Does anyone know how much calories you can burn from playing the Zumba wii game?

    Here is something terrible unscientific (maybe even borders on broscience) but, if your
    A. heart rate elevates and you
    B. work up a sweat and you
    C. can still comfortably talk

    you may be in the 7-9 minute calorie burn per minute zone. Call it 8 calories burned per minute to be conservative.

    With my HRM, I burn about 460 calories doing a medium intensity medium length Wii Zumba 2 class.

    Oh there is a website that figures out calories burned doing zumba. I don't know what it is offhand but you can easily google it.

    Mine tells me how many calories I've burned, but I think it's a very generous estimate. Yesterday, for instance, it told me I burned over 500 calories in a 47-minute "class." That seems high to me. I would say more like 300-400.

    Lol Zumba for wii is so much fun. I am so un-co I mess up the steps at least 80% of the time; but it doesn't matter! I'm jumping around like and idiot and still burning heaps of calories, all I have to do is make sure the blinds are closed :embarassed: and cover the fishtank. (seriously; I have a fish who gets riled up and goes mental if I make too many fast movements around him. If anyone's going to have a heart attack during my Zumba workout it should be me!)
