I was wondering does anyone else play Just Dance for Wii? I'm trying to make sure I'm logging the calories correctly. From what I understand every "sweatpoint" awarded is about a quarter of a calorie. Does anyone know if that is close to accurate?

Thanks!

    I just enter the time under one of the Dance headings in the Cardio section.

    I was wondering the same thing, I wish they had a calorie counter like Kinects Dance Central, it only counts the calories and the exercise time while the song is actually on....

    Wow! I have just dance 2 for Wii. I usually wear a HRM to help determine calories and time for the exercise. The points on the game are just that points that pick up your movement.

    I dont think 1/4 of the sweat points would work. i get over 300 sweat points in a 3 minute dance so there is no way i could burn 75 calories in that time.

    I read some where that 10 sweat points= 1 calorie. I found that is almost accurate compared to what MFP gives for under dancing, general for the same amount of time. Hope that helps
