Does anyone know how many calories roughly you burn in an hour of Zumba - not on the exercise guide so I thought to put it down as high impact aerobics but only comes up with about 44 calories and sure it is more than that...
Thanks, K

    LOVE zumba and I was sad to see that it was not in the excercise list so I add mine as dancing. It come up dancing, aerobics,ballet or modern twist. I figured it made the most sense being as zumba is a mix of dancing and aerobics..

    I've got Zumba 2 for my Wii, and it tells you how many calories you burn at the end of the workout... :smile:

    A Heart Rate monitor is great for seeing how many calories you burn. In one hour I have burned up to 800 calories. I was pushing myself a lot...but you can burn anywhere from 500-800 calories depending on intensity.

    Can only recommend a HRM (Polar brand is highly recommended) and it all depends on how much effort you put into it as well...

    Zumba Calories give quite an accurate estimate though.

    For really accurate calories though, I highly recommend a good HRM :smile:
