How many are burned in an hour long class (trust me, I work it during that hour) and how do I track them on here? I've ben going for a month and am thrilled with the toning it's helping me with! any advise to help the pooch tummy though? I do the elliptical for an hour a couple times a week too (when they don't offer zumba classes...I'm addicted)

    Hi, try http://www.zumbacalories.com/ Its not bad, i just tested it against my zumba cals burnt this morn & it was only about 30 cals out.

    I was using mfp for estimating cals burned for almost a yr before buying a heart rate monitor & turned out i had been underestimating. My HRM is one of the best things i've ever bought. If u are serious u shld get one!

    The stomach pooch i cannot help u with, that a major prob for me :o/

    I've been using zumbacalories.com on the advise of somebody on here too, i dont have a hrm so i dont know how accurate it is but it seems to give a pretty good indication, i select the moderate intensity to make sure im not under or over estimating.
