in Fitness and Exercise
I bought Sweating to the Oldies (Yes Richard Simmons, I'm old and love it, LOL), anyway, how would I log this exercise? It's like Zumba but not as intense I would say. It is dancing and works head to toe and great cardio too. It is 60 minutes long. I'm not sure what it would be under or called.

    I would suggest Aerobics, low impact or Dancing, general.

    if you google "how many calories does zumba burn?" it will ask you your age, weight, sex. it will ask you how long the class is and if it's low, med, or high impact. once you type it in, it will tell you the caloric burn.

    you might want to google the same question but for your specific video, you might just find your answer there : )

    congrats and keep up the great work! :)

    How would you know your HRM was giving you an accurate calorie reading? What would you compare it against.

    I lost more weight the same week I sold my HRM and just decided to have fun instead of crunching numbers - never looked back.
