    I posted it under dancing,modern until I got my HRM, the estimates under dancing, modern are pretty close to what I came up on my HRM.

    I've been putting Zumba under "Dancing, general" and then adjusting the calories burned using zumbacalories.com

    Good to know that. I went off of the zumbacalories website calculator, I wondered if that was kind of a "teaser" to get you to believe you burn that many calories.
    All I know is I have fun at it. That's all that counts for me. :)

    You can create your own exercise and call it "Zumba" that might be easier, just a suggestion tho. :)
