I researched the pounds I lost for Zumba and it was 538 based on my weight. I logged on MFP as aerobic dancing on the database but in order to get my 538 I had to put 110 minutes of exercise. Has anyone else had to do this? How do you log your zumba class?

    you can change the calories shown in the database. the same way you enter the minutes, just click on the calorie box and change it to what you want it to be

    I wear a heart rate monitor (wrist) and get cals from that. There is also a website other people have posted about. I think it is zumbacalories.com.

    I log my Zumba as Aerobic High Intensity. or go to Zumbacalories.com

    I used my HRM for the first time tonight at got 596 Cal Burned for Zumba, Aerobic High said 532, and Zumbacalories said 596 for Mid Range

    Hope that helps

    before i bought my HRM i would log it as high impact aerobics and it was pretty accurate.

    Thank you! I was just logging Aerobic Dance at 286 calories but the class I go to is VERY intense so I knew that could not be right. I am super drenched and I run ALOT and do not get like that!! I know I have to be burning more so I went to zumba calories.com...
