DDR and calories

I know DanceDanceRevolution helps with weight loss as it's basically a cardio workout.
I just wanted to know how many calories do you burn per song approx
I just did 18 songs(difficult) in 45mins.
I'm a very lazy person but since i got a new mat i might just play at least 30 min everyday, it's the only fun exercise i know.

    Nice! I love DDR!

    Estimating the amount of calories will be tricky, though. It depends on your weight and the level you're playing at, and a bunch of other factors.

    MFP has "dancing, aerobic" in the exercise list, which is probably what I'd classify it under. Just note that it will be an estimate, and probaby an over estimate...

    But definitely keep at it! You'll have super quick legs in no time! :)

    I hope!
    I guess i'll just use dancing in MFP but use time played/2 as to not overestimate, i think that might work
    Thank you c:

    You're welcome!

    I'll admit though, if you're playing at hard/extreme nonstop, I think you can log all the calories. :smirk:
