Ubisoft's Just Dance 2 (1.11.11)

Imagine yourself in one of life’s golden moments (no matter how long it actually lasted), where everything felt right with the world, you were having pure joyous fun and you felt like your soul was saying weeeeee – or something like it. That’s what Ubisoft’s Just Dance 2 feels like.

Where else can someone who missed out on disco in the 70s dance along with one’s avatar afro waving and wedges twisting? Or Charleston in a flapper dress from the 20s? Or roll along with Tina Turner?

Sandwiched between my two week stepper challenge and my foray into my first EA Sports Active 21 day challenge yesterday, I challenged myself to three 14,000 sweat points challenges on Just Dance 2 and I’m glad I did. While I still am not ready to try any of these moves in public, I know that it’s only a matter of time before I do.

This exergame rocks. From the first song to the last, it introduces new songs, new moves, gets you up and sweating and is pure joy throughout. I had so much fun I barely noticed that I was working up a good sweat day after day. 60+ minutes a day of aerobic exercise was never this much fun fun to complete. Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about.
