Zumba

Does anyone have a clue on how to count Zumba? I checked under cardio and put in Zumba and nothing came up. The class is an hour long.

Thanks for your help!

I always just put dancing. Zumba, they say, burns about 500-700 calories on average for an hour class. So if MFP doesn't give you that many calories burned, I would adjust it.

I use Aerobics, High Impact because Zumba is at a constant fast pace.

I put in dancing as well. If you are new to Zumba I think the calorie burn it gives you is probably close. If you are a Zumba Master, you'll need to adjust. (Dancing Aerobic is what I use and an hour is 360).

I take a 55 minute Zumba class and my heart rate monitor says that I burn about 340-380 calories. I guess it depends on how full out you do it and your stats.

I used to put it under dancing but added my own Zumba exercise.

I went to my first class last night. I wore my HRM and started right when we began and ended right after the cooldown. Burned 444 calories. (I'm 5'4", 147 lbs.)
