    I log it as Slimnastics, jazzercise and it calculates it for me. It depends on your weight.

    I just got back from Zumba, great workout.

    The web page for zumba says anywhere between 500-1000 calories

    yeah the www.zumbacalories is a fairly decent estimate, depends on how much you get into it, though. I usually burn from 600-800 per class, I've burned more and I've burned less. I like to use my HRM to get a better idea of what I am really burning.

    I burn anywhere from 450-600 calories for an hour Zumba class (according to my HRM).

    This website hightly over estimated my calorie burn. While it thought I was burning upwards of 700 calories an hour, my HRM tells me I only burn around 420. Just something to be aware of.

    Nothing like a HRM to give you the answer to your question based on "YOU". I'm not overweight and I burn 450-700. On the lower end if I'm taking, and on the high end if I am teaching. I wear a HRM all the time and my calorie count is never exatly the same. This is just an idea, I weigh 140lbs and am 5'4.5". Size also determines how much you burn!

    I have Polar FT4 and paid about $90 for it (w/ insurance) but I think you can get cheaper on Amazon. It's easy to use and I love it!
