Zumba....Help!

I tried Zumba but could not keep up, I can see where it would burn many calories.

I use zumbacalories.com. People with a heart rate monitor say it is accurate. Then you can just go to my exercise and create you own exercise and label it zumba.

i do Zumba, too, and our instructor said you can burn anything between 500 and 800 calories in an hour. Since I sometimes stop in between to catch my breath (it's getting better!), I calculate around 650 calories/hr now. I logged it under aerobics first, and now I found something with dance (sorry, I can't recall what it says exactly). I think when you're starting you burn less, cause you have to figure out all the steps. Once you start becoming familiar with them, you definitely burn more. I walk out of class dripping wet, literally. It's a great feeling! Hope you enjoy it! I

best thing that i have found is just go to yahoo and type in calories burned from zumba or whatever you are doing, and usually within 1-3 sites, you can find one that does ____ lbs ____ time done and it comes up with exact calories for YOUR weight, not just a generic one.
