    I couldn't find it, so I just chose dancing and did my best to reflect the workout.

    I believe you can enter zumba under the cardio and be able to enter in your minutes to get a calorie count.

    I entered it myself and use the following site to figure out the calories http://www.zumbacalories.com/

    I'd put it under dance and adjust the calories based on this site

    It might not be accurate but you can use it to create your own exercise :)

    There isn't one people usually manually put it in - you can use this site to help http://www.zumbacalories.com/

    I use an HRM and it is pretty accurate actually...maybe 95% of that cacl is the same as my polar HRM tells me I burn.

    I went to a separate website and searched for calories burned for Zumba and then entered it. My fitness pal should add it as a choice.

    I ended up going on the Zumba website and using their information to figure out the total callories used for the amount of time that I was doing zumba and entering it in the exercise tab here where you can enter your own amounts. I verified the calorie used with my instructor and she said it was pretty much spot on.
    Hope this helps.

    I created my own, comparing it to "Dancing, Ballroom, fast".
    There is also a Zumba Calorie Calculator on the following site, but not sure how accurate it is. It looks pretty close to me, considering how I feel after my 1 hour weekly Zumba class!

    I was looking for the same thing, but didn't find it.
    I did find this website: www.zumbacalories.com

    which calculates your calories burned for you, and then I entered that as my own personal exercise (you can create your own personal list of exercises, similar to the way you can create your own recipes).

    And yes, I know that other people will tell you/me to get a heart rate monitor, but in the interim, this was the best I could do.

    I went to my first class tonight and what a fantastic workout. Even with treadmill running, I havent sweated that much in a long time!
    Enjoy and good luck!
