I really only have two forms of aerobics i can do and thats a stationary bike and dance dance revolution. Is doing DDR on heavy and riding a stationary bike enough or should I add something else?

Yes, anything that revs your heart rate up and down qualifies as cardiovascular activity. Accompany this with proper diet, and you will see results. All forms of "cardio" do the same thing, become an extension of your diet, thus burn calories and assist your caloric deficit. The other thing of course is cardiovascular fitness.

DDR is an amazing workout. I know you don't want to lose much weight, but when I played DDR every day(usually for an hour, give or take) and cut out soda, I felt so great. It made such a difference in my life. I ended up losing almost 80lbs but stopped playing for a while and got back into my old habits and gained a lot of it back. I love that game so much that I had to go buy it, and now that I'm getting back into another weightloss routine, I'm going to dance my heart out again!:big_smile:

Dance dance revolution is fun! Now if you have this one kind of ddr then you put your weight in and it'll tell you how many calories u burn! its awesome, and fun! so check if you have that and if not you can always buy that disc.

ALso, some of the new versions of DDR have a workout mode. These are options that are designed with songs that warm you up and adjust the intensity intervals throughout. It is a great workout and makes working out fun.
