    it doesn't have it in here. I use "dancing, aerobic" or I put in my own using my own estimated calorie burn

    I do Zumba on a regular basis and I believe I had to add it in as an exercise on MFP. Do you know how many calories you burned? I use a HRM and the burns I get are not anywhere near what some of the websites give me or what I hear other people say they burn.

    Getting a Heart Rate Monitor is the best way to know how many calories you burn in a class. Tonight I crushed it and burnt 800 calories, most classes I burn 550 - 600. You get out what you put in!

    Hope that helps!

    I looked it up on another site when I first needed it. When I type it in, it comes up. I thought I said I'd share it...

    If it doesn't come up, Google calories burned during Zumba.

    For me, it says 60 min. is 688 calories. I do a very intense Zumba class.

    I thin that still might be a high cal count, but 2 people in my class that have worn monitors said it was the top calorie burning exercise at the rec center they attended.

    I go to Zumba regularly... I had to add it here. I use a heart rate monitor. Tonight I burned a smashing 1156 calories. It is a very high intensity class. Sadly I can only go to this class o. Fridays... My normal class I will still burn 800 - 1050 though.
