To anybody that does zumba, what do you log it as, because it's not in the database? I do the wii Zumba fitness game. And roughly how many calories an hour does zumba burn?

    Hi my boyfriend bought me zumba for the wii not too long ago. Ive only done it once but i logged it under dancing and did 45mins and burned 460cals. I wear a hrm so its pretty accurate

    I used to add it under 'slimnastics, jazzercise' as that seemed about right for calories burnt, now I have a HRM and my calories vary from 450 - 650 an hour - all depends on what songs the instructor does and how fast they are!

    I do a class twice a week and its really high intensity, so I log it under aerobics - high intensity. works out about 580 calories for an hour.

    You can also make your own Zumba if you have an HRM you can enter what it says its under exercise it says my exercises right under exercise at the top then create exercise put in what your HRM says or if you dont have an HRM you can check out zumbacalories.com at the bottom it has a calculator. I would say to use half of what the website says.
