It is quite difficult for a modern person, most of the working and free time sitting in front of a screen or monitor, to solve the problem of physical inactivity. An entertaining toy comes to the rescue - a dance mat with a connection to the TV, which gives an excellent mood and makes it possible for children and adults to actively move.
Most models of this popular gadget are universal and work perfectly both in connection with a TV and laptop. Such an improvised dance floor is perfect for parties and outdoor activities with children, serves as an excellent alternative to a skipping rope and good anti-stress entertainment.
Description, connection and principle of operation
Japanese engineers became the pioneers of creating music and dance rugs as toys for entertainment. It was from the Land of the Rising Sun that these cunning devices spread around the world, having earned the love of a huge number of the inhabitants of the planet, regardless of their age. Children and adults are always happy to jump on the highlighted sections of the rug to the beat of dynamic music. The product itself resembles a bright poster with arrows on a rubber base, inside which a microprocessor is built-in.
We recommend connecting to a TV with a dance mat using a cable with a standard connector - multi-colored tulips, which are provided with any model of television device.
It is easy to connect with both modern plasma panels and liquid crystal or even relatively ancient televisions equipped with a picture tube. In newer models, the USB output is more common. Most modern music rugs released after 2013 are universal. They can interact with a TV, computer or laptop.
Instruction: how to use
After the dance mat connected to the TV successfully connects to the device, the “video” mode is activated, which appears on the screen. Then you can select the type of TV: liquid crystal (LCD) or ordinary, with a CRT CRT. Then, using the remote control, the mode, level of dance training, the number of buttons and the melody you like are determined.
Then you can start the fun: in a certain order and at a given pace, step on the squares, looking at the TV screen. It will show a similar mat with sections of the same size, and active cells - highlighted in time with the music. Thus, stepping on bright arrows or other geometric shapes, the player enthusiastically dances, watching the images on the screen. There are also versions of dance mats for two people with a double pattern, where you can arrange fun competitions or fitness training.
Benefits
Psychologists advise using a dance mat with a connection to a TV or computer as often as possible. It improves the emotional state, lowers the level of stress. During dancing to pleasant music, the body produces a large number of endorphins - “hormones of happiness”.

If you devote at least an hour to a pleasant occupation daily, you can significantly improve your figure. Active dances during this period allow you to burn from 550 to 970 kcal!

Dance mat with TV connection: reviews of doctors and customers
A variety of opinions are expressed by experts about popular musical gadgets for children and adults. In the global network on this occasion, you can find comments from positive to neutral. Assessing the majority of inexpensive products from China, doctors pay attention that among them there are light and thin models with Velcro, poorly fixed on the floor, from which they begin to fidget during the dance. This can lead to a loss of balance and a fall. If you put such a toy on the carpet, then it will be more convenient to practice on it, but you will have to clean the villi manually. Users confirm that thin rugs quickly wear out, cliffs appear on loops inside them. This leads to disruption of individual elements and discomfort during the dance. Newcomers often buy such danspads to try popular entertainment.
Better models of music rugs receive extremely positive reviews. A dance mat with connection to a TV is good during morning exercises and evening relaxation, for the entertainment of guests and active family vacations. Users who purchase dance halls for fitness, prefer models with a dense rubberized coating, the cost of which is much higher than that of products wrapped in material resembling oilcloth.
