    i used my HRM a few times to get an average and entered it myself as a cardio... i burn around 500 calories during a class...

    (funny - your starting & goal weights are the same as mine... meet ya there at the finish!! :o) )

    Yeah, I just started last week and just added it to 'my exercises' and put in about 500 calories since I'm new and am totally bad at it still. Going back tonight.....I can't wait to get my HRM to get an accurate reading!

    Oh, and feel free to join our Zumba thread. I think it's called Zumba 6/21 or Zumba class 6/21. :bigsmile:

    I entered it as a Cardio and I have a HRM so I just imput my calories. I run around 810 cal/hr! WAHOO! Just keep moving, even if you dont know what you are doing! The instructor said you should be burning at least 800/hr during the class :-)

    It should be in there but I use an HRM. It's really the only way to go... some classes I burn closer to 500 and others closer to 700!
