    go to zumbacalories.com and then you can manually enter. They provide the best estimate for you if you don't have a HRM =D

    I used a HRM to get my calories burned in an hour and created my own exercise, but before that, I was doing belly dancing or aerobic modern dance. They aren't as accurate as a HRM though.

    I enter it as Aerobics (High/Low) and use the numbers from my HRM for calories burned.

    I do zumba classes and usually burn 850 kcal a class which is quite a bit higher than what zumbacalories.com estimated.

    I use my Fitbit. I record my calorie burn before I start and after and count the difference.
