zumba question

I don't have a HRM and wanted to know what other people put as the closest thing to zumba when entering exercise.

Hi, I have a HRM and when doing Zumba (the at home dvd's) I usually average about 75 calories every 10 minutes, or I'd go with dancing, general in the workout area under cardio. Zumba is so much fun!

go to fitclick.com they use your weight sex and all that stuff and will calculate your calorie burn for all kinds of exercise.

I do Zumba regularly and I burn anywhere from 375-650 calories per class depending on the teacher, chosen choreography, and how much effort I put in to it. I would go by your perceived exertion as well. If you felt like you pushed yourself harder and sweat more... log more calories burned.
