How to count new zumba routine?

How do you guys count a new zumba or aerobics routine? Of course zumba is listed as an exercise but I'm trying new routines I don't know well yet, and I don't feel like I'm really getting a high level of calorie burn until I've got the routines down and can really work it. But, I do want to give myself some credit! So I did about 75 minutes of muddling through new routines, how would you count this (or, would you)?

    I would just use a portion of the calories. So if it gave you say 100 calories only eat back 50-75 based on how much you feel you really did.

    You could log 45 minutes rather than the whole 75 if you don't want to credit yourself for a high calorie burn.
