Wouldn't you just track it as aerobics? I'm bad about tracking my activity points because I never use them anyway. I barely use my weekly points!
I guess aerobics would work! I don't use my activity points either, I only log it in because it makes me feel better about the fact that I'm losing weight INCREDIBLY slowly, because I can just keep telling myself I'm gaining muscle and losing fat. I've been doing WW since February, but I had a de-railment for a few weeks when FI was in the hospital/recovering, and have been back to doing it hardcore for about six weeks and have only lost 5 pounds. :-(
@MissMedic: How much weight do you have to lose? If you are close to your healthy weight, then it's harder to lose weight.
I read somewhere that the muscle weighs more than fat thing is a myth and that muscle doesn't build fast enough to make a difference on the scale. You could be losing inches. I found that measuring myself makes me feel better than the scale sometimes.
I wish it was only a little weight! I really need to lose at least 50 pounds....losing 50 would put me at the very upper edge of "healthy weight range," where as losing 60 would put me closer to a number I feel comfortable with.
@MissMedic: 5lbs in 6 weeks is really good. They say .5-2lbs per week is average so you are right on schedule!

I'd count one 30 Day Shred session as 15 minutes of high intensity, since I don't think I'm at high intensity for the entire 20 minutes but overall it is more than just medium intensity.
I'm going to start the 30 day shred next week. You know last week I said the same thing. ;) But I REALLY plan on it next week, but I've had a difficult time finding it. Anyway, I've done weight watchers for a while now and while now I'm not being to good with it, I'm getting back on track. I never used my weekly extras points... ever. That was just me though. I would use my alloted activity sometimes, but only if I had to unexpectedly or lost willpower at a party or something. I felt like if I had worked for them, then I earned them and it kind of cancelled each other out. The key is to journal, but I'm sure you know that. BTW, I realize I just ventured far off the original topic. For Zumba, I would characterize that as jazzercise or hip hop dancing depending on the routines we did that night. I guess just scroll through and see what matches best.
@MissMedic: Here's some counterintutive advice...if you're eating all of your DP (and tracking it honestly!) and working out...EAT your AP! Seriously! When you work out you're expending energy and your body is going to need you to replenish some of that. One DP is about 40 calories consumed....but one AP is about 80 calories burned...so even if you eat all of your AP, you're still only eating about half of what you've worked off through exercise.

Do any of the WW Bees do 30 Day Shred as well? How do you track it as far as "activity points"? What about Zumba? I have no idea how to track activity such as a workout DVD or a class at the gym because it's not in the database and I'm incredibly OCD about having everything exactly correct.....
Any help would be appreciated!
