Zumba

i was looking for the same info .

It will vary depending on everyone you wont know your exact amount without a heart rate monitor - but try this calculator,its pretty accurate based on my workouts. You will have to add it in your database, it isn't a part of MFP's.

The average person burns around 500-800 calories in an hour of Zumba. My instructor uses a body bug and she burns around 900 calories per class ( her classes are pretty high-intensity)
I'm put in that I burn around 500 calories per hour. I'd rather under estimate than over you know? But I actively compete with my instructor, and I almost never eat back more than half my exercise calories.
So, I think you should put in a number around 400-500 that you feel comfortable with and recognize that you may be over/under estimating. Just be mindful when eating back your calories.
If it really bothers you, get a body bug.

Is zumba basically dancing madly to music? As we have a local dance fitness programme called Moky and it's amazing fun, constantly sweating throughout! lol But I was wondering what to log that as. I've been putting it in as 'Dancing, general', guess I've been under calculating it if it could count as aerobics.

If you go to youtube and search ' moky fit' you'll see example videos, to see if it compares and if I'm okay listing it as aerobics. I have to admit not really knowing what aerobics means.
