    The more you weigh the more you burn. For instance, I wear a HRM to mine at 220 lbs I burn anywhere from 540-600 calories in an hour. The Zumba calories burned calculator on line was generally a little less. No matter what it burns a heck of alot of calories so shake it baby! :)

    Wow, I've been doing Zumba the past couple of weeks, and just logging it as "Dancing, General". According to this thread I've been grossly underestimating my calorie burn! My HRM needs a new battery, I should take care of that and track it for real!
