    I use my heart rate monitor calculated my calories burned and then added my own workout and calories burned. :)

    I log it under "Dancing, General". My instructor tells us we burn between 400 and 700 calories per session, but it obviously changes depending on the dances, effort, etc.

    Thats what our instructor tells us too. Everyone is going to burn a different amount and the more muscle mass you already have the more you will burn if I am not mistaking. I was curious just how much I was burning in an hour session because we lift weights and do situps and butt exercises and I came out at 752 to some days as much as 900 calories burned. Great workout I tell ya!!!

    I created my own so it comes out as Zumba. i usually burn @450-700 cals. per class but I just leave it at 500 cals. It depends on the intensity. Overall Zumba its a great workout!! I Love it ♥
