I think I might try to avoid the inevitable pay-them-go-three-times-and-never-go-back problem I usually have with fitness centres by just getting Dance Dance Revolution for the PS2 and dancing myself into better shape. There is some logic behind this decision:

1) I’m way more likely to work out in the privacy of my own home than anywhere else.
2) It’s way cheaper than getting a gym membership.
3) It looks like fun.
4) It would be a decent way to actually do some exercise, which I don’t currently do. At all.

My only problem is picking a DDR pad. If you can recommend one, please drop a comment here. There seem to be a lot of choices out there, so I’m looking for something a) reliable, b) not too expensive, and c) stable enough that I won’t end up killing myself slipping on it (or having it slip on the hardwood).
