    I use as HRM and chart calories burned for the duration of the exercise. The amount of calories burned in Zumba can vary so much depending on how good your instructor is and how much you are "moving" it.

    I put it under a dance category. I use a HRM and burn about 400 cals an hour or so...

    If you don't have a HRM, log it at modern/aerobic dance (taking in consideration how hard you worked).

    Here is a link to to a calculator that a zumba instructor desgned to help determine how much you are burning according to your weight, intensity of the zumba class(or wii game), and the amount of time you spent exercisng.
