What exercise do you use to log Zumba? I was thinking dance, but not sure. I will be starting a Zumba dvd. Thanks!

    ^ Yep, there is one.
    The calorie burn is only an estimate, so I generally will only log 30-45minutes instead of my full hour class. I estimate based on how hard I worked out/how much I sweat/ect. If you have a HRM on while at classs, go by what it tells you when logging it.

    There is a Zumba entry, but it's really optimistic about the burn. I use an hrm to get a baseline. Also it will differ if you're doing Zumba Gold or Aqua Zumba. Or the level of the Zumba class and how hard you work as in all classes.
