Hi everyone. Just wondering what the average calories burned during a zumba work out is? I tried finding it under exercise but it is not in there

Hey- I started doing Zumba this week and fell in love with it. When I googled the calories burned it stated for an average 150 pound woman you burn anywhere from 500-800 an hour. I must say I am impressed!! They say that you actually burn more than running for an hour. For tracking purposes I added it under exercise and just estimate 100 calories per ten minutes. When I am done I usually feel like I have ran my normal distance, and they say the average person burns 100 calories per mile, so I think it is a reasonable estimate. Hope this helps!!!0

At around 235 pounds, I burn between 700-800 calories in an hour, depending on how much I push myself - and I use a HRM, so that's a pretty accurate number.0

Best workout ever!! Did it last night for the first time and had to have burned at least 500 calories.

i love Zumba. Its the best workout Ive ever done. I enjoy it, don't think of it as exercise, so addicting. I thought the infomercial was making it out a little more than it is, but so far I think its dead on. I used to be a Tae-bo girl, but Zumba has won me over. Been doing it for almost 2 months and Ive lost 15 pounds so far.0
