    good going :) how many calories did it say u had burnt doing 2 hours then? i only bought mine recently so the longest ive played is 72 mins cos i bought other games at the same time aswell so ive been doing a mixture :)

    I posted the calories burned per the game, but it was probably closer to 1500 calories per my HRM. But there's no way I can eat all those calories back, so I just put the lower calorie count in. If you're throwing yourself into it you burn tons, but I don't feel like I'm getting much in muscle definition, so I've added another workout that I'm easing into (my muscles are so sore, so I only do it twice a week).

    so just out of curiosity what was the difference in calories between what the game said you had burned and what your HRM told you? I really need to invest in one of these HRM i think cos im just going by what the game tells me but im not sure how accurate it is

    Today I did 83 min on the game and it said I burned 386 calories, according to my HRM I burned 1050 calories. (One 20 min and one 60 min session, for 216 and 834 respectively.) The game doesn't take any of your information and gives you a generic calories burned, my HRM has age and gender and HR. Here's a website I used until I got my HRM, it's as close as you're gonna get without one (IMO)

    Edit: except for that the game is awesome and I can't wait until May when they start the new DLC.

    my game gives me much higher calories burned than that! the calories that mine gives are around the same as what your HRM readings were and im sure i had to put personal info in when i set it up, i wonder if we have the same game lol

    We have mostly the same game, they made some changes between the wii and kinect versions. You guys sound like you got the kick butt calorie counter, we got the downloadable content.

    I just got the game today and tried it.. I only last 1 song, about 10 minutes and I was exhausted.. this is going from me NEVER working out.. so I think I'm going to need to ease into it. There is no way in the world I could do it for an hour, I'd drop dead of exhaustion...hopefully there will be another challenge in about a month or so when I can last a little longer!

    I'm sorry, but unless you are running up and down a mountain for 4 hours or you weigh 3000 pounds, I don't think there is any way possible you could burn 1500 calories doing Zumba. The average calories burned I believe is somewhere around 300 or 400.

    I wish, but I certainly don't have an hour or more to do Zumba. Even if I did it immediately when i got home from work, by the time I was done, took a shower, etc, I'd be cooking dinner at 8pm or eating dinner at 9pm. Not exactly a good idea. And I can't work out after eating, it would make me throw up.
    Hopefully I'll be able to find 30 minutes a few times a week to squeeze it in. Something is better than nothing.
