    I wear a HRM and depending on the instructor and day I go, I burn between 800-1200 calories. The classes are either 60 or 90 minutes. I am 29 and weigh 120lbs.

    OK maybe there other one wasn't so high after all....

    Thanks everyone. I defintely put in maximum effort as the sweat rolls off me :-) My husband has a HRM so I might have to borrow it one time to see what it says.
    Thanks again.

    I'm 5'5", 143lb and go at it like the clappers during zumba, and my HRM says anything from 650 - 800.

    I did about 50 minutes of Zumba that included a warm up and stretch out. I used my HRM for the first time and it gave me a reading of 328 calories. It all depends on how rigorous the routine is and how much you throw yourself into it.
