Does anyone know how to track zumba in the exercise log. I searched for it but no results were found!

    I put it in as high impact aerobics, it doesn't give you quite enough credit but it's the closest I've found

    Even better is to get a heart rate monitor and track it with that. I was reluctant at first, but I now use one of my three all the time!

    Hi. I don't know how accurate it is but here is a link I found to a zumba calculator tonight. You enter your weight; duration and intensity (low, mid or high). Note: I have been using the aerobic one myself.

    Do you have any advice on what brand would be a good investment, or do they all work the same? I have never used one before!

    The best thing is to get a HRM as Jennaissance said. It's hard for MFP to put in workouts because everyone puts in a different amount of effort. Someone just starting won't be able to put in as much as someone who has been doing it for several months.

    I've heard a lot of good things about Polar and Bodybugg.
