I have the whole DVD set of zumba. I was wondering if anyone knows exactly how many calories the zumba cardio party burns.

    I actually submitted a question on the Zumba website to find out how much my xbox one burns and they just gave me a BS answer of "it varies" without giving me any sort of range. I've heard of people buying heart rate monitors that calculate it for you so I might do that.

    I log it under aerobic dance. Without a HRM, there's really no way to tell.

    well, it's not a BS answer. It depends on a lot of different things. When I started doing the Zumba workouts (I was 220 lbs, 5'8''), I burned 1200 cals an hour. Now (160 lbs), I burn hardly 600. It depends on age, weight, height, how much you go into it. You can only know exactly, if you use a HRM. Anything else is just assuming and guessing. Sorry.

    I wonder the same thing, since I have the same zumba workouts as well, only this time I've finally ordered a HRM of my very own. I can finally figure out how much I ACTUALLY burn according to my weight.

    It can be different for everyone because the # of cals you burn is based on your heart rate during your workout. Before I bought my hrm I used to log zumba under aerobics. I suggest you purchase a hrm because once I got mine I realized the mfp estimates were just that because they were off, but they are helpful if you dont have a monitor.
