GuitarKatPlaying DDR for 20 minutes at a proper machine with me looking embarrassing 🤣 Max Heart Rate… 180bpm woooo lol
ALomeli@GuitarKat Don't overdo it now! I only ever played like one song at a time at an arcade though and was really bad so, a solid 20 minutes I can see how that would be quite the workout 😛
@Alomeli I’ve been plying DDR for a very long time and play on Expert (or Heavy). I’m made for endurance sports primarily.
@GuitarKat Nice! I only said that because of the heart rate but obviously you know what's right for you. :)
@GuitarKat And that's impressive, it's definitely not the easiest game to master but sounds like you're doing just that 😁
@Alomeli I do ok, I don’t do like the super challenging stuff like Healing Vision much or Afronova style songs because they’re difficult but I feel it’s lacking musicality.
I find ones that have a good syncopation, but melodic tendencies and my favourites are Bossa Nova styles, DJ Taka (he does a lot of classical mashups with electronic) and anything Orange Lounge does or Togo Project.
@GuitarKat I'll be honest here, blues, rock, and metal are more my thing so I only know a couple of those names. Classical mashed up with electronic sounds pretty cool though, I'll have to check that one out when I finish up with work
@Alomeli I’m building VO2 Max capacities and speed endurance to use up more carbs effectively and pushing it to Zone 4 and Zone 5 is one of the known ways to do it through Interval Training (which is what DDR is - Intervals) but more fun obviously….! I do this two to three times a week in this Zone. Overdoing Zone 5 is bad. 1 minute or 2 minutes in a half hour is reasonable. 😃 I’m probably fairly fit.
They calculate my Max HR as if I’m younger so I have more room to operate in as well.
@GuitarKat If you can handle that you're definitely fit. 💪 And it sounds like you really know your stuff, but no surprise there - you've always come across as a really intelligent person. 🙂 Keep on kicking ass!
