maybe log it under dancing?0

Yes, log it under dancing (aerobic). I heard you can't use Zumba in a tracking menu because the name is trademarked and you need their permission or something.0

I usually log it under Dance Aerobics, Ballet modern twist...0

Create your own workout if you need to, I know I did for some of my workout videos. I also found another site that gives you estimated calories burned. http://www.calories-burned.buddyslim.com/
This is what I shows for Zumba: Zumba burns about 536 calories per hour
Hope this helps.0 -
ahhh okay thanks ladies0

If you have the extra money, I would suggest buying a heart rate monitor. I have noticed that MFP overshoots on how many calories were actually burned. However, for the time being you could just apply dancing & adjust the calories burned, if neccessary.0

I added Zumba to my cardio. Approx 1000 cals per hour depending on each individual. Hope this helps :flowerforyou:0
