I can't find calorie count for doing zumba for 30 minutes anyone how many calorie?

  • Yes...go to www.zumbacalories.com and it will give you approximately how many calories burned based off your weight and age. I always log it as aerobics, high impact and input the figure the website gives me :-) Hope this helps!

    I weigh 150 at 5'3" and burn about 500 in an hour of Zumba (using my heart rate monitor). It's pretty much equivalent to an hour of walking/jogging in my neighborhood with lots of hills.

    For comparison, I checked the calculator and it's almost spot on (within about 30 calories).

    depending on how much jumping and bouncing and the instructor, I log it as Aerobics low or high impact.
    Sometimes I adjust the amount of time to less than an hour too depending on how much time between songs.
  • Thank you all for the information just started today I will get this all figured out!
