    I wear a HRM so I added it manually. You can use other online calculators but depending on your weight & amount of effort your burn will vary. I burn anywhere from 410-535 calories per class. The low end is less intensity either due to a slower set of routines, or because I have to modify and slow down. I have a shin splint, so I can't always do the moves at full strength if that makes sense. :flowerforyou:

    I had to add it myself. You can add it under My Exercises. Once you add it then it stays for good.

    Just 'create your own exercise' and log your calories burned that way, according to your heart rate monitor, if you have one. If you don't, try to estimate using the calculator at zumbacalories.com. however, it tends to over estimate by about 25-30% on average.

    Do you mind if I ask how much you weigh? So I can compare this to me. I usually log it under "aerobics, general" and that tells me I burn about 650 per class. That seems high, and since I don't have a HRM (yet) I'm looking to compare with someone. I know there are a lot of variables but just curious! Thanks!
