hi guys, how many calories in average can you burn doing zumba 20 minute express (well done)
I know it depends on your weight, I am 166lbs... :happy:
And:
What do you guys say if we all try it out for a few weeks and see what results we get (with pics)??
I chose this exercise because when done correctly it really makes you sweat and I think it's even
considered high impact and because I don't really have time to do the longer ones, I'm a mother with a full time job :sick:

So if anyone has the info about how many calories you can burn doing 20 minutes and also let me know who's in for the challenge!!! We can start this weekend! :happy:

    a HRM will give the most accurate numbers for calories burned. outside of that this website is pretty popular

    I own a HRM and when I input my stats using the above site they are pretty darn close. within 100-150 difference, my Polar HRM being the higher of the 2.

    yeah! That's why I love zumba, it's the only workout I like, I love dancing! Any other workout just feels like torture to me... :D
