As a group fitness instructor it absolutely killed me to wait 6 weeks to be cleared to work out again! Plus the 2 weeks before my daughter was born that I didn't teach because I was terrified of going into labor while teaching :) With that said, I began walking around 2 weeks. Then doing small things at home around 3 times…

Likely it's not listed because Zumba is very particular about the usage of their name being that its a registered trademark. I wear a heart rate monitor to class so I know that I burn typically between 700-800 calories when I teach classes. Under your exercises you can "Create New Exercise" and that will allow you to…

I would say go for it if it is something you are passionate about. I am a group fitness instructor and while I'm in shape, I have some extra weight still left to lose.

When I use a program such as MFP, I'm much more conscious of what I'm eating and…

I find Turkey Burgers to be pretty dry.

Like the PP mentioned I would suggest investing in a heart rate monitor to know exactly. Out of classes that I have attended, I have ranged anywhere from 600-1000. I am also an instructor and my classes typically are around 850 for me. I have had a Polar F7 HRM for about 4 years now and I have been super pleased with it.
