There is a zumba calories burned app online. Is this accurate? It seems high but i want to be accurate. Please let me know.

    I usually burn between 600-800 cals doing zumba, and I have a body media Fit that goes off of my actual burn, so if the numbers were around there they could be pretty accurate.

    Because everyone burns calories at a different rate, if you have no other way to track it by your specific chemistry, it should be about right.

    Any calorie count is just an estimate. I use a HRM but my burn is more on the 400-450 range. Online calculators estimate me to be about double that.

    How does the HRM work? I see alot of people use them, but don't know much about them. Is it something you wear all day or just when you are working out?
  • We use HM bracelets too, and we burn about 600 a for a 1 hour class.
