I use the Wii Fit Plus and the Biggest Loser discs. I really find the Bigget Loser disc hard even the warm up gets my heart racing and I'm out of breath where as the Wii fit plus I can do a 2hr stint and I'm tired and sweaty but I can still Breath so my question is this...... For a session on on the WII Fit plus for 30 mins it says you have burnt 150 cals for a 30 mins session on the Biggest loser if came back with 70 cals but sure if I'm struggling I'll be burning more cals on the Biggest Loser I'm confused.

    i found the biggest loser was tight with calories burnt too. it puts you off using it as you do all the hard work and they give hardly anything back.
    that could be why mine just sits there and doesn't get used :blushing:

    I'm betting they're all wrong all around. Wear a heart rate monitor if you want to know a more accurate number.

    I was doing the same thing you are early on and found BL really difficult for beginners. Also found the calorie count to be stingy. I did wear my HRM while on the Wii Fit one day and the HRM count was HIGHER than the Wii. I think it is because the Wii is only counting your actual activity while the HRM is counting your time in between exercises.

    The biggest loser is so hard for me to do!!! I'm out of breath with warm ups as well....and find myself screaming at the television!! I've found that I am most motivated and excited about exercise when I'm dancing. I found a DVD of 10 minutes Dance mix workout, Hip-Hop Abs, and Zumba. I've been mixing these up on various days. It's so much fun!!! By the time I'm finished with 30 minutes of either of them I'm wet with sweat- like dripping off my face wet!!! It's an awesome workout and I just think I'm dancing :-)
