    I use "BALLROOM DANCING FAST" and get about what those who use heart rate monitors use.

    I just use a HRM. But I find ballroom dancing, aerobics and other dance really underestimate the calories on here. There are different Zumba calculators available online, and it is probably better to use these (you can select how hard you worked, and it accounts for your weight etc.) and create your own 'Zumba' exercise!

    I find the dancing ones on here estimate 368 calories. I use my HRM and calculators if I don't have it, and it ranges from between 550-800 calories an hour, depending on how hard I work or if I haven't done it for a week!
