The following appeared in a sports medicine article: There are many variables taken into account when calculating calories! - based on a weight of 130lbs, the following exercises 1 hr. duration (with an accuracy of 87%) burn an average of 900 calories: Bicycling, >20mph, racing non-stop; Rope jumping, fast for an hour non stop; Running,10 mph(6 min mile) etc. As you see it takes very vigorous and continued sustained movement in order to burn that amount of calories! Hope this was helpful
It really doesnt matter what that article says because everyone is different and cant be spoken for. I have had a couple of students in my class to reach the 1000 calorie burning point not just once but a few times. Depending on the person it is possible. My class takes Zumba to a whole nother level. Maybe you would see these types of results if you were a little more intense in ur class instead of teaching Gold. Congrad's Becca! ! !
I stand by my comments and information! I was not criticizing Becca's abilities as an instructor (would never dare to that sort of put down - by the way those who teach Gold could take your comments as a put down! we are a Zumba family! - I was merely commenting on one piece of information! Lighten up Lil!
But....where is this information of burning 500 to 900 calories coming from? We have to be very careful with the accuracy of the information given out - I have never heard of such claims, (900?) We must keep the integrity of Zumba by being accurate!
Prior to my newspaper and television interviews, I read many of the articles posted on the zumba website. The calorie range I gave is cited in MANY of those publications. I would recommend reading them before suggesting I am jeopardizing the integrity of zumba or making in inaccurate claim. Further, my class is very intense cardio, and my students' heart rate monitors support this statement.
