    I love Zumba. I did not think I would ever like a classroom setting for exercising. But with Zumba I do. Did it last spring with a group of girls and had a blast. I could not make it over the summer and the group no longer meets. I bought the tapes and they are just not as much fun a the classroom setting. I would love to go to another one but there is not one close by at this time that I can make it to. Good luck with your Zumba!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am not big into exercise classes as well but Zumba feels more like dancing and a party!! I have the DVDs as well as yes, not as much fun alone!!! I live in Rochester NY and there are several Zumba classes around but most are quite costly per class or you have to be a member of the club in order to take the class. Hopefully we will see more Zumba in our Cities!! Check out Zumba.com if you haven't to find classes as well!! Maybe a new one has been added.

    Does anyone know how many calories are burned after an hour of Zumba? Trying to add this to my food diary and it won't give me a number.
    Thanks!:happy:

    They say you can burn up to 1,000 calories an hour. Now I don't know how true that is. I would like to buy something to wear that I can check total calories burned.
    I looked up Zumba on this site and use that as my base. I just don't really know how accurate it is.....

    There is a calculator you can google and it let you selects the intensity of the workout too. I feel like it estimates high though.

    If you want to calculate zumba calories try zumbacalories.com. I compared it to my heart rate monitor and it was pretty close. I love zumba, but I do mine at home on the wii.

    You can go to zumbacalories.com & it will give you a guesstimate of how much you burn & at what intensity.

    it doesn't matter, you can do your own thing if you can't quite get it - it's all about the fun you have trying ;)
