. I was quiet and
reserved, so I really took them by surprise when I stepped onto the dance mat).
However, for some reason, I just can’t seem to get the dance moves right on
Just Dance (I suspect it’s the way I hold the Wii-mote).
Colleen, on
the other hand, lacks my Dance Dance Revolution experience, yet excels at Just
Dance. It works out well because, with how competitive the games are designed
to be, there’s no point watching how one of us always has a higher score in one
game because it will switch when we change games.
So, the
exercise routine will continue indoors. I just feel sorry for my sister-in-law
whose bedroom is below the room we’re dancing in.
