Why isn't Dance or Dancing in the list of excercise? I do about 30-40 minutes of Dance 3x week and my heart rate is going strong and I am sweating. I know I burn a ton of calories. Shame it isn't listed.

    Different kinds of dance will burn different amounts of calories... I would by wary to trust any exercise named as generically as "dance." That's like logging "walking" or "running" with no additional info regarding the pace, etc.

    kinda why I don't log my ice skating. I have a sneaking suspicion it's based on skating round and round in a circle, which I don't do...

    You can edit the calories burned too if you dont feel they are correct instead of going with whats there...they just give a general idea

    Get a HRM. I wore mine to my 90 minute salsa class and burned around 350 calories.
    Dancing does come up for me though.
