Hello everyone,
I do Zumba for an hour three times per week. I am not sure what I should be logging it under? I think I usually put it under modern or twist... something like that. I want to be recording it accurately. So what does everyone else put their Zumba time under?

    I use an HRM and track what I've really burned. I've seen others track it as aerobic dance.

    I used "high impact aerobics" until I got my HRM.

    I use a HRM as well and log it under zumba. Ive seen people use either both low impact or high impact excericse as well as aerobic dance. For a hour of zumba i burn around 610-625 calories.

    I added it under my cardio exercise in my exercise diary. Before I got a HRM, I was estimating 500 cals burned/hour. Now that I have my HRM, I am burning any where from 480-600 cals /hours. So I was estimating pretty close.
