Does anyone know how you could acurately count calories burned when you do a beginner's hour of Zumba? I sweated like crazy so I know something was working!

    I depends on your intensity. I burn 450-550 I know some can burn upto 1000. I do lower impact the hopping and jumping around hurts my knees, but I can do some. Height and body weight also plays a part

    Most people will just tell you to get a heart rate monitor.

    I am a Zumba instructor and I use a heart rate monitor, but you can go to Zumbatotalparty.com to calculate calories burned or go the MFP exercise options and look up Zumba.
