Okay, so I've been doing the DDR workout for about 6 weeks now.
For the first three weeks, I played about 40-50 minutes every single day. After that, I backed down, and I play on an average of 3-5 times a week now.
At this point, I play on Standard difficulty, and I just play random tracks until the Xbox version tells me I've hit 600 calories (which usually takes 45-50 minutes). Keep in mind that the Xbox version only counts cals when you step, not by how long you are playing. Also, those 600 calories usually equate (according to Konami) to 3.4 miles jogged.
Now, today I wanted to try something different, so I went to the workout room of my apartment complex, and I went on the eliptical machine (a Reebok Body Trec) and went for 40 minutes at a mid-range difficulty. After I was done, I was WAY more tired than DDR usually gets me, and also more sweat drenched. However, it said I had only burned 398 calories, and gone 2.1 miles.
So my question is this: If I feel more tired, but the numbers are lower, after the Eliptical workout, which one is actually doing more good? Is the DDR workout mode THAT inaccurate?
