    I absolutely LOVE ZUMBA! :love: It is always so much fun and a wonderful full body workout! If you can dance, you can ZUMBA. And if you can't dance, ZUMBA will teach you to!

    If you haven't given this a try - do so!!! The best way to burn calories & have a great time. Have never walked out of a class without feeling wonderful. Definitely gives you an attitude change. I'm taking at least 4 classes a week and intend to take six starting in February!

    I just tried it for the first time last Sunday! I loved it. Once I got over feeling like a fool, I had so much fun.

    I didn't really feel like it was a high intensity workout though, and wasn't all that sweaty when done. I guess I need to pump it up a bit more next time!

    I love Zumba and go 4-5 times a week. My instructor used a HRM to report the calories she burns, it was 600 by the time class was over (she said she usually burns 200 more while her heart rate gets back to normal). Tonight I'm wearing my HRM for the first time to Zumba, I'll report back tomorrow what I burn, but I do turn up the heat and Zumba hard (dripping sweat by the end)! I'm so anxious to see!!

    I adore Zumba... my husband and I go two to three times a week.

    After buying a Polar HRM (I think it's the FT11), I have recorded 686, 658 and 696 as total calorie burn for 55-60 minutes. I think that's on the higher impact side of it, though, because I do all the arm movements and jumping about :) I typically record my exercise calories as about 100 less than what the HRM recorded.

    Ok, so I Zumba'd my heart out! The total class burn was 600, cooling down I burned an additional 100 making it 700! WOOOO HHHOOO!! I'm only counting 600 in my exercise journal. So super excited!!

    I've been putting in my aerobic calories as "dance, modern, aerobic." What about all of you? I do love Zumba. It's a blast and a workout!

    I love Zumba! I have been doing it for years. I found a zumba calculator online and used that and now I have it in my list of frequent exercises. It seems pretty accurate based on what people are reporting getting from their monitors. I just googled "calories burned doing Zumba."

    My home gym only offers 1 class I can make a week, but my membership lets me go to any gym in the franchise so I get a few more classes in each week. I'm aiming for 4 a week right now. It is my favorite way to get my cardio in!

    Hello,

    I am just joining myfitnesspal, but can truly say I have fallen in LOVE with Zumba. It is definitely my exercise of choice. I have a DVD (Exhilarate) that I do at home at least 3 times a week. We also have it at my church twice a week.
