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!
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?

How? There is no option i can see anywhere to do that.
I've been logging it as dancing.0 -
I would say aerobic dancing if you can't do the HRM. You're breathing and dancing...0

I found Zumba under the cardio exercise portion to log it. I love it!0

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.0

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.0 -
I Zumba! I log it as high impact aerobics.0

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.0

ZUMBA is amazingly fun! I am a Zumba addict!! A girl in my class wears a HRM and announces her calorie burn....she is a little bigger than me and averages around 800-1000 a class...I put it in as cardio Zumba 60min 400calories....
