I've heard people mention that they're hula hooping and I was just wondering if anyone knows how many calories it burns? I went to http://www.caloriesperhour.com and the only hula it mentioned was hula "dancing". Do you think that's the same thing as hula hooping? Thanks, Brenda

    hula dancing is what they do in hawaii with grass skirts and I know its waaaay more intense so it wouldn't be the same calories. see what the wii fit version burns... i bet that's be similar...

    I hula hoop on the Wii every day! I don't know how to log it, so I put it as low impact aerobics, 'cause it IS in the aerobic category of the Wii.

    I don't have the Wii. WAY too expensive for me! I'd love to get one some day though, cuz everything I've read says how much fun everyone is having with theirs! :bigsmile:
    I've just got the real deal hula hoop, and just haven't got a clue how much it'd burn off! :grumble:
