question!! about calories burning playing game

samrockrocks

Hey everyone. I know people are always asking about this butttt I just did my first work out on Gold Gym's Dance Workout for Wii. The default "calories burned" on the game said I burned like 37 calories. Before playing I had to fill in height and weight.

I just bought a Sportline S7 (or something) heart rate monitor and calorie tracker. It said that in the 12 minutes I played, I burned 146 calories.

I realize the whole point of a HRM is to more accurately assess calories burned, which is why I bought it. But considering this is the first time I've used it I wanted to ask all of you wonderful people out there if it sounds accurate to you??

Thank you!
