Quick!! Going To Zumba Class...

I walk to my Zumba class. I was wondering if I should turn my heart rate monitor on before my walk to the class, even though I'm sure I don't even get into my "zone" before I get there... Same question about the walk back.

    I would count it. Even if you aren't getting your heart rate up real high you are probably at least in the fast burning zone. That is exercise.

    - Yes...count it! Why would you not count it. The only reason I would not count it unless it is only a few steps away.

    Yes count it! Or log them separately in MFP. Bring a sticky or something to separate the walking from the Zumba or store it on a Notepad application in your smartphone.

    To be honest it is personal preference. I prefer to not count my walk to the gym.
