You can find a local Zumba class either in a gym or a local hall by going to www.zumba.com and look under "Find a Class". Put in your city, state & zip and you will find classes within a 5 to 25 mile radius of your home or work. You do NOT have to go to a gym to find a Zumba class. If you can't get away for a full class,…

They are constantly doing research in their labs in Finland with cardiologists, athletes and scientists to improve their products. Many cardio machines are coded to specifically work with a Polar monitor due to agreements that Polar made…

Try to be patient with yourself Sue. I think the first week can be shock weight because your system didn't know what was coming. It catches on to what you're doing and tries to hold back the weight loss. You're cruising along just fine. I have been the same. Only small little ounces come off here or there after a few false…

450 - 700 calories per Zumba class - that is how many calories I have burned. It's a wide range but my classes start at 8pm and sometimes I eat dinner too late and I am working out while I'm still too full. Since the end of September I have lost an inch off my waist by doing Zumba 3 times per week. My instructor is…

Oh Molly means MFP calories, not HRM calories? Got it. If that's the case, then I'm totally lost. I have been working out with a Polar HRM since 1997 so if it tells me I burned calories I know it burned the calories because back then I was working for them as well. I got a new HRM this time last year and when I don't use…

NV - Put in the higher number and wait to stop the HRM until your heart has returned to your normal resting heart rate. This can be up to 30 mins after you've stopped the zumba class. There is definitely an afterburn effect from a cardio class like zumba. I burn anywhere from 630 calories during the class up to 750. I will…

I used to work for Polar HRMs in NY about 10 years ago. I can't answer your iPod question but I can tell you about the cardio machines. Polar made agreements with many cardio machine manufacturers years ago when they were the only HRMs in the world. A lot of companies keep the "Polar Coded" components in their machines…

Hi Trixie! I'm burning as many calories as possible up here in Sydney. Good luck on your fitness mission. I have found many Australian products listed in the Search feature for logging in food. There can be mispellings and sometimes you have to snoop around but you may be pleasantly surprised and find the foods you are…

I really like Crystal Light but lately I've been concentrating on getting 2 liters of water each day with lime juice or lemon juice because it's alkaline and very good for your liver. I've been training more this week so I've been trying to keep the lactic acid from backing up in my system/muscles. I'm a recovering sugar…
