    I went to this website: http://caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned/ to get the calories burned doing zumba and added to my exercise. Not sure how accurate it is but it gives me a little over 600 calories based off my weight, mins and intensity.

    I used that website prior to buying my hrm and I have to say the website does a pretty good job of estimating the calories burned. I think it was within 100 calories. I weight about 204 now and burn approx. 582 calories every hour long Zumba class.

    Zumba Lover right here! I usually go to 3 - 4 classes per week if I can. It is the perfect stress reliever. I travel with work quite a bit so I'll even look up classes in the cities where I'm traveling to get my Zumba buzz.

    I love it!

    I'm just getting into Zumba and I have so much fun doing it that I don't feel like I'm working out! I have one DVD at home, but it's the same routine, so now I'm taking a class at the gym! I can only get the class once per week, because the other sessions are scheduled too early for me to attend, but I go diligently and look forward to it!

    I attended my first Zumba Class on October 15th, 2011. I was down about 20lbs. when I started and went 2x a week, by the end of November, I was going 3x a week, and by January I joined 24 Hour Fitness so I could go all the time and save money! I now go 4-6 times a week, and am registered to get Certification on November 11th! Zumba :heart:

    I love Zumba. Was going 2x a week (in addition to 3 strength workouts), but re-injured my knee so had to lay off for a while. I'm looking forward to getting back to it within the next few weeks. it's way more interesting than any other kind of working out, for me.

    ZUMBA FREAK here! :tongue:

    Just went to a big Zumba event for breast cancer yesterday. Danced for over 6 hours. ...with a few breaks in between! :smile:

    I attend 3 land classes a week and 2 aqua Zumba classes a week as well. Hoping to start Zumba toning classes if my schedule allows.

    Zumba is what helped me lose my 99 lbs. I started Zumba over 300 lbs and just about died the first time. I almost didn't go back, but the music was awesome, the girls were awesome and gave another try. Glad I did!

    Zumba is awesome! so fun and def burns a lot of cals. I like live classes the best cuz I tend to get into them more and push myself - maybe because there's other people around going hard so we motivate eachother. But I also do zumba on wii and I've found some really cool routines from trainers all over the world on youtube.

    Thanks!! btw... I use a BodyMedia Fit Armband, and my calories burned have dropped significantly from when I was over 200lbs. I used to easily burn 590-610, and now that I am sooo much lighter, and my body doesn't have to work as hard, I burn between 430-500 in a 1 hour class.

    Me!!! Me!!!

    I go to a class. 3x/wk. And if work allows it, I try to go 5x/wk--just depending on work. I have lost over 40. My daughter has lost 50. One of my nieces lost 80.

    Even if I'm sick, I still get up there. I. Am. Addicted.

    Yes, my name is Lesa, and I am a Zumba-holic!!

    Got to say I bought Zumba Core yesterday for Wii and I tried it tonight after my Turbo fire and it was really fun!!! I sweated like crazy I like that you can also customize your own workout. When I am in better shape I will look up some classes to do live it seems to be really popular in gyms around here.

    I loved it so much that I became licensed and now teach 3-5 times/week! I make up choreography in the car, on my walks, anytime a good beat passes my ears! Zumba has changed my life. When I just need a power hour to myself, I love the Exhilaration!

    I discovered Zumba this past spring when my friend let me "borrow" her Zumba Fitness 2 Wii game. Well, I still have it and continue to use it weekly. I love that I can work out at my home with no equipment and it doesn't matter if I have my pj's on or my hair is sticking up or whatever. I also like dancing in the comfort of my home because I'm not very coordinated or "sexy", so I'm sure I look like a complete idiot, and the only people watching me are my kids and my dog, and occasionally my husband. I will get up to Zumba even though I would not get up to walk or do another exercise DVD. Since I've gotten serious about losing weight, I have been trying to Zumba at least 3-4 times a week for at least 30 minutes at a time. If I do the high intensity full length class on the game, I sometimes burn 800 calories or more in a little over an hour!!! That is amazing!!! I choose to Zumba most days instead of walking because I want to get the weight off quickly. I've lost over 20 lbs in about 6 weeks by eating better and doing Zumba several days a week, and I don't even feel like I'm exercising because it is so much FUN!!!!
