I'm looking for something that will be less stress on my bad knee and I was just curious if anyone has used this as a Low Intensity Exercise. If so, do you know the calories burned in any given amount of time? Were the results good?

I know there is the Wii Hula Hoop program listed here, but other than that I was unable to locate anything else.

Thanks for your advice!!

    Would that kind of exercise be OK for your knee? I can't imagine having your hips create a somewhat degree of torque in your legs and your knees standing up to the stress...

    I found a foldable hula hoop and DVD fitness set once at an as seen on TV store. I wish I remembered the name... but I think if you google it, you should find it.

    I hoop nightly while I watch TV, I also do it in the squat position to get more out of it. My research says 100cal per 10min...
