Hi, I do both BodyPump and RPM or Spinning and burn between 350 - 400 in pump and always around 550 in RPM/Spinning I wear a Heart Rate Monitor and am 5'2" at 150lbs. :smile:

Hi Masongirl9, I searched for on google and only 2 testing centres came up in London..google search in the area you are and you may find one. I had mine done privately and cost around £200. Hope you find one it was well worth it for me! Candice

I am in complete agreement with you ...I just posted a long post just after you...we was obviously thinking the same thing at the same time!!! read my post...counting calories hasnt worked for me ...counting carbs instead, I am living proof counting calories has not worked and infact made me ill. I am carb counting now and…

Yep tried a few and have settled with the Polar F11 due to good instructions and easy to use...not too chunky either !!!

I have had toblerone and cookies tonight...so no words or wisdom from me!!! Just hope I come on soon!!!!

I was the same as you and did not trust the calories MFP said I was burning..as we are all different and work at different rates! So I did invest in a really good polar HRM I was lucky and just by accident found one on sale in a david lloyd sports centre as it is an 'older' model but does all I need and also transfers your…

Like the others have said 30 mins is better than nothing and you have some hardcore dvd's to get you working and making the most of the those 30mins...I would invest in a good hrm too so you know how many calories you are burning as it is easy not to push yourself so much at home than say in a class...at least if you see…

Just following up from my last post re calories burnt by doing Zumba classes since I have been using my HRM background on me I am 5.2, 144lb relatively fit dont smoke etc I go to bootcamp classes and train at least 3 days a week excluding zumba which is normally 2/3 times a week either a class or on Kinect ZUMBA Class - 1…

Yes on the sports game you can see other online players avatar on the boxing

I LOVE KINECT ZUMBA and wish more people had it so we can do an online class.....I burn loads of calories and alhough you cannot beat the real thing if you are looking for a workout indoors I would recommend if you like Zumba to start with! I prefer it over Dance Cenrtral any day!!

ahhh would have loved too but I am in the UK!!! anyone in UK have Zumba Kinect to go online and do a zumba class???

I just bought the polarF11 as it was in sale althoughits an older model it does everything i need and just uploaded my exercises to the polar website. It was really easy to set up and follow... I love it..i have had other 'cheap; ones in the past and have learnt not to spend cheaply on hrms. Good Luck !!

Hi there, Zumba doesnt feel like exercise just feels like a load of women going to a dance class and having fun..I stand at the back of the class to watch 60 women do zumba and its a great atmosphere, although if you are a beginner and the instructor is not on a stage I would stand nearer to the front as there are lots of…

I find kettlebells work for me, great core workout!

My fave is Zumba not only a good workout but great fun too, normally go to classes however as there hasnt been any over xmas I have the zumba on kinect and just burnt 143 cals in 20 mins including a cool down and I wasnt really going for it..difficult to move on the carpet!! Mixing this up with one of my workout dvd's or…

I love the just dance games both 1 and 2 its great with the kids and a good workout if you really make the effort.

Thanks all, that is a really big help, I will check the settings and wet the chest strap and see what happens from there...I have had problems using as it is not really isnt that straight forward and instructions are a bit naff, so was wondering if it was me or the HRM, sounds like it is me being daft! thanks for all your…
