Dancing Mat Tutorial Dancing Mat Instructions Full Tutorial
[How to Play]
The gameplay is quite simple, basically Listen to the music, when the arrow moves to the specified position, use your foot (DDR dedicated dance mat) to input the corresponding command. If the input command is different from that indicated by the arrow, your energy meter (the red grid at the top left of the screen) will decrease. When the energy is completely subtracted, it means that you have GAME OVER, and you will hear some very unpleasant sound effects. If you enter the command correctly, you can get the level of “Perfect” or “Great”. If these two levels appear consecutively, the word “Combo” will appear on the screen, and your score will be doubled; however, when ” Good”, “Boo” or “Miss” appear and your Combo Score will have to be recalculated. In addition, the songs in the game have different levels of difficulty. The more the number of “big feet” under the song name, the greater the difficulty. Generally, each song has three difficulty options: high, medium and low.

For the sake of health, the author does not recommend that you play multiple times in a day.

If they indulge in dancing for a long time, their legs keep jumping in several directions, which is not conducive to the normal development of bones, and can seriously lead to bone loss. deformed. Medical research believes that aerobic exercise is the best weight loss exercise, which is characterized by low intensity, rhythm, and no interruption. It does not require high skills, such as walking, running, swimming, dancing, etc. These aerobic exercises can consume excess body fat and achieve the purpose of weight loss. However, if you dance on the carpet for a long time, keep climbing and jumping all the way, it will soon become strenuous exercise, and anaerobic exercise will appear, which is not good for physical and mental health.

Generally, moderate exercise intensity and continuous exercise for more than 30 minutes can achieve the purpose of losing weight and fitness. Expert advice: dance time is best not more than 1 hour.
Second, bodybuilding should prevent thickening of the calf. Sports medicine research believes that dancing on the dance mat mainly affects the extensors and flexors of the knee joints, ankle joints, etc. The joints can be twisted less and are not easily injured. However, because the forefoot usually touches the ground when jumping, the triceps of the calf—two heads of the gastrocnemius and one head of the soleus muscles have a relatively large amount of exercise. For this reason, Ms. Amy is careful that her calves become thicker and reduce the charm of her legs.
Third, it is not advisable to dance immediately after a meal. After a meal, the blood circulation of the digestive organs is greatly increased to help the digestion of food.

Because, in dancing activities, the human body’s metabolism is vigorous, the breathing and blood circulation are accelerated, and the human body’s demand for oxygen increases accordingly. To this end, the entertainment environment should always open doors and windows to allow air circulation, so as to breathe fresh air to make people feel refreshed.
