Zumba - calories burned

nicleed

I'm off to a 90-minute Zumba class for charity tonight. I suspect there will be lots of fun and games, with some Zumba thrown in. Zumba is not in the exercise database! I don't have a HRM, I do have a pedometer with a calorie counter. How do I guestimate?(and I am happy for some guesswork, because I know it depends on so many variables.)

Thanks in advance

Wow - 90 mins even at low intensity is 750 cals according to that calculator. I should do Zumba more often!

Using my HRM my burn for 90min would be about 600 cal. A lot depends of your height, weight, age and fitness level.

I burn 600 to 750 a class!

I suspect given it's a charity thing, it won't be full-on Zumba for 90 minutes.

Or at least, I hope so!
