My daughter is exercising by taking Zumba classes. Her classes are 45 min to one hour. Does anyone know how many calories are burned by classes like Zumba? Thanks a bunch!

    I don't go to the actual classes, but I play it on my wii, and I give it everything I have, it takes me weight information and height at the beginning, im about 145lbs, and after 25 mins of zumba, it usually says I have burned around 250 calories....;i hope this helps at least some?

    I think everyone is different and the only way to know for sure is to wear a HRM. However, there is a zumba calculator too.. It tells me for my age and weight I would burn 506 cals in one hour, but when I wear my HRM I always burn about 700 in an hour. Of course, different instructors teach differently too, some more high impact than others and that impacts the count too.

    everyone is different

    I asked my instructor and she said a 60 min class burns between 400 to 600 calories, so I always log as the low end of the scale just to be conservative. Without a HRM I don't truly know, even though I do work hard in the class.
