Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party Experiment September 20, 2007
An 8 week gaming session to see the effects on the male and female human body.
After the unexpected international success of my “Wii Sports Experiment” I thought it was time to put my body through the ringer once again.
This time around my fiance (wife by the time the experiment is over) will be joining me. I plan on keeping an extremely detailed journal on every aspect of the experiment. During my Wii Sports Experiment I kept track of a lot of things, but I had some critisms about not including my diet and some even questioned my photos. I will be filming our before and after shots, so that you’ll get a 360 view of our body. I will take daily photos of my progress, film each time I step on the scale, etc… I plan to make this as accurate and scientific as possible.
I will be keeping track of the following:
- Weight
- BMI
- Heart Rate (at rest)
- Calories burned per session/per game (via BioTrainer)
- Body fat % (via a Digital Body Fat Caliper and a body fat scale)
- Pain/Soreness
- Additional Notes/Findings
- Wii Fitness Age
I plan on taking all of the measurements three times a day to get an extremely accurate number, that way if I weigh myself before a meal or in the morning, it should counter balance my weight before bed or after a meal. Each meal will be documented as well. What I ate, when, calorie content, etc…
I’ll be starting this experiment on September 25th and ending it on November 25th, a full two month experiment. If you’re a trainer/fitness guru that would like to donate any new fitness gadgets or if you want to see me track something else, send me an email or just post a comment below.
After my 9lbs. weight loss from the Wii Sports Experiment, I’m still down 6lbs. I have not put all the weight back, so this may make weight loss even harder. Dance Dance Revolution is already a proven “fitness game”, but since I already have a control variable from my Wii Sports Experiment, it will be a good gaige of how much more (or less) this game will give you a workout.
What is DDR?
Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party is an upcoming title for the Wii from Konami being released on 9/25/07. It will be an installment in the popular rhythm game series Dance Dance Revolution. In addition to the traditional dance pad, the Wii version will utilize the Wii Remote and Nunchuk attachment, allowing the user to use their hands while playing. In the demo, a new type of arrow, resembling two vertical lines, signified motioning with the Wii Remote or Nunchuk instead of stepping on the mat.
More details as we near the 25th, in the meantime, enjoy:

I can’t wait to see the results of this. I’d guess you’ll burn more calories than with Wii Sports.
Congrats on the wedding. Don’t get fitted for your tux too early, you might drop a size or two!

[...] A while back, a guy from WiiNintendo did an experiment using Wii Sports. Every day for a few weeks, he would play Wii Sports for a certain amount of time and he would keep track of things like his weight, BMI, heart rate, and more. His experiment was a success and while playing Wii Sports everyday didn’t have any huge effects, he did notice that he was slightly more in shape. Now he’s back, and this time he’s doing an experiment on Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party. For full details, you can check out WiiNintendo. [...]

Mickey, you should somehow let me in on this. I need to lose weight and after having the baby there could be some dramatic before and after pics. Are you going to play everyday? Is there a way to get it for the computer?
