My original plan was to jog on off days, but since the shifted schedule didn't work, and I never feel up to jogging at night, I started looking for other options, including the DDR. If my goal is to go back to Kung Fu eventually, in particular, I need to get myself able to do a solid 15-minute run or jumping-jack type workout without collapsing in a heap.
To that end, with the generous permission of

Whee. :)
However, I can tell you this much: I was as winded at the end of this workout as I ever was at the end of a Kung Fu class. The main difference is that I was able to keep up with this workout, which is not true of Kung Fu class. Since I presume it increases the intensity over time, this looks like it will be a useful tool. And definitely less risky than jogging. 0.o
