    I've used both Aerobics High Impact as well as Dancing Aerobics. :)

    I always put: Dancing, aerobic, ballet or modern, twist, then just modify the calories to what my hrm says. Per class you should be burning between 500-900 I think. Hope this helps :smile:

    If you google it, it says you burn around 500 calories doing an hour of Zumba, i had to manually add it to my exercising. I asked the same thing when i started doing it, and that's the advice i was given :) x

    heyyyy i love zumba! I usually substitute with high aerobics which comes out to be about the same. I always add 5-10 mins more so it can balance out. For an hour of zumba, it is about 500-1000 calories. :-)

    I zumba! Go to Zumbacalories.com. Then on MFP, create a new exercise and put in your time & calories. Best Wishes!

    a friend gave me the link to this website to use. You can calculate the # of calories burned and put them under My Exercises

    I'm Glad I found this post! I was wondering how to figure it in! I'm a Zumba instructor, so naturally I try to exert 10x the energy on my students, so the dance aerobics was definitely not cutting it. I wish they'd add Zumba to the list. With it being such a huge deal right now, I'm kinda surprised that it's not!
