Another of those €œno, really?€ things, DDR and joint strain are good buddies. An average song on the pad might not feel like much, but there haven€™t been too many average people who limber up for a single play.

The resulting muscle aches and aching joints lived long after the music did. I gotta hand it to €˜em though €“ those players sure can dance. Until they hit their mid-twenties, anyhow.
