Fitness games for the PS3...

EA Sports Active 2 is great. It's not a game... it's an actual workout, but it's interactive and customizable, and has a built-in heart rate monitor to track your calories burned. It's best if you use separate weights (I use 5# dumbbells) rather than the resistance band that comes with it.

I have to laugh every time I log it in my exercise and someone says, "Oh, that's looks like a fun way to burn calories!" It's not. :laugh: It's not like dancing or playing a game where you're enjoying yourself and laughing and thinking, "I can't believe THIS is exercise!" Squats and lunges and pushups are never fun.

I have the zumba game for my PS3 and I love it. I log it as aerobics high impact since it gives me much more of a workout than the aerobics DVDs that I have. I just got the Fit In Six game yesterday (on clearance for $13.98 at Target - woohoo!!) And I was pleasantly surprised at the workout I got. But I'm not sure how to log it for calories burned. I did a variety of the workouts - cardio, and strength (pushups, etc). I do not have a HRM so I know at best, my calories burned are estimates anyway but I was still wondering how I should log it. Any suggestions?
