    Hi... I went to www.zumbacalories.com there is a zumba burned calories calculator where you put in your weight and work out minutes and it works out for you how many calories you have burned. Hope this helps :)

    There are a lot of online calculators (including on here on MFP) but the only way to get a completely accurate number for your calorie burn is to wear a heart rate monitor (HRM) during exercise. You can find them on Amazon or at most chain retail super stores (Target, WalMart, etc). I recommend a Polar brand HRM.

    My fitbit doesn't agree with www.zumbacalories.com. I'll keep going by my fitbit, and anything else is a bonus!
