    When i first started i burned around 1000 cals the more i do it the less i burn. I'm down to around 750 now. My sister doing the same class burned about 350. It really does depend on the person. I think the entry for dance on here is quite close.

    If you can, get a heart rate monitor. If you can't, there's some websites where you put in your weight in and can find out how much you burned.
    High impact aerobics or dance is a great way to go as well.
    I LOVE Zumba! It's such a great workout :)
