    In the exercise potion of your diary under cardiovascular zumba is an option and if you put the time in it will give you an approximation of calories burned!

    Zumba is my favorite workout!! So much fun, and it torches calories. Especially if you dance with high intensity :smiley:

    I use it as my cardio on my one active rest day. It's fun, I look ridiculous, but I still love it.

    I love Zumba too and we have a class called Konga too run by the same instructor which is similar but has added combat moves. The calorie allowance on the database here can be a bit on the generous side though (especially when you're still learning the moves) when compared to polar heart rate measurements but its still a good burner.

    Love it! I miss it as I'm still on the mend from a break, and haven't done it since before Thanksgiving. Can't wait to get back at it. :)

    I love Zumba! going on 3+ yrs... I usually burn 650 for 60 minutes. Our gym also offers Hip Hop Cardio which is similar to Zumba but not latin music. That's also alot of fun.

    I LOVE Zumba. It's definitely my favorite workout and I try to go as often as possible. I love finding routines on YouTube too for when I can't make it to a class.
