As technology becomes more and more prominent in society, many companies have been trying to use that technology for healthier purposes. For those of you that own Wiis, there are plenty of fun dance games to play that actually provide a fun form of exercise.
The Just Dance Company has made 4 versions of their wii game. By watching a trailer for their game it is clear that they target a younger audience and emphasize the games fun properties. By including dances to fun, popular music and allowing plenty of options to play with friends, playing Just Dance seems like the farthest thing from exercise. However, countless exercise blogs and workout suggestions have testified to the effectiveness of working out with Just Dance.
"Keep moving between dances, and really put some effort into the moves and before you know it you're sweating!" said one exercise forum of the popular video game. The best part of the game is that you don't have to be a good dancer by any means. Anyone can play the game and still do well without being a professional dancer.
Personally, I feel another plus side to the game is that it is much more fun and interactive then running on a treadmill or using machines in a weight room. Some of the songs on the most recent version of just dance include Call Me Maybe, Disturbia, Moves Like Jagger, Jailhouse Rock, and Mr. Saxobeat. The range of songs on the game make it enjoyable for a variety of people.
Wii does make designated workout videos, however those games sometimes require the purchase of extra weights, mats and other workout materials. Just Dance only requires a space to dance. Another positive of Just Dance is the fact that the workout can change every time. With over 40 songs, you can change up order, tunes, and styles every time so you never get bored of the workout routine.
As a dancer myself, I have always found that the game includes plenty of both fun and active moves. It is a great alternative to the classic treadmill run or 3 mile bike ride. I would recommend this workout method to anyone.
