Mike asked about the calorie burn on the Wii. Using the bodybugg as my measuring device, I burn from 7.9 to 10.6 calories a minute doing “Dancing with the Stars.” I have to admit that I jump around like a mad woman trying to beat the game. I might do better if I slowed down, but then it is no fun.
On my first day on Wii Fit, I burned about 4.1 to 7.1 calories a minute. That was the first day and I did yoga (low calorie burn), jogging, hula, and step aerobics. The jog was the highest calorie burn, but not as high as “Dancing with the Stars” because you have to stay behind the cartoon figure in the jog. I’ll let you know how it goes as I get more into Wii Fit. For now, I have to admit that I like “Dancing with the Stars” much better than Wii Fit.
Very cool! Good calorie burn numbers! Keep it up!
