Ive been doing Just dance on the wii and was curious how people added it to their diarys with regards to calories.

When you set you weekly target. e.g the 1000 sweat people challenge per day or 3000 sweat points per day. Its says complete this and its equal to 30mins jogging. Would you find the calories burned from jogging at a reasonable pace and use that. (i dont have a HRM)

For example i worked out and got 7008 sweat points last night, how would i go about using that? It seems that 1,988kcals burned is a bit high. (284kcals burned from jogging 5mph x 7 days)

Any advise will be will greatly received.

    I log it as dancing, general, and log your time.
    Its a little relative, the Wii can't really tell how much you're actually moving your legs etc.

    How is that game? I do the wii boxing with balance board as I've found it's great for upper body and core and zumba for wii because it's just awesome.. but I want more dance games so I'm wondering which are the best

    @ kelene616; Its fantastic, i love it. its kinda like the zumba but its to loads of random songs. Have you seen the Michael Jackson game? Its the same as that. :smile:

    @imjessly; Thanks - ill do it that way instead.

    Hi ya - I prefer to under estimate it so I calculate it at 1 calorie per 10 sweat points - so 3000 sweat points = 300 calories. I've seen other calories that double this (so 2 for 10, 3000 = 600 calories) but they seem way too high for me. I can do 3000 sweat points in about 30-40 mins so to burn 600 calories in that I think is a bit excessive.

    Anyway seems to work for me as am still losing an average of 2lb a week.

    I don't have a Wii but got Everybody Dance for the PS3 Move for my Girls for Christmas . Today I tried it out on the workout mode, since I was home alone I just went with it for a good 80 minutes! I had a lot of fun and didn't care that my moves were nothing like Jaggers! Now my arms legs and abs are sore! sorry had to jump in on these dancing games! ps...I logged it as Dancing General as well :)
