Does anyone know how accurate the calories burnt are with this? I did 45 mins yesterday, yes it was hard going but I am very doubtful that I burnt off over 700 cals which is what it said?!

    What did you do for the 45 minutes. I think if your effort was there and your heart rate was up you could come close to that. Everyone here talks about Heart Rate Monitors that could help you check while working out on the wii. They have one at Wal-Mart for $20.00.
    Wishing you good health.

    I've had the same questions about calorie burning using the Wii. The website posted previously was very interesting. Feeling better about the calories it says it burned. I had my doubts. I use Wii Fit Plus and Dance Dance.

    thanks for the replies. The 45 mins is probably half an hour of high impact aerobics (eg. jumping jacks etc) with the final 15 mins of lower impact/weight repetitions etc. It just seemed too good to be true, even though the high impact stuff has me out of breath and I struggle to do it all...
