I simply type in "zumba" hoping for a ton of results, but nothing! Really?
How do I log this?

I just did 37 out of a 45 minute zumba video. It contained reggaeton, belly dancing, and salsa.

    I do "dancing, aerobic, modern, twist" option. I work at a gym that has Zumba classes daily and we have literature that says in a 1 hour Zumba class you can burn 700-900 calories.

    before I got my HRM I logged it as high impact aerobics.
    the burn was about the same for me when i went back and compared.

    Awesome, this works out. I'm just so surprised that it's not its own group. Huh, but thanks! :D

    Same here. I take Zumba once a week and I've been belly dancing for a couple of years. I'm curious to know how many calories those activities really burn for me. A heart rate monitor would probably be the best way to find out.

    I too do belly dancing and Zumba. I find for belly dancing I will burn around 350 -400 cals an hour and for Zumba I burn around 400 - 500 cals an hour depending on the class, the teacher, the type of dance we do.

    Really? 700-900 calories in an hour? Couldn't afford a class so I started doing the ones I saw on youtube. Did about an hour of zumba vids. I'm so proud of myself.
