If you are on weight watchers and you want to know how many points you burn with zumba, here is a formula for high activity exercise that may help you calculate your zumba workout into ww points:
weight x minutes x .0008077
So if I weigh 160 and I do zumba for 1 hour,
it's 160 x 60 x .0008077 = 7.75 pts!
This formula applies to any high intensity workout.

Thank you so much for the formula! I go to zumba 3 times a week at my YMCA and could never figure out the points. I am a life time member and it is important to stay active to keep the weight off which has been 40lbs. gone since August '07. We have an instructor who lost 80lbs. on WW and I can't wait to share this information with her this week!

I do Zumba at the Y also and this formula is a great tool!
Wow, that seems a bit high. I use a heart rate monitor and weigh more than 160 #'s and only burn about 650 calories. That is having my heart rate in the high intensity range.
How did you come up with that formula?
That is Weight Watchers formula for high intensity workouts, whether it's running for an hour or doing a high intensity zumba workout.
650 calories is a lot! When you think about it, that is half of your daily calories on weight watchers!I think i need to start going to zumba classes!
thanks! I knew someone must know about zumba points!
Love going to Zumba now that I know how many points its even better than I thought! Thanks
