    For how long? I might just count it as "aerobics general".

    You'd probably be more accurate to log it under dancing, can't give you a average burn because there are to many variables.

    Unless you did it for at least a half hour straight don't even count it as exercise.

    light, general aerobics, even tho your muscles may get tired, it still would be light, because your only using core muscles in a limited range of motion.

    Rita,

    Once you log it under a certain exercise category, the system will generate a calorie burn. Your pals listed suggestive categories.

    I have a Wii Fit Plus, and burn approximately 10 -20 calories for five minutes of hula hooping. There are several factors that are included in your calorie output: resting heart rate, weight, height, age....

    May I suggest investing in a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) with a Strap for accuracy output.
