Hey all i was just curious would doing an hour or so a day on a ps2 dance mat count as some good exercise as i love doing the dance mat and at the moment im unable to really do anything strenuous due to having an illness recently so anyone know if it would be ok ?

I would think anything that gets your heart rate up would be considered a good workout. I own DDR and have used the "workout" part of the game many times. In some cases I felt like I worked my butt off more doing that, than if I had done an aerobics class or an elliptical. That being said, I wouldn't push yourself too hard until you're feeling better or have gotten advice from a doctor that is tailored to your condition. Happy dancing!
