How many calories do you think are burned (roughly) from doing 30 minutes of the Zumba Cardio video? I tend to sweat pretty heavily when I do it, more so than when I just run on the treadmill.

age
height
level of activity (how intense you do it)0 -
My instructor says upto 800 calories an hour, depending on how much you put into it!!! Xx0

In my Zumba Class I burn anywhere from 800-1000 cals in an hour (that's with and HRM) I have never tried the videos, so I don't know how intense they are.0

i actually found out this morning from a guy on here that you can go to http://www.zumbacalories.com/ and find out how many calories you have burnt... hope this is of some help0

It depends on a lot of factors. Before I bought a HRM, I was going off of what ZumbaCalories.com was telling me. Turns out that was about 200 calories more than I was actually burning! Currently, I'm burning anywhere from 500-600 a class. I should be burning more, but our class has filled to the brim with the New Year's "Resolutionaries" and there are too many people in the room...resulting in a slick floor from all the body heat anywhere from 30-45 minutes into the class. So a lot of times, I'm not putting forth 100% the last 20-30 minutes of class because I'm scared to death of falling.0

If you set up an account with Sparkpeople.com, they can give you that information with their exercise tracker. They have Zumba logged in as an exercise. I keep that account open so I can compare and log in information I can't get here. Good luck! I love that Zumba!0

I wore my hrm to the last two classes I went to and in the hour I only burned roughly 350cals.... very disappointing for me!0

I just read an article that said the average 150 lb. person burns 536 per hour of Zumba - Hope this helps0

Thanks a ton guys! I'm thinking of buying a HRM but they are so expensive.0

Use a watch and chest heart rate monitor. That way you know! You cannot really measure it without one, because you might be working harder or not than everyone else.0

Do you burn more or less if you are bigger?0 -
Typically yes. But still, the only real measurement is a good HRM. How else can you know how hard you are going? I recommend a Polar. I use one for P90x and Insanity.0

I used to put it in as aerobics high impact. I usually burn 8-10 calories per minute and I weigh 1550

yes it varies
me for an example
weight: 317
age: 31
height: 6'3
level of activity: does "suck at it really badly" count as a level?:embarassed:
anyways my Polar HRM averages 700-1000 an hour for Zumba.0 -
