A lot of the games on Sports Resort have similar counterparts on Wii Sports, which is already on SP. If I play ping pong, I enter it in as Wii Tennis, I enter Swordfight in as Boxing, since the movements are pretty similar. I just try to think about the movements and try to compare it as best as possible to a game on Wii Sports (Frisbee = Wii Golf, Basketball = Wii Baseball).

It is like the Body Bugg they use on Biggest Loser but it seems to be a lot more efficient and there are a ton of people on Sparks that use it:

Hubs is running out today to get me my early birthday present... wish it was a GoWear Fit but those are too expensive. Instead, the Biggest Loser Wii game is 50% off at Best Buy ($19.99) and I have $15 in rewards so the game will cost us $4.99!! Happy Birthday to me!

Thanks everyone! I guess I won't count this game towards my Fitness minutes unless I am playing the Bowling or something (which can be tracked under Wii Sports - Bowling).

I plan on getting a GoWear Fit down the line once money picks up... until then I guess I will count any extra calories burned (but not tracked) as a surprise blessing.

I use my Go Wear Fit when I play the Sports Resort, and on average for the games that I'm playing, it works out to about 2 calories per minute, based on my weight. I play this game for fun, not for burning calories, as it doesn't burn as much as Wii Fit, or the EA Active games.

I got the game for Christmas too. Are the games aerobic? Could you just imput the activity and spark fitness would calculate it? I don't know, I am just asking if its possible.

If you have a heart rate monitor, that would probably be the best way.

Does anyone know if there is an online calculator for calories burned while playing the Wii Sports Resort? I just received it for Christmas and would love to track my minutes/calories burned!

Thanks much and Merry Christmas!
