    I've created a new entry in my database for Zumba. I wear a HRM, so I have a close guess on the calories burned.

    I added my own and have a heart rate monitor so I know my calorie burn... but you can use high impact aerobics. That is pretty close as far as the calorie estimation.

    I don't have a HRM so I log it as dancing, aerobic modern or twist. it's not perfect, but pretty close I think.

    Before I got my HRM I logged it under Low impact aerobics on a day a moved slower and High Impact aerobics on a day I worked it!
