How to add...

Can someone tell me how to add calories burned hula hooping? I checked on a fitness calculator and by my weight I burn 70 calories every 10 minutes. I hoop about 30 min daily. Thanks!

If you can't find it in the database just add it yourself. If you already know how many calories you burn then it should be simple. That's what I did with my work out I do.

I suggest using a HRM for that. Then you will get a better reading, rather than relying on people here.

In the mean time:

Use this.

Very few HRMs are accurate when your heart rate is below 50% of max. Just a warning. Good for trending though, just wouldn't count on eating back all those calories or the 'you will weigh XXX in 5 weeks'. Don't know how vigorous a workout hula hooping is.

Thanks! Maybe I will just add half of what I think until I can get accurate answer. I go at a moderate pace, so I think that may work.
