Hi All,

Just wondering what you guys do as far as break it down mode on dance central. Thing is i get hot and sweaty when im doing the break it down so surely its excercise but the calorie counter doesnt count it! do you guys allow a few extra calories burnt, just enter the whole lot as dance or not add it at all.

Thanks all.

    I have that same problem. Cause I sweat a good while doing the break it down part. I wish they did add that into it ..because we really can't calculate it... I just say log it in as dance...and count how long you were doing the practice mode...enter that in the calorie counter here and it should and hopefully match up.

    I don't include it, just because I reckon the game overestimates my calories anyway, so it kind of balances it out =)

    I'm with Michelle.

    I log the "Break-It-Down" time as Dancing General.

    Love that game!

    They are amazing! I got a Polar FT4. Now I know how many calories I burn during dance central, riding my bike, going for walks, Zumba. I love the thing. I burn a ton during dance central. About 300 cals in 30 minutes
