Hi, I'm new, so sorry if this is stated somewhere already!

I'm logging my exercise and see that there is no specific category for Zumba. Do I classify it as high intensity aerobics?

Thanks :)

    People that own a HRM use that and just create a exercise. Other people I know that don't own a HRM use the www.zumbacalories.com website

    You could also log it as high impact aerobics... would probably be a pretty similar burn.

    ^ really its high impact? I am thingking of logging it instead between the intermediate level. I guess i based the high impact as jillian michaela videos. Zumba is too fun to be high impact. I might be enjoying it too much

    I went to zumbacalories website then manually added it as you can adjust how intense your class is and your weight/height.

    Hope you enjoy zumba!

    I log it as low impact aerobics.
