Hi everyone - I'm new to MFP and just took my first Zumba class this morning. However, Zumba is not in the list of cardio options on my exercise log. How can I figure out the calorie burn, etc.? It was a 1-hour class. THANKS!!
:smile:

    what you need is a Heart Rate monitor with a chest strap to calculate more accurately

    Go to Zumbacalories.com and put in your weight and minutes and the intensity. So much easier. Kinda gives you a little over though. I use a HRM and it was overestimating by like 100 calories.

    Truth. I burn way more calories than the websites calculate.
