my advice is to get a heart rate monitor watch. i track it for the entire hour and average a burn of 1000 calories...sometimes up to 1200. make sure the settings on it are correct for your height, weight age and resting heart rate0 -
There is a calculator for calories burned doing Zumba

I love zumba! I am a teacher and a girl at my school is an instructor and teaches 2 classes a week when school is in session. I recorded her and do that in my living room since school is out. She does a lot more current music and reggae-ton (or however that's spelled) than the typical latin music. I absolutely love it and sweat so much from it!0

Zumba intimidates me lol I see the other ladies doing it and I just think I'm not coordinated enough and I'll look like a fool. I did tell myself it's my next benchmark reward though.0

Jealous! The first class I went to had a sub teaching and it was all hip hop / reggaeton - LOVED it! The other two I've been two are much more Latin and I kind of suck at taking those itty bittty samba (or whatever) steps lol!0 -
I do Zumba 3 times a week! I was nervous to try it at first, but am so glad that I did, I'm hooked! To those nervous about trying it, don't be. You will catch on! Nobody is watching you anyway, they are all busy watching the instructor. Just keep moving and have fun!
I wear my HRM during Zumba, and most classes I burn between 450-550 calories.0 -

You should give it a try! One good thing to know is that everyone is so busy watching the teacher that they'll never bother watching you make a mistake!0 -
I've been doing Zumba for over 2 years and still love it just as much. I wear a HRM and I burn anywhere between 700-1000 calories in my hour long class. I would suggest a HRM as being the best way to see how many cals YOU burn doing YOUR Zumba class - everyone and every class is different. Please add me if you like and anyone else who loves, loves, loves their Zumba 0

See if you can find a Zumba Gold class, it's a bit slower and less intense. You could start with that and see if you like it. The one I'm in is still a lot for me but not nearly so intense as the regular one I went to at a local gym taught by this extremely fit woman. If you google zumba you will find the official site with classes listed all over the place.0 -
i go to zumba on tuesday nights thursday nights and saturday morning every week.0

I love the Zumba background on some of y'all tracker!!!!!!!!
For those asking about calories burned, I have a bodymedia monitor and for an hour of Zumba, I usually burn 450 - 650 calories. When we do the 90 minute class, I burn about 850 calories.0 -
Thanks! I'll check that out for sure.0

I tried Zumba for the 1st time last week.. it was my 1st exercise class ever and I was so uncoordinated..but after the first couple songs I was getting better and honestly no one cared--everyone was laughing and moving and no one was perfect--except the instructor--we all just tried to follow her-- it was fun!
I bought a Polar 4 HRM yesterday so when I go to my next Zumba class this week I can track the calories burned

I LOVE ZUMBA. I AM THERE EVERY TUESDAY, THURSDAY AND SAT AM....0

Hi. I love zumba. I have been doing this for months and I am exercising but I don't feel like it. The instructors make it fun and no one cares what you look like ot what you are doing as long as you are trying. Keeip it up.0

Zumba is so fun! I love it 0

LOVE ZUMBA! As far as finding a website to track calories burned, I recommend getting a heart rate monitor with chest strap. I used Zumba calories. com website before I had an HRM and it said I was burning upwards of 900 cals. When in reality I burn about 640 in 60 minutes0
