My fave workout. 4-5 times a week! I burned 772 calories doing an hour yesterday! I'm pretty intense, but that gives you a range! I LOVE the community!

VERY WORTH IT! burns about 800-900 calories an hour! Go for it. Shake your booooty!

I am 150 lbs and I only burn about 350 calories in 45 minutes. It will not burn 800-900 calories for everyone. Get an HRM.

I'm with ChristyFrank here. I am 137 and only burn around 375 in a 55 minute class. Now, I think I have a bad instructor who takes frequent long breaks so my heart rate crashes and is not sustained. It's fun, but I can definitely burn more calories in the same amount of time doing other things that I like (spinning for example-love it and burn 425-475 in a 45 minute class). I also have zumba for wii and still don't burn as many calories as other folks say and I too am using a HRM.

Not sure how accurate my HRM is but it said I burned 980 calories in Zumba tonight. I used 3 lb wrist weights throughtout the hr and added 3 lb hand weights for some of the toning songs. Does that seem like a lot?
