    I love ZUMBA!!!

    I usually burn from 550 - 650 at zumba.

    It depends on Your heartrate. Also, I've read the more fit you are the less calories you burn.

    I'm 5'4 159 lbs.

    I had zumba last night but it was only 45 min. and I burned 430 calories. I had just purchased
    a heart monitor and it measures calories used. I am 5' 7" and weigh 145. All I could find on this site was for modern dance, ballroom, etc. and wasn't near the same amount of calories.
    zumba is wonderful !:glasses: :smile:

    Zumba---LOVE IT!! :love:

    I started at my girls dance studio in April. We do more dance moves from what the instructor says but it's an hour of dance, sweat and fun that I could have ever imagined.

    With my weight I could only do water aerobics. I did that twice a week and could see that my upper body was getting fit but nothing else.

    My first month working out in Zumba; I lost 1 pound and 5.25 inches. In my second month I lost 4 pounds and 11 inches and at my third month I lost an additional 10.75 inches and 8 pounds. That’s a total of 13 pounds and 27 inches in 3 months!! :bigsmile:

    None weight triumphs: Tightened my belt down 2 more holes, had to get my watch adjusted, clothes are loser, can’t wear my wedding ring, waist is down 2 inches and my bust 3 inches.

    This is w/in the past 3 months—I can’t believe it. I never thought I would be able to do any kind of land exercise and not be in pain, did I mention it yet that I love it!! :heart:
