Hi, I've just started Zumba and it's a great workout.

How do you record calories burned for Zumba?

thanks

    i figured that since the website says you burn between 500-700 calories a class that i would go about half and say 600 calories. i entered it and saved it so that I could use it again in my exercises then adjust based on what i felt my "effort" or how good the workout was that night. if you have a HRM that would give you a better idea of what you burn at each class. not exactly scientific, but it works for me.

    I've read that 1 hour of intense zumba can burn up to 800 calories per hour? It depends on your weight, fitness levels, and how vigorous the class you go to is as well. Would be best to wear a heart monitor to the class to get an accurate number.

    It's fun though so I'm not bothered how much it burns, as long as you keep at it!
