I'm 5'5 and 153 pounds.
I heard That Zumba burns a lot of calories? Is that true or just a myth??
If not than how much calories would I burn doing Zumba?

It can vary greatly with everyone...depending on their weight, the intensity they put into it...

I'm 5'0" and 119 and I typically burn 450 - 500 for a one hour class. But my instructor is hard and we do a lot more bouncing/hip hop type of moves. It's a great workout though and tons of fun! I wear a HRM so my burn amount is pretty accurate.

It just depends on how much cardio is done. I do the classes at the gym, work up a huge sweat, and burn around 600-700 calories in a hour long session.
