home gym versus dumbbells/ exercise ball

Vibram Five Fingers
I went to see my trusted family doctor today because our youngest has bilateral ear infections and a UR infection...

Zumba DVD?
I need to increase my cardio, and I've been dying to try Zumba. My park district does have a class, but I already have 3 regular "non-kid" commitments that take me away from home every week.

Home vs Gym Equipment
I am curious about the calories burned on the gym elliptical vs my home elliptical. I used the same level and the same time, at the gym I was able to enter my weight but at home I am not. For 30 mins at the gym I burned 326 calories and 30 mins at home I burned 500. Which one is right? That is quite a difference, any ideas?
