I have a heart rate monitor that I use regularly. I found that the calories burned on this site for exercise classes are higher than what I actually burn according to my watch. I have a sportline that I got at Wal-mart. It is not very user friendly and has a lot of info on it. I haven't figured it out yet so I just use it…

You can add Zumba yourself under exercises. Go to exercises at the top, then my exercises, then add exercise. :

I have a heart rate monitor. I'm really starting to use it more. One class I burned 405 calories and another 355. I'm trying to get a good estimate of the calories I burn. They were two different clsasses with totally different styles but both were great!

I don't count those calories because I don't reach my target heart rate and those calories aren;t burning fat or sugar. I only count calories in arobic exercises that I reach my target heart rate. I use the strength exercises for toning only.

I love Zumba! I went this morning and burned 405 clories in an hour! It is a great workout and lots of fun. The instructors are all diffenrent and the music they use is different. I prefer the current pop hits rather than the latino. A lot depends on how hard you work in the class. The best dances keep your heart rate at…

I log it in under swimming, treading water, moderate effort. I don't actually swim but I tread water ,jump around & just keep my arms and legs moving.
