    Im in!!! Starting weight 223! Zumba burns about 1000 a night for me in addition to my 3 mile walks!

    What do you type in to the exercise tracker to get calories for Zumba??? If I type just Zumba is says no results found? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    It's not in there. MFP has mostly basic exercises.. If you have a HRM, just create your own exercise labeled Zumba and enter your calories from your HRM, otherwise, try general dancing. MFP often sets calories burned too high, maybe check out the activity calculator on caloriesperhour.com, it's very close to what my heart rate monitor says for me. Then just create your Zumba exercise on here using those numbers :)

    I use a heart rate moniter (waist band and watch). THE best investment I have made, with regard to setting and meeting an exercise goal. ($100 Got mine at my gym, but I'm sure you can find them online.)

    My first class I burned 400 calories in 45 minutes. Most burn more, so that would be a safe calorie count.

    Ok - gonna give it a better shot this month! :bigsmile:

    As for the Zumba calories burn....I burn anywhere from 250-800 calories depending on the teacher, the routines, and how hard I push it. Definitely get a HRM so you can get a more accurate burn.

    I will try this :) I am going to be starting a day late and I have a thing I will have to attend in middle June for a few days. I also can not work out on Tuesdays, but I will still try :).

    About me:

    My name is Brandon and I began my lifestyle change in September of 2010. I am not far from my goal weight but I have now began focusing more on percent body fat. I have lost around 65 pounds to date. Although I am still considered overweight based on my BMI I am proud to say I am no longer obese. Hopefully by the end of June and by completing this challenge I will make it into the "normal" weight range. Good luck to everyone trying this it will be tough!
