The purpose of this study is to perform a pilot project using a randomized clinical trial to determine if use of the RedOctane Dance Pad with the Dance Dance Revolution will result in weight loss in young adult females. The long-term goal of the study is to determine if the use of the RedOctane Dance Pad with Dance Dance Revolution is a safe and effective means of reducing weight in obese young adult females. The outcome of the study may provide healthcare providers and society in general with a means of getting children and future adults to be more physically active and less overweight, thus reducing the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and other problems associated with obesity and insulin resistance.
