It seems like WFP tells me I burned between 193-195 calories on the simple step exercise even if I step 1.5 times the speed/pace of the Mii. Anyone know the accuracy?

    I'm going to say not very accurate. I don't have the Plus, but mine doesn't even weigh me accurately. It's about 12-13 pounds lighter than my really good scale.

    Just to be on the safe side I have been cutting mine in half from the WFP. I mean you get a work out, but you have too long in between the games/moves for it to be a continuous work out. It does get you off the couch and moving in a fun way, and you can work up a sweat, it just isn't sustained continuous motion if you are doing various activities. I will continue to use it.

    It also gets my boyfriend off the couch and moving....not that THAT would be a reason to get a Wii in the first place.... (Shhhhhh):bigsmile:
