    There's a site that can help you figure it out.... It's based on weight. I'd guess about a hundred calories... but Google "How Many Calories Burned" for sites to figure it out more accurately, depending on you age and weight, etc...

    I have been entering mine as "Dancing, aerobic, ballet or modern, twist". I do an hour class so I just enter the time - I don't wear a HRM either.

    Are you enjoying Zumba? I love it - the hour goes by so fast.

    I created a Zumba entry and did 450 calories per hour. When I got my HRM I found I was pretty accurate.

    I highly recommend a HRM with a chest strap if you can get one. I just did the 20+ min ( 3 min of cool down) of beginner Zumba on the Wii and I burned 373 cals, I just manually made a Zumba entry for it. Look forward to doing the Zumba Fitness Challenge with you, add me if you want. :smile:
