Hi all i want to add exercise for zumba which is on the wii but cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone know how many calories an hour this burns off or if anyone knows how to enter this on my exercise log it would be of help.
Thank you

    If I were you I would class it as dancing, when I go to zumba/salsa fitness classes thats what I do. I'm looking into buying this for the wii though, maybe next pay day! Hope this helps.

    I usually use calisthetics.. i think.. or calistentics.. for my wii exercises, since i do wii fit very often. Wii fit tells me how many calories i've burned, though, but i think if you pick calistetics moderate/heavy you got a good estimate for zumba.

    I was able to find this on a website:

    Calories
    Zumba workouts can vary in intensity, and calorie burn depends on an individual's weight, fitness level and muscle composition. During an hour long session you can burn anywhere from 500 to 800 calories. On average, a 150-lb. person can expect to burn 536 calories during an hour of Zumba.

    Hi Karamac

    I have been using the wii fit (advanced or high intensity) and just logging my minutes but would love to know whether that is accurate or not!

    You should buy yourself a good heart rate monitor to find out how many calories you burn from it. I do Zumba wii and I burn about 900/45 min but that's me...it's likely different for you and everyone else.

    How many Calories does Wii Zumba Burn?

    Wii Zumba Fitness burns roughly 200-250 calories in 30 minutes. That’s 400-500 calories burned playing the wii dance game in an hour. That’s roughly 25% higher than most people burn spending an hour on an elliptical machine!
