    I wear a heart rate monitor to my spin class. I'm 5'4", 145. I do 80 minutes, high intensity with some warm up and cool down. My HRM logs me at 900 calories which is around an average of 11 calories per minute. I would think that your calories for a 45 minute class would be 300-400 calories.

    And yes, there is NO WAY that Zumba 1000 calories in a 45 minute class. I've taken Zumba and my heart rate never peaks past 150.

    Intensity wise, I make sure i'm the last one standing... so don't think that I slack off due to a generic measurement on an app. I don't have a heart rate monitor so I can't be precise...
    How can you take breaks in spin anyway? Must not have a very good trainer if that's the case.
