I went to my first Zumba class tonight. It was so fun. I can't wait to go back on Wednesday. Can somebody please let me know how to track it? I tried to search Zumba but didn't see anything.

Dancing, aerobic, ballet or modern, twist is what I have been counting it as...but I don't know how accurate that is...0

Unless you have a HRM, there is no accurate way to figure up how many calories you burn. Everyone burns differently when Zumbaing. That's why MFP hasn't got it in their exercise list. I read online before that the average 145 person burns between 500 -1000 calories an hour. I weigh like 134, so when I added Zumba to my exercises, I just put that I burn like 400 calories an hour while doing it. I know that that isn't accurate but since I don't have a HRM, I figured it would be better for me to under guess than over guess. But, your best bet is to get a HRM. I plan on getting one soon myself.0

so I'm fairly out of shape. I'd like to try zumba...what are the chances I could keep up? I also have a hard time telling my left from my right. How fast is it and will I ever catch on?
I was thinking of a zumba DVD to try it out privately first.0 -

Love zumba!!! My sister & I go almost every week & have a blast. I have a HRM & burn anywhere from 400 to almost 700 calories in an hour. All depends on the instructor, songs & if I have to pee or not...hehe...harder to jump around when ya gotta go0
