Hi There, This may have already been posted but I couldn't find anything - I tried to enter 'Zumba' into my exercise log and couldn't find it - is there no Zumba? Surely not.... Thanks

    You can create your own. I have just been to my first class. I feel like i will not be walking tomorrow.

    Anything aerobic can be used as a benchmark for creating your own zumba exercise entry - it will save to your list of most used exercises.

    Yeah, I have been on here for over a year and they still haven't added Zumba! :( To log it under exercise I choose aerobic dancing.

    I found after using my Polar HRM that each class burns different amount of calories for me. One instructor I use is more low impact and the other is higher impact. My advice for better accuracy--get a HRM!

    I too use aerobic dancing. Seems pretty close to my HRM.

    if you have a hrm you can just use the information you get from that about calories you burn while doing it and create your own exercise

    I disagree. I burn more in Zumba. Look online to figure out what YOU personally burn and log it as Zumba. It will save to your list for the future. Don't log it as modern dance either, that's not right.

    I couldn't find Zumba either. My instructor informed me that doing zumba can burn anywhere from 400 to 600 calories. So I created my own personal exercise and I figured I was safe assuming doing at least 45 mins of zumba burns at least 400 calories.
