So I have zumba and I have no idea how to know how many calories I've burned? Ive got it on kinect but it doesnt tell me how many calories i've burned and it doesnt have it listed in the excercise.

any help would be greatly appreciated :) thank you.

    I found this website in another thread on this forum. It has a calculator on it. It works great. Hope this helps you!

    I have a HRM and I burn approx 730-830 for 60 minutes.

    Before that I used to put it under 'aerobics' but MFP only told me I burnt 530 odd calories

    I have an MFP friend who started using a HRM during Zumba (she used Zumbacalories.com before) and there was a 300 calorie difference....she was burning 300 less calories than what zumbacalories said. I used to use it as well but, now I stick with what livestrong.com says which puts me at about 583 calories per hour, I weigh 169lbs. Better safe than sorry! :)

    Thank you,

    well I'd found that site but I hadn't put any of it in yet because I was thinking that it was very high, even on "low" setting and deducting 20 minutes off. I will try Livestrong.com :) Thank you!
