How many calories does Zumba burn?

Calories burned during Zumba vary depending on the person's sex and weight as well as the length of the class and the class's intensity. If a person weighs more and increases intensity, more calories are burned because the participant must work harder to maneuver during the class.

According to Fitness Blender, "Women in an average weight range, say roughly 120-170 for estimation purposes, are going to burn between 350 and 650 calories in an hour of Zumba, if they go at full intensity through the entire class."
