when i was going through to add my excercises i noticed that Zumba isn't added to the cardio portion, which made me wonder, does anyone here Zumba?

    Oh yea, tons of us do. The way it's logged varies (I use high impact aerobics) because you're right, there isn't a "Zumba" option.

    Oh yes! We are obsessed! I have a heart rate monitor so when I do my workout I log it as my own exercise (Titled "I ♥ Zumba") and then enter the calories burned from the HRM.) Its amazing!!! :o)

    I'm an instructor, and I log it under either general or high impact aerobics, according to how hard I"m pushing it :)

    I just added it myself and track it that way. Just click the "add exercise" link on your exercise tab. I love Zumba! I use a heart rate monitor and consistently burn 500is calories in 55 minutes.

    I just did my Zumba this morning...The 45 minute cardio party and then the 20 minute express, its awesome.

    Zumba isn't listed, you would have to use a HRM and log it for your own personal use. Or log as aerobics as others suggested, I was logging mine as dance, but think I will change it to aerobics as well.

    Goodluck

    I wondered why it wasn't listed too but i just went ahead and added it like many other folks. I'm glad i did because i use a heart monitor and found that i burned way more calories than what some of the other close options are.
    good luck
