    I've completed Day 1, according to the Zumba calories burned calculator I've burned 452 calories, (on low). Love it!

    I completed Day 1 as well. I wasn't able to do Zumba Basics because of time constraints, but I have done it before, so I have most of the steps down. I did the 20 minute express workout today. I burned about 170 calories according the zumbacalories. Can't wait to do Zumba Basics tomorrow. Yay!

    I did the full hour of zumba basics this morning for the first time but I find the calories burnt to be rather high. I was out of breath during the step 3 parts of most moves but for quite a bit of it I wasn't working hard. I think I might log it as only 30minutes low intensity as I really don't want to go over my calorie goal.

    I am very sweaty though! And completely un-cordinated. I don't think I did a single step in time or accurately. The hour went fast though

    I agree that calories seems a lot, I wont be eating them though...

    I probably did go over yesterday but it was a friends birthday so I did expect it. People do claim to burn high amounts doing zumba so maybe it is correct. I don't have a HRM but maybe somebody who does could see what it compares to

    I did a 1/2 an hour of beginner following videos on youtube. Going to the zumba calculator, it says I burned 308 calories.

    Did another 1/2 hour tonight. Found a different video, was faster with new moves...not a good idea to do this in jeans, long sleeved t-shirt & knit pullover...gotta find a workout outfit!
