-It makes you a friggin' chick magnet!

-Friends are awed by your ability

-If you play enough, you should work up enough sweat to do the cleaning without upping your water bill

-MUCH cooler than actual dancing

-If you practice with a big tortise shell on your back, and play ddr, after a while you'll be able to jump hundreds of feet into the air!( GO GOKU!!!)

It's good for your heart, you can meet new people, have fun and get a lot of attention if you play at a boardwalk or amusement park or something.

I don't see how you'd put on a lot of leg muscle playing though. I've been lifting for a while, and if anything, I've found doing lots of ddr/running/cardio will cause you to lose muscle, unless you're really out of shape. Do you think runners & cyclists have huge muscular legs?

I think that depends on how hard you hit the pad. I work out my arms everyday, and I never work out my calves and still, my calves are far more developed from ITG.

What sort of metric are you guys using when you say your leg strength increases? Like, your squat went up 100 pounds? Your verticle is better (and not just from the weight loss)?

Weight loss was a big perk for me. Other things were the muscles in my legs are much more toned. I have more stamina for sports or trail hiking with my folks. My cordination has greatly improved. I met a lot of "friends", friends and a boyfriend

I've also gotten to travel a lot more, road trips to go to out of city and state tournaments.
