I usually do the zumba workouts, but the calories it says i have lost seem so wrong. Even when i get a better score and more stars, it says I burned less calories then the other person that scored even lower then me!
How accurate is that???

    I have the Zumba game for the Wii. For me the calories it gives you at the end is much higher than the calorie given to me by my HRM. I simply go with my HRM for this one. I feel it is more accurate.

    Because somehow I do really good on a song, but the calories just seem too low!

    I think the only way you're really going to know how many calories you've burned is to get a heart rate monitor.

    You will get different calorie burn than someone beside you, even if you're walking at the same incline, same speed etc because of the difference in your personal height / weight in comparison. Applies to zumba and other workouts, the fitter you are the less you will be burning in the ame time vs me at 300 + lbs if we were doing the same pace.

    I knew I would need one...... But does that tell you like how many calories you burn? I always wanted to get one!

    Yea I know that is true, but you would think that when you do something in a very fast speed, you lose more calories, especially when it comes to Zumba!

    There are different HR monitors.some give the calorie count and some don't.Obviously the ones that do are a little more pricey.amazon.com has a good selection.I was going to wait and let that be one of my rewards but my calories burned seemed off for my weight.I was right,they were.I have really enjoyed having it.
