in Fitness and Exercise
I just started Zumba dancing, my question is what do I log it in as when I log my exercise? I have logged it as general dance, but I'm not sure.

    If you are using a heart monitor, record that amount, otherwise I would suggest "Dancing, ballroom, fast" Its said that you can burn up to 900 calories an hour, I'm a Zumba Instructor and have never burned that much in a single one hour class.

    I just created my own exercise. I have an HMR and I usually burn about 600 calories and I'm moving! So that's crazy that some people say 900. Wow!

    Yeah, I wasn't expecting 900 calories lol But I do like doing it, because it doesn't feel like exercise. And I did it for about an hour and a half yesterday and I am definitely feeling it today!

    The most I've ever burned in Zumba using a HRM is 734 calories. And that was 79 min of Zumba. 900 calories is a bit of a stretch for an hour.
