    I added the exercise to my exercises, calling it Zumba HRM. My calories burnt can vary bt about 100 cals, depending on the class so using a Heart Rate Monitor is your best option.

    Yes, in the cardio section. I was wondering the same thing and found the website zumbacalories.com. There's a calculator there that gives you a pretty good estimate. I believe I added it into the database.

    I did a high intensity class lastnight at the gym and the teacher said we had burnt around 700kcal in 1 hr.

    I have also just purchased myself a good Heart Rate Monitor watch that counts my kcal and fat. So this will come in good use.
