    Google how much you burn with Zumba. Custom add it to your own MFP that way it will be in the list of your account each time you need to add it and it's exactly how much you burn for your weight and your height.

    There have been a ton of people asking for Zumba to be added. In the meantime, I would recommend adding it as your own exercise. That's what I have done, and I know many others have as well; especially if you're wearing an HRM.

    get a HRM and log it for yourself, it's really the only way you're going to get an accurate calorie count. i burned 720 in one class and 900 in another. most of the exercises on here are an average and it really depends on you, how much you get your heart pumping. it's a great investment if you are serious about weightloss. i got mine for about $40 at walmart. good luck ;)

    the one i got is just a basic 5-function one. it has the watch, stopwatch, HRM, and some other stuff i don't use, lol. if you actually go to the store they are right there with all the fitness stuff.

    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!

    I'm going to my first Zumba class tonight and I was wondering the same (how to log your exercise) so THANK YOU for posting this! :) When my daughter gets up from her nap I may be making a trip to WalMart to get a HRM..
