    I wear my HRM when I play just dance 2 that way I know what I burned. Some days I burn a lot and others not so much, it all depends on what songs I do and how hard I really did try.

    I workout using Just dance 2 as well. However, while dancing I use a strapless Heart Rate Monitor to tell me exactly how many calories I'm burning. The points on the game r just that points based upon your movements for the song.

    You can do a fitness mode, and it measures how many calories you burn! After you pick the song, and the level, there should be an option before hitting dance! It tells you how long and how many calories burned, as well as heart rate! Good luck!

    This is very similar to what I got when I wore my heart rate monitor as well! I burned a little bit more, but I probably weigh more :) (5'9" and 185lbs).
