    I believe there is a formula for calculating sweat point into calories but that could be pretty off as some people obviously dance way harder than others.I had just been entering it as dance-other on MFP.

    I find on days that the weather is bad and I can't get my really long walks in, the dance games are fun and I can play them with my daughter so it gives us some fun time together :-)

    Get an HRM and forget the guess work. Not only will it give you accurate results, but it will motivate you to keep moving.

    I would add your calories under the category you listed. Personally, I don't want an HRM, so I don't care about exact calories burned. MFP does a pretty decent job of estmiating the calories burned during your exercises.

    :flowerforyou: If you look for Wii under the exersise data base it should be there........... under Just Dance. I added it. I use it alllllllllllllllllllllllllll the time. For Zumba go to www.zumbacalories.com to calculate your calories burned doing.

    IF you can't find it, add the Just Dance under Dancing General, this is what I did. You start but clicking on it and seeing how much 10 min of Dancing General is and just use that for the Just Dance. I did it the other night for 70 min and it was about 400 calories burned I do believe.

    Hope this helps you can message me if you wish
