I would have thought 50 minutes of Zumba would have burned more than 449 calories. Bummed! :frown: I burn more with my 4 mile walking video. Thoughts anyone?

    Where did you get that number? That's too low.

    Did you use a heart rate monitor? Because, if not, you could have burned anywhere from 300 to 900 calories. It all depends on how much effort you put in to it. I see some people in my zumba class that barely do anything. Me and a couple of other girls hustle our butts, jumping up and down, getting low in to squats, really contracting our abs, etc. We work up a major sweat!

    I was just basing on what I put into MFP. There was no Zumba selection so I picked dancing...aerobic etc. I will use my HRM next time. I have a Bodybugg but the subscription expired. :(
