in Fitness and Exercise
Last night was my first time doing Zumba Kix and it was amazing, I loved it. It was an hour class but it goes by so fast and its fun. It makes working out so much better, because you look forward to it, I am so ditching the treadmill for now!:heart:

PS for those of you that do Zumba how do you log it in the exercise log since Zumba is not an option, the closest I found was dance general?

    I've been logging it as dancing.

    I would say aerobic dancing if you can't do the HRM. You're breathing and dancing...

    Some people log it as dance others aerobic. It depends on the class, the individual doing the class, and the instructor. I log it as Zumba, but put averages from what is seen in aerobic. I do not have a HR monitor, but will be getting one soon to see. One of my friends on here purchased one and discovered she was estimating to low of a calorie burn. Another friend found out she was estimating to high.

    Search for Zumba. It comes up blank and at the bottom you can add a new entry. I added Zumba and then I enter in the calories I burn in that time frame per my HRM.

    I love Zumba!!! I wear a HRM to find my calories. I average 700 + for the hour in some classes. That's a huge motivation factor. It all depends on the zumba class as well. I take 3 classes a week. 2 at the gym and they are pretty high intense and will burn over 700 calories for that hour. Then I take Zumba at work and that class isn't as intense and I only burn about 500 colories during that hour.
