Why can't I find Zumba on the exercise list.
Had to put in high impact aerobics, gutted it's only 24 cals burned. That can't be right for 50 mins.

    I wear a HRM and usually burn 750-850 calories in an hour. I do high impact Zumba and am literally dripping sweat in a puddle on the floor. Here's a calculator that hits pretty close to my HRM.

    I am new and I had to just post my Zumba calories also, I used the zumbacalories.com also and it seems pretty accurate, I take 2 classes a week one mid level impact and the other high.

    When I wear my hrm ( Polar ft7 w/chest strap) for 45 mins I usually burn about 450-550.

    Mine says I burned 502 this morning in a high level 50 minute class. Seriously in anaerobic zone, wring my clothes out, out of breath. And I am pretty fit. (stats-5'9", 48, 138 lbs.)

    hiya, I Zumba twice weekly, I asked my instrutor. She says you burn between 400 - 800 calories, obvioulsy dependant on your weight, height, and how much you 'give it' ... I put mysef down for 500 each session, I am happy with that. I try not to use my exercise to eat more, I like to burn more .. giving me weight loss.. :) xx

    Hi I zumba about 3 times a week. I wear a HRM and usually burn 600-675. I've never been below 600. I am definitely glad I bought a HRM Polar FT7, I use it all the time!

    Hi everyone! I do Zumba fitness 2 on my Wii, and it estimates that i burn between 460 and 500 per hour, which is fantastic. I do it about 5 days a week, since I can't make it to an actual class bc my schedule is so hectic.
