Can someone tell me how many calories are burned in a 1 hour zumba class? I can't find it in the database...

Thanks! :smile:

    ive been wondering the exact same thing. i would use the aerobics or dancing option; however, i don't the calories are anywhere correct -- i think they are way under -- but that could be a good thing == burning more than you record:-) good luck

    It's not on mine either but I log between 700 and 750 and I usually do around an hour n quarter.
    I think that's too high really but go off what aerobics or dancing state maybe? Also depends how much you weigh/or heart rate I think
    Sorry I'm not much help really am I hahaa
    I love zumba

    It defiantly goes on your weight , heart rate etc - i'm alot heavier than you and i burn round 1070 cals a hour, I would recommend a HRM to get exact cals burnt , hope you get some answers xx
