Do any of you count playing wii sports as your exercise? How many calories does it burn? I work up quite a sweat when I play, and I play about 1h every day. Should I just count is as a bonus and not enter it to mfp?

Thanks

    I count it as exercise. I wear my HRM so that I know how many cals I've burned as the ones Wii fit show you aren't quite as accurate.

    Hey,

    If you check under exercises the Wii is listed :-) 60 minutes of wii tennis equals around 289 calories burned!

    Have fun!

    Cheers, A

    Its so much fun! I play with my husband, and we are both very competetive, so we put a lot of effort into it. I play tennis mostly, but also boxing and cycling. I would reccomend it to anyone!

    I haven't counted the Wii sports but , I do the Wii fit and count those. You are right it is movement maybe if you time how long you play and then log it under " Wii Fit exercise". That will give you some small idea.

    I would count it. I definitely worked up a sweat when I was using it two years ago. I think there was something on there that tells you how many calories each exercise burns, but I could be mistaken since I haven't played it in some time :P The Wii stuff is pretty fun, cutiepie2628. Definitely get one if you can get it for a decent price :)
