Help! I can't find zumba in the database

Suzex

I have just tried out Zumba on the Wii and can't find it in the exercise database anywhere. Is there an accurate alternative I can use?

Thanks

P.S anyone got any recommmendations for Fitness Wii games that will help me lose the pounds?

Thanks again

zumbacalories.com Then you can add the exercise to your own database.

I have Exerbeat for the Wii and I love it. Really like the Boxercising.

i have put zumba xbox hrm in the database which is the same as the wii and it is also very close to zumbacalories.com so maybe you want to use mine

I had the same problem. I was entering "modern dance" or something like that and it was saying I was only burning 200-300 cal/hour. I recommend getting a heart rate monitor and tracking your own calories. I did that and it said I was actually burning 800-1000 cal/hour!

Brilliant, thank you

Hi, where can i get one from and how much are they roughly?

Thanks

Thanks for posting this, I've been having the same problem. I've been using "dance, general" and it comes in at a ridiculously low amount of calories so I'll definitely be using one of the options above.:flowerforyou:

Suzex

Thanks I'll look into that

I got a Polar FT4 for Christmas and they run about $80. It comes with a chest strap and a watch that you wear. Very comfortable and easy to set up and use. I found that the estimates both here and at the gym were pretty high compared to what I was actually burning.

I put it in as an aerobics class with the appropriate time (my Zumba lady has us working pretty hard). It is definitely not as accurate as a hrm though.

The Zumba I have tells me calories etc, so I put my own in MFP. As for others, I love ALL the Wii Sports (they count too) as well as the Wii Fit is AWESOME b/c it not only gives you yoga, exercises & FUN things to do but it also weighs you, does body tests etc. It has everything in my opinion! I love my Zumba but I LOVE my Wii Fit too! Heck I'm addicted to the Wii period! lol

That seems a bit high?

According to this

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercise/SM00109

you'll burn about 1000 kcal / hour if you're 200lbs and running 7-minute-miles for an hour. That's pretty fast, equivalent to running a 23 minute 5k time.
