Rhythm games make cardio fun. You're focused on hitting the beat, not on "exercising." This dance mat connects to your PC and lets you play dance games at home without gym fees or crowded studios. You'll get a real workout; a 30-minute session burns energy comparable to light jogging. Most people do 3-4 sessions weekly for both fitness and entertainment value.

Works best on smooth, level surfaces (wood floors, tile, laminate). Requires Windows PC or Linux system with USB port. Requires compatible dance game software (must be purchased or downloaded separately, mat includes no games). Suitable for ages 8 and up; younger children should use under supervision. Max user weight approximately 120kg. Not suitable for high-pile carpet or uneven surfaces as mat may shift during rapid movements.

Dance game fitness that fits in your home and stores away when you're done.
