I use a HRM when I play Just Dance 4. The other day I burned 483 calories in 51 minutes. It can be a pretty decent workout. I try to push myself pretty hard when I use it as my exercise for the day.

Any of the Just Dance games, Zumba Fitness Rush, Zumba Fitness Core, or Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012. I have used all of these, and I always work up a good sweat. :)

You can put in the minutes and then just delete the calories MFP automatically puts in and replace it with whatever your HRM says.

Have you entered your stats into the watch? If not, that may account for the low calorie burn. I have the Polar FT7, and you should be able to enter your stats on the watch (height, gender, weight, etc). I've never had any issues with mine, and I never really need to re-wet the sensors once I've put it on (my sweat keeps…

Here's the MFP explanation:

I really enjoy both Zumba Fitness Rush and Zumba Fitness Core for the Kinect. You can choose from a variety of songs/styles/intensities. They both have multiple pre-made classes that you can take (they vary in length). If you prefer, you can also create your own custom class.

Here's the MFP explanation:

From the FAQs:

Zumba, swimming, Just Dance, and cycling are some of my favorite cardio activities.

Any of the Just Dance games will definitely get you moving and help you work up a sweat. Zumba Core, Zumba Rush, and Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 are pretty decent fitness games.

Lost another pound this week...just a few more and I will be at the half way point!

I keep my diary closed for several reasons. I had an ED in the past, and if I kept my diary open to scrutiny, I fear I would relapse. I know that may sound weird to some people, but having my diary closed works for me. I log everything I eat and drink, and using this site is so much easier than writing it all down and then…

I am in again! Will update later.

Worked hard this week, and it paid off. Down 1.8 pounds this week. :)

I keep my diary closed. I had an ED in the past, and if I kept my diary open to scrutiny, I fear I would relapse. I know that may sound weird to some people, but having my diary closed works for me. I log everything I eat and drink. I don't ask for (nor do I need) any advice on what to eat or not to eat, so having an open…

You are truly amazing! Such an inspiration.

I am guessing you are being sarcastic. I do resistance training/weight lifting in addition to my cardio, and I definitely don't look like a she-hulk at all.

I was down another 1.4 pounds this week.

I have Zumba Fitness Rush and Core for the xbox and I would really love to get Your Shape Fitness Evolved. I've heard great things about it. I love using the xbox for my exercise. I do other things as well, but it has definitely helped me shed some pounds.

The game calorie count is WAY off. I have seen multiple reviewers complaining about this. I did a 50 minute session on the game the other day and it said I burned 151 calories. My HRM said 400+. It's interesting because with Zumba Fitness Rush (made by the same people) my HRM was always lower than the game. I don't know…

^THIS.

I do some cardio every day and strength training 3 days a week.
