' my fitness Coach' on wii- how much to log?

Hi there,

I am about to start doing 'My Fitness Coach' on the Wii. Don't know what to expect yet, but do wonder how I am going to log the calories burned when I am done.

Any suggestions anyone? Thanks!

I use it, and have created exercises on here for each type of workout. For example, today I entered 30 minutes and listed it under cardio as "Wii My Fitness Coach -- Core Body Workout" and log the calories burned as exactly what it says on the Wii at the end of the workout, even though I probably burned more. Today after a half hour, it only showed a burn of 90 calories, but that's what I logged. I also will log certain Strength exercises as exactly what they are, like Upright Row, or Squat Lunge, or Plie Shoulder Press, indicating how many sets of how many repeats and what weights I was using, if any. Since everything I've read says that you don't burn as many calories doing the strength training, I guess it makes sense that the calorie burn for the workout is less that what shows for the strictly cardio workouts.
