I noticed when I was searching the app for 'Zumba' to add to my exercise for the day it was non-existent! Is there an easy way to track my calories burned during a Zumba session? Please help, I'm totally new to this site!

    You can go to http://www.zumbacalories.com/. Then I just created my own Exercise name zumba which I use.

    I had the same problem. But I searched the internet looking for a generic number and I found one! What I read was if you are of average build, and really put your all into the workout, then you will generally burn anywhere between 400-600 calories. I was putting down about 536 for an intense session of Zumba and a little over 400 for a not so intense workout. I did that a couple times and then I decided to go buy a heart rate monitor that counts my calories for me. It makes things so much easier. Now I just enter the number on my HRM and I'm good to go!

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you all so much, this definitely helps. Perhaps I should purchase a heart monitor. Are they inexpensive?
