Hulahoop kcal burn

There's a group here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/2763-hooping

I've seen estimates for 10 calories per minute and 7 calories a minute. I'd start out at no more than 5, use that estimate for awhile, and see how weight loss actually progressed.

i put it at 7-8 calories per minute. depending on what i'm doing, if i'm mostly just keeping the hoop up and waist hooping i use the 7 cals, and i can do that continuously for a pretty long time, i use 7 also if i'm trying to learn a new trick as that usually means i'm dropping the hoop quite a bit. if i'm dancing or generally exerting more energy i use the 8 cals per minute.
