    I saw a post that said "Hula hooping is suppose to burn 80-100 calories for 10 minutes. I'm sure this will vary depending on someones weight. The heavier you are the more you'll burn. The best way to know is to get a heart rate monitor." I think it's a great workout for the abs!

    I log mine as belly dancing... Not really sure if that is correct but since they use the same muscle groups and have similar motions, I figured it was probably close enough.

    Hooping (not just waist) is an amazing workout. I just went to my first class yesterday and I was sweating bullets in the most fun way possible. If you get a heart rate monitor you would know for sure how many calories you burned. There IS a Hoopnotica log in for calories on MFP. They say it's almost 500 calories per hour. Try these links: hooping.org, hoopcity.ca and hoopnotica.com.
