    I'm not sure I would take 700 cals to heart...I am probably wrong but that seems super high...

    Yeah, when I log it I make sure to count it by song length, not just the time I spent playing total. A lot of it is selecting songs, waiting for things to change, etc. I guess there is a shuffle mode, so there is a chance you could be playing 60 minutes straight...

    I must be in them minority.. I have all 3 and don't like doing them for workouts. I don't mind the songs just hate the dance moves.. I am hooked on Zumba..more hip hop for me.. My kids like just dance though..

    I love it soo much! When you do the cardio sweat it tells you in the lefthand corner of the screen how many calories you are burning,

    I'd invest in a HRM.

    Also sidenote, if you enjoy just dance, you should try Zumba for the wii. Zumba Core is my favorite version, but Zumba fitness 2 is also fun. I hear its a better workout than just dance, but I haven't played just dance yet so I dont know. I do know the zumba game I average about 100 calories per 10 mins (which is roughly 3-4 songs)

    Used my hrm i weigh approx 180 and played for 60 minutes with my kids only break was between songs and burnt 396 for 60 min. We have fun so it doesn;t feel like I am working out.

    I like the Just Dance too. I also march in place inbetween songs I feel like I get a good burn, I have a game called "Walk it out" I bought on Amazon. You walk to the beat of the music. For each step thats on beat you get a point. With the points you build a town. Pretty current music.

    I have both 4 and 5 I believe. I bought them for my daughter but, she hasn't really used them yet. I will do this tomorrow after Turbo Jam to see how much it burns. I'll use my heart rate monitor for it. I used mine for a Zumba workout I did and it was only 45 minutes and I burned 350 calories. Not sure if Just Dance would be more or less. Curious to see.

    All you need is wii and a controller and it has music Like MC Hammer and you follow the dance...There's about 30 songs on it I believe and I will tell you it is so much fun and you will sweat like crazy...

    There is another calculator and I put in my weight 130 and 60 minutes of dancing and it gave a total of 351 calories burned
    I would probably just use the calculator on MFP..But the address for the other calculator I tried is http://www.healthstatus.com/cgi-bin/calc/calculator.cgi



    THANKS for the link :)

    such a great workout!! My friends have it, and I think I'm going to buy it for myself soon. I guess going by the sweat points it tells you is pretty accurate.....only if you are doing EVERYTHING the people on the screen do, though!! :)

    I do the just sweat challenge for 7000 sweat points a week. They say it equals to 30minutes of running a week so just look up how many calories running for a half an ahour burns and you have the answer. Its a great exercise although my daughter kicks my butt everytime we play
