Just wondering if the calorie count is close or way off? I will know soon but just wondered if anyone else has tested it.

    Was going to test this myself at the weekend! I'll be curious to hear your results, and I'll post mine when I try it out :)

    Just got testing it out - did 20 mins of wii fit plus - Super Hula Hoop, Advanced Rhythm Parade and Advanced Boxing - said I burned 117 cals, but HRM said it was 157 :)

    That is awesome! I figured if anything the wii would say more then I really burned so it is nice to know that it isn't overestimating.

    Thanks :)

    am still trying to set up my HRM accurately but I did 28 minutes on my wii and my HRM says I burned 81 calories and my wii said 139 :(

    THen i'd trust your HRM. THe WII is not going to be accurate, whether it is higher or lower depends on how much effort you put into the exercise vs the amount of effort they programmed in and assumed you are exerting.

    Thanks. I generally would trust the HRM but for some reason I can't get the setting right. I have a few other threads all about it so I won't go into that. I just saw it interesting that the readings were so different from the other posters results. I did 28 minutes of harder then walking exercise and got close to the same results walking for 15 minutes.
