Ok so you can burn a hell of a lot of cals doing this especially if you realise when u turn your sweat points to cals... any one else do this for exercise and how do you calculate your cals

    Hi! I'm using dance dance revolution for wii and I believe it's great! It has a built in calorie counter and that's what I use. I really start sweating super fast. I try to burn 600 calories at a time (I don't play every day though...) and I think it's super fun :-) I feel really tired when I finish. Which one are you using?

    on Zumb for the wii I use Zumba calculator and on Golds gym dance cardio It counts my cals based on my height weight and the moves that I get right which is usually pretty close to the calories that I get counting it as generla dance on MFP. :smile:

    I have the dance revolution and i do about three days worth of dancing on it a day lol it's just fun. So i havent done it in a long time due to sickness and i am going to start up again today. just wondering if any one else had a high calorie burn from it or wheather i am just over doing it . I also sometimes throw an elliptical session in there also or treadmill. Also how are you calculating your burn cals you know sweat points into cals. I want to know that i am doing it right and not calculating wrong

    I'm using just dance 3 at the moment and zumba on the wii. I have just dance 2 but haven't played it yet. I play sweat mode for about 30 - 40 minutes (2 hours once!) depending on how much time I have available. I enter it as dancing general abotu 230 cals from memory.
    I'm considering buying a hrm, bodybugg, bodymedia fit or fitbit gadget thingie that will tell me what calories ive burnt.
    I find it as intense as jillians 30 day shred, I might wear weights on my wrists and ankles if/when it gets easy.
    But it is a lot of fun so far :)
