Zumba is the most amazingly fun exercise for those who love to dance! I never feel like I'm working out, and I burn at least 800 calories in an hour! Why isn't Zumba listed on the exercise option??!! I highly recommend giving zumba a good run for your money!:happy:

    I did put it in the exercise module myself. It must not convert to other people's.

    I haven't met anyone yet who doesn't like it! :) My sister is a Zumba instructor, and it's the only exercise my other sister does! I would be doing it but none of the classes fit my schedule right now - we'll see for later though :)

    I LOVE Zumba! It's the exercise class that got me hooked on cardio and got me going to gym classes :) I use an HRM to track my calories and added it to my exercises. My first class was in 2008 and it's the only class I never miss!

    i added zumba to the exercise list. Maybe it only added to my personal list of exercises, though I thought it was added for everyone's benefit. Anyhow, I've been doing zumba about 3x a week since March 2010. It is so much fun, you will not believe an hour has gone by by the time you're done! And if you give it your all, you will have burned 600 calories easy and you will walk away soaked in sweat. If you haven't tried it, you should look online, most gyms offer it, or just google it and you'll find someone or somewhere who offers zumba classes near you. My heart has certainly benefitted from all the zumba cardio I give it 3x a week, but I can't say I've actually lost weight from it. But that's because I fell into a bad habit of overeating because I thought that I could get away with it w/all the zumba I was doing. Not the case! Watch what you eat as well!

    LOVE it! Doing it three times a week and wishing MFP knew how to count the calories for me.

    Me too! And It's so exciting to see so many Zumba lovers on here! Hurray! Also- if you are just beginning... they say it takes about 3 good classes to get the hang of the routines- so DON'T GIVE UP! You'll love it if you hang in there!! It does feel silly at first... trust me, I am not one to usually shake my booty- but I'm now Zumba-fied after going to classes for 7 months solid now. :)
