I'm gonna break out my DDR and start playing it. Now, I remember quite the workout that game could give you.... but how would I log the calories burned?

    I clicked to see what East Germany had to do with burning calories. I was a little disappointed that the point wasn't discussed.

    I wore my fitbit during a couple sessions of playing ddr on heavy, played for 1 hour nonstop and it averaged out to around 400-500 calories burned for different sets. not too bad and its fun!

    well I played quite a bit yesterday. logged it as dancing, general. Total it said I burned 846 calories. Which I am a tiny bit skeptical about but I hope it was right. I did 150 mins total.

    @pallycoo If I remember correctly, there is a setting on DDR that you can use to see calories burned in kcals. I think it's called Workout Mode. I loved playing DDR as a teen.
