Wii games and recommend Heart Rate Monitor

princessrisariri

I have blown my calories well and truey today so am going to go home after work and set up my wii again.
I have a few different dance games and want to know what the best way of measuring how much I burn is?

I am 26, weigh 195lbs, around 5'7 in height and I think my resting heart rate is around 75 (based off this funny arcade game that measures your heart rate then scares you and you get points for it not going up!) if any of that helps someone to estimate how many cals I will burn per song or half hour?

Just Dance seems to take it out of me the most where as I enjoy the cheer game more and can play it for longer so I do a mixture but I want to try make a dent in the extra class I ate today so need to measure it rather than just play till I am bored.

I have heard about Heart Rate monitors? how much should I be looking to pay for one and can anyone link me on amazon/play.anywhere to something they recommend , I'll mainly be using it to measure things like how many cals I burn on wii fit(getting a kinect when I get a bigger house in summer too yay), running up and down steps at work and other things I can just do around the house etc
