Wii Fit users - what's your daily calorie goal?

[SciFiSam]

Mine's 93 and has been for about a year; it doesn't sound much, so I'm considering increasing it. However, since I like doing some of the yoga and muscle exercises as well as aerobic, that already takes about half an hour.

Apologies if this thread has been done before 'Wii Fit' is not searchable.

Mine's more of a time goal. I aim for a 10 to 15 minute session by the Wii's timer. Some days I succeed.

My goal is 30 minutes by the timer, or 200 calories. But the latter is much more difficult.

What are your preferred activities? I like jogging and Island Biking. Hula Hoop is really hard for me.

I don't think I've ever managed that many calories!

I love the hula-hooping - I'm sure it's the reason I'm now good at it in real life too. There are a few yoga poses I think do help counteract sitting at the computer all day, like the palm tree. Jogging's about the only one I don't really do, because I do a fair bit of real jogging when walking the dogs.

Palm tree, and the other leg-balance poses, is a pain for me. At least palm tree uses both feet -- I absolutely cannot do one-leg balance poses or one-leg strength training without support.

For aerobics, I usually mix it up between hula hoop, step, and boxing.

Step is good but it doesn't seem to be a huge calorie burner.

Boxing's fun and a good calorie burner, but I just can't figure out how to do the weave. I've looked up tips online and it still only works about 1 time out of 20.

I have to wonder how accurate the calorie burn numbers are. Obstacle Course doesn't rack up the numbers, but I sure work up a sweat doing that!
