Are DDR 2 Calorie Calculations correct?

When playing Dance Dance Revolution (Extreme 2) also known as DDR, you can set the playstyle to "workout mode". In workout mode, the game tells you how many calories you have burned. These calculations are based on your weight and obviously your movement around the mat. I am just wondering if these calculations are at all correct because I seem to be burning A LOT of calories on this game. About 600 calories/hour for my weight. Am I really burning this many calories by using this game or is this just an estimation...?

Hi, I'm a big ddr guy, and I Know What you're talking about. But yea, if you play on heavy, you verry well could be burning that many calories.

Still, it is only a machine, and it's limited to it's estimations. It thinks you burn so many calories per beat, the thing is each beat has a different movment of your foot, plus how hard you stomp, what technique of how you play determains exactly how many calories you burn. Some times when I play, I just bearly move my feet, and burn very few calories. Yet other times when I play, I can do the same song, and do it with radical foot movements and burn probably 2 times the calories, but the machine would tell me I burned the same amount because it cant tell how radically I move my feet.

It's a pretty complicated consept, but if it's saying your burning 600 calories an hour, I asume you're a good enough player to understand what I'm talking about.

But at most, I would say it's about about 50% accurate (at minimum) so if it says you're burning 600 calories an hour, I would say that you probably burned anywhere from 200 calories to 800 calories, depending on your DDR style. Another thing to take into accountability is that the company that made DDR, konami, probably boosted the calory stats a bit to get more people to buy if since they knew they could loose so much weight.

But I hope that helps man, have fun. DDR FOREVER!!
God bless.
