    Make sure you are looking under Cardio exercise, it came up for me. It will vary based on your weight, I weigh 178 and 60 minutes came up with 700 calories. Another case of MFP overestimating the amount of calories burned! :smile:

    I wear a heart rate monitor to Zumba and I am 44, 5'6" and 148 pounds. I work pretty hard (I do all of the higher intensity jumping and whatnot) and I usually burn 475 calories in a 60 minute class. HRMs are getting fairly inexpensive and they will give you a much better idea of your personal calorie burn. I don't wear mine to every single class, but it is good to check and see if my calorie burns are on track. Good luck!

    I am 242 pounds, 5'7 and I also wear a HRM. I dance pretty hard and don't slack off during class. I burn an average of 600 cals for 60 mins.

    It's there in the database... I use it all the time. And the amount of calories burned depends all on your stats. If you do use MFP database, just remember it's all an estimate. :flowerforyou:
