How do I calculate the calories burned while playing Wii Fit? I don't have a HRM either. (I don't see myself really using it so I'm not planning on buying one either)

Anyone figured out this one yet?

    this is true. Another round about way (but less accurate than a hrm) is While playing on the Wii fit, to stop every set number of minutes, (say every 2 minutes) and take your pulse, write it down, and do this until the end of your workout (very tedious and impractical i know..but thats why some of us decided to go on and get the HRM)
    Then add them together and devide to find your average heart rate for that specified amount of time. You can use this average heart rate to get calories burned. I will have to look online for that conversion however because im not sure. I just know that staying in your target heart rate for a specified amount of time burns x amount of calories based on your heigh and weight.

    You can then take that specified amount of time and multiply it based on how long you work out for subsequent sessions. I think ive confused myself so i hope i havent confused you more!! Ill let you know if i find a Heart Rate to calories conversion calculator
