you won't get dehydrated from playing ddr unless you do a marathon session. if you feel barfy or dizzy thne drink some water. but not too much, or you'll get cramps. eating bananas and potassium rich food helps with cramps too. dizzyness is usually a symptom of some other health problem, maybe dehydration or anemia. unless you've been doing too many spins. and i use, um, *checks* degree.

When I play I tend to get tired after 1 game. maybe its my bad stamina. Cramps only happen if you haven't excercise or eat enough banana's as you said.

Deodorant is a must, always smell nice!

^^ Oh god yes, please, deodorant. The other day someone wasn't wearing any and I had to leave the room.. Icky.

And as for dehydration, I get dehydrated really easily so that's something I have to consider. In any case, if you do any sort of exercise you should always have extra water =)

I dunno, I really don't get dehydrated, but I still drink some water anyway. I usually get no cramps, unless I play right after I play. I am usually dizzy after a few dozen sets of DDR, everyone would.

I wear ::checks dresser top:: Lady Speed Stick.

I bring deodorant, a hand towel, an extra shirt so I can change out of the sweaty one I have on and a water bottle always good to be prepared

on another note what you are wearing to you could consider. I wear myself windbreakers some brand of comfortable shoe and a shirt that feels loose. Happy DDRing and DDR 4 EVER

Being relatively new to DDR I doubt that I have anything to show for it...
but when I do play (have yet to do so in an arcaide) I usualy have a change of shirt, and plenty of water at hand. as for deordant I use spray on Degree (I think, don't rember off hand)

I've tried playing DDR without drinking water and it's not pretty. I usually divide my playing up into two winds... my first wind usually only lasts 3-5 games. During that time I'm not really relaxed and I have a hard time beating harder 9's and 10 footers (ie... I usually fail them if I try to play anything harder than about Exotic Ethnic). Once my second wind kicks in, I can start playing the hard 9's and 10's and I'm good for quite awhlie. I can play for 2-4 hours continuously depending on my general level of health and rest when I get there so long as I keep up the water. I'm guessing that's a pretty common phenomenon.

As for deoderant... Old Spice, straight up.

Definately Deoderant and water.
I usually get a little dizzy after i'm done playing, but i guess playing 4-6 hours straight daily, will have some effect like that.

Gotta have my sweat rag, bottle of water, and must remember to breath during songs. as long as I do the above three I'm good for 6-7 hours.

I've passed out twice while playing DDR, both times I woke up on the side of the machine with no wallet....that's why I only do stamina runs at my house.

Try putting on deodorant before you sleep. That way, it will be effective if you have to play DDR after 12 noon the next day. Doesn't hurt to try! Is that a trip or what? Please reply, over! Thanks!

If I'm dehydrated... I get a drink of water?

I ALWAYS have the following: Deoderant (right now, Speed Stick), a clean shirt, a towel to sop up sweat, and a big water bottle. I can easily drink a gallon of water in an hour of hardcore DDR'ing...
