    probably just cardio? I am wondering the same thing for the kettlebell workouts!

    I actually looked up how many calories it burned and then added it into my workout. The options that are there do not offer Zumba, but I think it should.

    I heard my instructor say he will get us to burn 700 to 1000 caories in our 50 minute class. So I either do Tae Bo, high intensity dance or kickboxing. If you get another suggestion, let me know!

    I do zumba and also wear the bodybugg. I have found fitness pal to be very accurate with my bodybugg. I use the high impact aerobics options under cardio and the calories burned are right on, so I think you should feel good about using that option. I have never burned 800 calories even at my heaviest.

    I added it under cardiovascular exercises. I have a hrm so I enter time and calories burned accurately.
