I just wanted to say I am one week in on tracking my food and exercise and I must say this website has made such a difference! I haven't had a lot of sucess with weight loss. I am hoping this is the tool that can finally help me reach my goals! My family is jumping on board as well and joining my community - I am super excited!

Does anyone know how many calories you can burn in 40 minutes of wii zumba?

Thanks!!!! :wink:

    it says 526 on line on a calorie counter for 40 minute wii zumba, I google all the things I cant find. I cant confirm that it is correct - but that is what it said. Welocme - I am also in my first week!!! I love MFP - it is working great for me. Good luck keep it up!!!

    Welcome!

    The calories burned with wii Zumba is really going to depend on your intensity / weight / height / fitness level etc. I have a heart rate monitor and ~40 minutes of wii zumba would burn 220 calories for me. That could be different for you based on those variables I mentioned.

    I'm also on my first week and LOVE MFP. I am obsessed with logging everything. I guess this is the jump start I needed to get out of my plateau and start losing again. This site and accompanying phone app rocks!!!! I am so thankful I found it. The help and advice here is priceless! :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

    Welcome:) I am almost a week in myself, and loving it. I use the blackberry app to track food/fitness and then log in on my laptop at night to check in here and see what's up. It's great that your family is getting involved!!

    Hey there!! MFP is great! I was working out for 2 months and lost nothing but as soon I started using MFP the weight started coming off!! I couldn't believe it. I started just over a month ago and I've lost 9 lbs already!! I tried doing the Wii Zumba but I think I lost my ablility to dance when I hit my 30's! LOL!! Good luck on weight loss! Feel free to add me as a friend!
