Hello everybody and happy Sunday! I absolutely LOVE hulahooping, and although it's not equivalent to a six mile run I can manage a pretty small hula hoop for a solid hour or longer and it's a good way to get in excercise while watching tv or something! The thing is, I set my activity level to sedentary so I don't have to feel pressured to work out every day but I can log the excercise that I specifically know I'm doing each day, and I know hulahooping burns calories, but it's not a choice for excercise!:( does anyone log hulahooping under something they know is equivalent or does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated!

    i looked it up since i am thinking about starting, hulahoop and pilates are almost identical in calorie burn, so just log it under pilates. good luck:wink:

    just looked up on net how many calories used with hulahoop and noticed it was the same as my pilates for same time. i read a long time ago that using a hulahoop was considered one of the best excercises for the waist. i am glad you reminded me of it.
