So I was looking at the database for exercise and see that for my weight running in place equals 191 calories burned, but if you do free run on the Wii it is only 96 calories. Free run is running in place correct? So why is there a calorie difference. Can someone please explain this to me. Cause for some reason I can run the amount of time on the Wii but cannot do it outside with out a decent amount of not good pain in my chins. ????????
Thanks for input!

    The estimates in the database are just that, I'm afraid. If you want to be accurate, you probably need a heart rate monitor.
