hey guys,

Does anyone know the calorie burn when using the riser on the wii fit balance board? I don't have a heart rate monitor yet.

Cheers guys.

    It does increase the calorie burn, but not sure how much. I have one for my Wii Fit board, but I also use a HRM. Sorry I can't really help more than that.

    i don't have an hrm either, but when i do the free step with my 4 inch riser, i log it as "aerobis, low impact". for example, if i do 20 mins free step without the rise, the wii fit board says i burn 102 cals. if i log aerobics, low impact for 20 mins, it gives me 164 cals. i also do big arm movements the entire time. like pump my arms, over head curls, that kind of thing. :) (i hold my tv remote in the other hand to balance out the weight) hope this helps!
