How many calories do you think would be burned doing 40 minutes of mid-intensity Zumba?

    If you don't have a HRM, you can use this site to get a decent estimate - http://caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned/

    I use to add it as dance or arobics in the exercise menu. I have a fitbit so now I let it decide. It is a bit harder on me but then it makes me work harder.

    I usually burn between 500 and 700 calories in a 60 minute Zumba class (that includes about 15 minutes of warm up and cool down, so a good 45 minutes of zumba altogether). I'm not sure how long you've been doing Zumba so I don't want to assume anything, but I'll tell you that when I start burning the most calories is when I just really let go and shake it. :) I <3 Zumba!
