DDR? Dance Dance Revolution? I thought you meant some sort of bleep test before looking DDR up.

Hm, ehowto has some good exercise guides, as does bodybuilding.com (even if you’re not after the about-to-explode look).

I guess dumbell curls, pectoral flyes, shoulder flyes, tricep extensions … and the one where you lift the dumbell backwards - can’t remember the name … are a good start. You can do bench presses on the floor with dumbells too.

Crunches and abdominal vacuums are worthwhile too, for endurance and for the grating board look :D. For that you need to drink a lot in order to rid yourself of retained water though.

I dunno what I’m doing to be honest, I wish I could get my endurance back though, I used to do so well on DDR but now I kinda lose the stamina needed to complete songs.

Yeah, each… if you don’t use enough mass, then it won’t work! Assuming you’re going for strength training rather than endurance. Which I presume you are, from you mentioning metabolism.

Try press-ups too, they’re great for both endurance and strength. I can only do 40 myself, as I’m not fit (severly lacking in the endurance dept.).

The one i’m holding is a 3kg one. I have a 5kg one too but I’m sticking to the small ones until I feel comfortable of upgrading. You talking 10kg each?

How heavy are they? I use 10kg dumbells, need to get some heavier ones!

It’s my bones that ache after using them though, feels like they’re going to snap. Curse of the athletic (read: thin) build.
