Zumba Lovers

I love Zumba. I did not think I would ever like a classroom setting for exercising. But with Zumba I do. Did it last spring with a group of girls and had a blast. I could not make it over the summer and the group no longer meets. I bought the tapes and they are just not as much fun a the classroom setting. I would love to go to another one but there is not one close by at this time that I can make it to. Good luck with your Zumba!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey!! i've just started doing the zumba on the wii at home and love it! not braved a class yet!! bon xx

Oh I LOVE zumba!!!



re adding it to the tracker, I call it aerobics.

im going to wear my heart rate monitor Monday to see how many calories I burn off
I cant wait

feel free to add me too peeps, Im still newish here TY x

i googled this and found a website that tells you how much you burn - unfortunately this is on my pc at work, so can look on Monday and advise if you don't find anything

There is a calculator you can google and it let you selects the intensity of the workout too. I feel like it estimates high though.

I Love zumba! been doing it on the ps3 for a few weeks but have been to classes and this past week i even did it by watching youtube!

i love zumba, have been doing it for over a year when I join rosemary conley diet & fitness class. Also have it on the wii and bought the dvd's recently. I now zumba exercise at home 2/3 times a week and get together with a couple of my sisters for wii exercise twice weekly, sometimes we do the dvd

Does anyone know how many calories are burned after an hour of Zumba? Trying to add this to my food diary and it won't give me a number.
Thanks!:happy:

You can go to zumbacalories.com & it will give you a guesstimate of how much you burn & at what intensity.

I love zumba --- I joined LifeTime Fitness JUST for zumba so I can go to all the different locations. I got 4-6 times a week and love it. I have the DVD's too -- but they are boring as heck and the being in a dark room with 50 other people screaming and the music blaring is MUCH more fun. PLUS - you meet lots of people who keep you accountable. If I miss a few days, I get texts asking me where I am.

Also, get a HRM with a chest strap -- the online calculators are way off (usually WAY too high) --- and don't be disappointed if you dont burn 1000 cals an hours, I've been doing it over a year and my typical hour is 350-500 and I work my butt off. The online sites all over estimate . It's important to be accurate because you should be eating your cals back so you want it to be correct.

i use a HRM when i do Zumba, and its different each time, depending on how much effort i put into it.... i average around 622 calories.... i am 5 4 and am 155 pounds, and its when i am into it and jumping prettygood, i would guess i am about mid way with energy, meaning there are some that jump more and some that do less. I dont know if you can go by someone elses information... but would make a good guess.

I am the same height and weight and burn on average about 200 calories LESS than you an hour.
I have been doing it a very long time ---- so that might have something to do with it --- it could also be age, but this tells you that you sure can't go by a site that just asks for your height and weight and "guess" on intensity. I love jumping and I walk out of there sweating like a fiend. I would say that I am on the high end.

I've just recently starting Zumba - but I really enjoy it!

When I've gone I burn about 600-650 cal an hour according to my HRM.

LOVE ME SOME ZUMBA!!!

If you google 'how many calories are burned doing one hour zumba' it will ask you your weight & age and give you an answer. I am fifty-eight &, for my weight, I burn 657 calories an hour doing zumba.
