Hey guys,
I use both zumba 2 and just dance 3 on the wii,

when I do an hour of intermediate zumba, the game calculates that I burn around 700cals,
if you use the just sweat option on just dance and earn 3000points (which it roughly took an hour to do), it says that it's equivalent to 30mins swimming which isn't near the 700cal mark I assume?

I find the just dance 3 really makes me break a sweat and is alot faster so I'm confused as to what I should log...

Anyone play these on the wii and if so what do you log it as roughly?

Thanks :happy:

    Your best best is to invest in a heart rate moniter. That will help you determine the calories you are actually buring.

    I do both of these and for JD3 I log it as "aerobic dance", and zumba I use this website to calculate instead of the totals that the game generates: http://www.zumbacalories.com/

    These estimates are more modest than what the Wii would have you think you burned, but I feel like they are much more reasonable.
