    If you can get a heart rate monitor that is the best way to log zumba workouts. I think you can get one for as as little as $30. I take Zumba classes 4-6 times a weeks and average about 450 calories per class. But because each class and instructor is different and my energy level varies I've burned as little as 350 up to 550. So definitely lots of variation. If you do get a HRM, just make sure it's one that comes with a chest strap since I think those are the most accurate.
