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.
