Zumba WII

gottolosethisweight

I am going to start doing Zumba on the wii. Does anyone know how to track your exercise that you do with Zumba. I found a website that will roughly calculate the calories you burn, but I am not sure how to log it on MFP.

Thanks for the help

I use Aerobics, High Impact to track mine. If you don't think that's accurate enough for you, you can enter exercises manually on the exercise tab. Do a search, then click Add New Exercise at the bottom.

I do Wii Zumba and it tell sme how many calories burned at the end of my workout.
I usually do the short or mid length "class" on Wii.

If you know how many calories you have burned either through a HRM or the website you can manually create an exercise this then gets added to your list of exercises so you can keep using it.

Before i bout my HRM - I just used that "Zumba calories burned" calculator that's online... somewhere... But my personal opinion is that a HRM is going to give you a more accurate reading of how hard you're actually working. That's how I know I push harder at the in-person classes vs. doing the Wii Zumba.

I know a lot of people say it's not needed (HRM, that is)... but I use mine religiosly to track my calories burned, how hard I'm pushing at my workouts, etc.

I highly suggest getting a HRM. I have the Polar FT4. MFP was OVERLY overestimating my calories burned with activities prior to getting my HRM. I mean like 400-500 calories off! That can make or break your week!
