Does anyone out there know how many calories 20 minutes of Zumba Fit actually burns?

    A heart rate monitor is the best way to get an exact count of calories. My friend does the Zumba class and burns about 600 calories an hour when she posts her exercise....I hope this helps a bit!

    I haven't done Zumba but my suggestion is to get a heart rate watch monitor (Walmart for $25.00) and you would be able to get an accurate calorie burn because it's based on your own heart rate and how hard you're working out. I have one and find that I burn more calories than the average that websites tell you!

    What is zumba Fit? Is that something different than actual zumba?

    I've been doing zumba for about 2 months now, on average I burn 500-600 cals per hour. I also recommend and HRM. I splurged and got a Polar F6, LOOOOOOVE IT. and LOOOOOOVE zumba. I'm 5'1" 144 I use zumba in my exercise diary so it should be in the database right? If your around my stats (which I doubt, I'm so damn short) you can use that!

    Good luck and ariba!
