Anyone do zumba for exercise? Can you add it to your exercise diary....if so can you tell me how?

Anyone have any tips for how to do the best zumba?

I was bored so I thought I would ask, LOL:yawn:

    I love zumba! I go to a class once a week...I laugh the entire time. You can add in your own, after you search, there'll be a button you can click on to add your own. How to do the best zumba??? Not sure, just dance your *kitten* off :)

    I agree! Put everything you've got into it!! I love zumba!
    Some people put it in as dance...if you don't have an HRM to figure out the cal burn.
    I hope you try it and have FUN!

    I go to Zumba twice a week..and I guess to get the best Zumba lol is to not stop unless yes of course you really have to and if the instructor is kind of laid back then do the moves bigger..my Zumba instructor is sooo intense but I love it.

    I LOVE ZUMBA!!! Just go HAVE FUN!!!

    /don't know about logging it on here - I got the body bug so I do a hybrid program adding the actual calories it says I burned.

    I'm doing Zumba at home and also in a dance studio. I take my first class next week.

    I use my HRM to log the calories and I have added it to my exercise diary.

    I would think a dance or aerobic class int he exercise log could be used to log Zumba using the length of time you did it.

    Cheers,

    Just another note - I also just got a HRM so I know the amount of calories I've burned...so I use that in my log.

    When you search for any food OR exercise, if you can't find it, scroll to the bottom of that same screen and it will say "can't find....add it" and you can add it manually.
    It will then be saved so next time you go to log it you can go to "recently used" (blue tab at top of entry screen) and it should be there.

    I wear a HRM so I use that for my calorie burn w/ all my exercise, including Zumba.
    I am actually going to get Zumba instructor certified on Oct 9th so I have been going to as many live classes as I possibly can and I also have the dvd's to practice at home w/.

    There is no right or wrong way to Zumba. just move and have fun. That's what it is all about.
