When I try to add Zumba to my exercise, it doesn't seem to exist. Help??? I know many are using this as a way to exercise so I can't understand why I can't add it to my exercise for the day....

I just log it as dancing (since that is what Zumba technically is)0

I had been logging it as Dance but I just created my own exercise and titled it zumba. I done the calculation at http://caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned. You put in your weight, amount of time you done it and intensity level and it will tell you what you average burned.0

Thanks for the suggestions. I was just surprised it isn't listed since it has become a popular part of fitness programs.0

I use my HRM to log all my cardio, I find it's much more accurate than any of the calculations you find online.0

Me too!!! I've found that I burn quite a different amount with different classes/ instructors!0 -
It's best to use a HRM. But I used to log it as aerobics high impact because our zumba class instructor is just crazy! lol I find myself burning a little over 500 cals most of the time doing my zumba class. i guess it depends ond the instructor and on how much you put into it. I push every move to the limit...which makes me look like a complete idiot most of the time! I love zumba! :happy:0
