    I log my Zumba as general aerobics but some say to use intense. Guess it depends on how hard you work:)

    I did zumba last night for the first time, I looked on here and found 500-900 for it I log mine as 500 cause I am not doing at full extreme yet. so 500 for 60 minutes of it. I hope it helps a little

    Good question.......I'll need the answer to that too. I just bought the Zumba Fitness, haven't done it yet. This is the first day I've logged on to this site and am hoping it will keep me focused and on track... Linda

    i logged mine as high impact aerobics until i got my hrm. using high impact aerobics vs the hrm was within 20 calories of eachother.

    it all depends on your level of exertion. The more you exert, the more you burn. You can actually burn up to 900 calories doing 1 hour of high intensity Zumba.

    I need that answer too! I will start my Zumba class in a couple of weeks. It's a new form of exercise for me. I can't wait!

    I did 35 minutes of Zumba yesterday and burned 324 calories, if that helps.
