Hello Everyone! I absolutely love Zumba but it is not on the exercise list! Any suggestions on what it might be considered??

    I created my own exercise under cardio. Its hard to know what the "burn" is. I usually log it as 300 calories for 1 hour. I don't see it as all the strenuous although its lots of fun.

    I would log it under one of the 'dance' categories if you don't have an HRM to get a better calorie estimate.

    I also love love love Zumba! I agree, go to zumbacalories.com. I have successfully lost weight using their calculations! I also have a HRM, which gives me a higher result..but I log and eat according to zumbacalories.

    Just keep in mind that a website cannot take your actual effort into account, your HRM can.
