These numbers are for an adult of about 70 kg. Weigh more and you burn more, weigh less and it's a bit less.
A 45 minute class is about 360 kcal and an hour is about 480. You don't need to get the steps right, you just need to keep moving.
It's basically a dance party at the leisure centre, which is why people keep going back. Nobody's watching your feet, promise.
Tips
- 1Stand near the back for the first few weeks so you can copy without stress.

- 3Put the music on at home on days you can't make the class.
