What is the legit calorie count for a Zumba class....it's pretty individual I would think, but so is everyting else? How is karate figured? Ballet? Help me!!!!

    Best thing is to get a heart rate monitor. I burn between 600-700 during zumba but it will vary on how hard you're working.

    I know you can go to zumbacalories.com, and it will give you a estimate as to how many calories you have burned. Hope this helps Godd Luck!!!

    heart rate monitor or body bugg is the only way to be accurate

    A HRM is the best way to go. Yesterday I took 2 Zumba classes, and one was definitely a better calorie burner than the other. Unforunately, I forgot to bring my HRM, so I put 350 calories for 1 and 450 for the second.
