I love it! It's not the only exercise I do, but it is by far my favorite. I haven't done any of the DVDs, but I do take a live class, and I also use Zumba Fitness Rush and Zumba Fitness Core for the xbox.0

Do you track your Zumba sessions on MFP? I went to add my class from today and Zumba was not an option -- MFP suggested I find a similar activity to use for the calorie burn rate, I'm curious what other people chose to use.0

It's a shame MFP doesn't have Zumba as an option. I went on the website and you can insert your intensity and how long and it gives you a rough average of how many calories you should burn doing the workout. I put mine in as high impact aerobics since I do go all out during the routine, and it actually comes out a bit lower than what Zumba says you should be burning. So I figure if it's a little lower, than I can't complain much!0 -
MFP doesn't have it listed but YOU can add it...then go to zumbacalories and calculate approx. calorie burn, I error on the low side.0

Here I am!!!! Instructor here, I do zumba about 6 times a week in addition to my Kettlebell workouts. I wear an HRM which is best since your intensity levels differ all of the time.0

When I started losing weight I was a zumba fanatic! Going to classes 2x weekly. I ended up buying a heart rate monitor so I knew how many calories I was actually burning per class. I was shocked to see that I was burning between 700-800 calories per class! Because of a hectic school schedule, I stopped going to zumba in the early summer. Tonight it my first class back. I am nervous but so ready to 'get back to basics'.0

I used to love Zumba but my favorite instructor just got in big trouble. I think I even heard she got arrested. :devil:0

I use this site for right now, but I would like to get a good HRM soon.0 -
I Zumba!
-45 pounds from doing Zumba. I started with the Wii game and then went to a live class and now do 2 classes a week plus work out at home an hour a day. I have downloaded the songs my instructor uses and I memorized the choreography so that I can do it at home. I push harder, move faster, jump higher and all around enjoy myself more in a live class then at home! You really have to push when you are at home by yourself!0 -
Love Zumba!!!!! I use the Zumba Fitness System DVD.......I use an android application called cardio trainer. It has zumba listed as a workout. I actually use cardio trainer for all workouts. I downloaded a new app today called Endomondo. I am going to try it out tomorrow.0

Def use an HRM. Online says between 500-1000 calories, but since I'm smaller, I burn less calories--about 380-400 per class. That's a big difference from what they estimate! If you want to use MFP, just type in "dancing" and see what comes up.0 -
Here is a great website to track what is being burned off! I am Zumba for LIFE!! http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc0

I wear cross trainers they do not have as much of a tread like running shoes do0 -
LOVE Zumba! I take classes 3 nights a week, and we have the DVDs, although we rarely use those to be honest. Much more fun in person !!
I've lost 20 inches total so far- 9 of which were around my waist!!!
I've never lost weight there like that... it's always the very last place I loose it, and it's steadily dropping, even more so than other areas. Pretty amazing.0
