    How do you track your calories burned for Zumba? I couldn't find it??? I have been going twice a week at the gym. The class is an hour long, and my goodness I sweat....

    You're supposed to track it through a calorie counter/heart rate monitor. That way you get an accurate reading of the calories burned during your zumba class. I guess it at around 500 calories per 1 hour session, though I'm always told it's usually around 600-700 per 1 hour session.

    Hey guys...sorry I haven't been checking on a regular basis. I was out of town for the 4th of July weekend and sadly didn't do any Zumba. Hopefully I can get in some Zumba time tonight!! I really need to kick things into high gear because my husband is coming home in 20 days for R&R from overseas and I wanted to be 130 but right now I will settle for 135.

    I hope yall don't mind if I start posting here! :)

    I take Zumba many times a week!!!! As a matter of fact, I teach some also.... Going to get certified in a couple of weeks, but my instructor has started letting me teach a couple of songs so I can become comfortable with it.

    So tonight..... 60 mins of Zumba......

    Now tomorrow is my LONG day! 60 mins of Zumba in the morning, and then 2 back to back Zumba classes, 120 mins! Yikes! :)

    Oh, I wish I'd seen this sooner. :( I've been doing Zumba 6 days a week for 55 - 60 min unless some other obligation prevents it. I love Zumba! It's the most fun workout I've ever done. And I think my abs are in the best shape ever.
