Wow so at low impact I burned 598 for 70min worth acording to the zumba cal.com site...can this really be right?? That is an awesome burn for dancing round..I kinda feel like it can't be that much!!

Good question! I do a zumba class 3-4 times a week at my gym but I've just been putting it in as aerobics. My workouts are 60 min and it usually comes out around 450 calories.

Depends how how much and how intense you move
My HRM usually shows a burn of about 500 calories
for 45 min

I used 500 cals when I did a class, so it is probably right!

I burn around 600 a class and thats at high impact
that site was not accurate on what I should burn in the class

I would suggest getting a HRM so that you can accurately count your calories

I can also burn up to 700 a class if I have a different instructor

Yes, it does depend on the instructor and also the effort you put into it. The max I've done in 60 mins was slightly over 1000 cals but my average is between 450 (minimum effort) and 875 (high effort) in my normal 50 minute class. I use a HRM for all my exercises including P90x routines.
Good luck!

I put in low/moderate intensity to my Zumba classes about 4 times per week, my best friend Alexis is the instructor so I know the routines pretty well. I have a Heart Rate Monitor set to my weight, age and gender, and on average I burn between 550 to 650 calories from start to finish in a 60 minute class including the cooldown and stretching at the end.
