Ive been doing zumba for months now and I go for 1 hour and work really hard. I come out hot and sweaty for sure. I was logging 500 calories for it untill I got my HRM and yesterday it said 402 calories. That was a big dissapointment. So Im curious how many you burn using a hrm?

    53 to 59 minutes I have burned anywhere from 830 to 1030 according to my HRM... but I'm a big girl.

    Anywhere between 548 and 740 calories, depends on how hard I push and stuff.

    Does your HRM have the ability to track your weight and age etc? If yes is it set correctly?

    As you can see from the other responders, it really does matter if you're male or female and how much you need to lose. Another important factor is that not all Zumba instructors go at the same pace. I have taken a few different people's classes and have burned anywhere from 450 to 700 calories (and I have about 40 lbs to lose).
