Hi, Anyone into hooping?

I've got no idea how many calories i burn doing it... The only similar exercise on the MFP calorie counter is wii-fit hula hooping and i'm sure i burn more doing the real thing?

Does anyone else log this themsleves? What do you put it down as? I use a standard sized dance hoop doing tricks and general waist hooping...

Thanks! :)

    If you can I suggest you get HRM-it will be best investment you will ever make; it's the only way to really tell how much you're trully burning, all the websites including MFP do "guess" work, so it's innacurate in most cases because everyone is different.

    Haha! I wish! Sounds like fun, but I am not coordinated enough for that!

    I just ordered a set and the Hoopnotica DVDs about a week ago - I can't wait for them to arrive!! Was thinking about using my HRM to track, but haven't decided yet - might not work so well to have it on while hooping!

    I thought I was the only one who used a weighted hula hoop! I love to hula to Belly Dance music. I found a belly dance cd at the Dollar store and it's great. I also like to hula hoop in front of the television. I haven't been exercising regularly like I should (lost my motivation), but I'm ready to get back to it. I'm going to grab my hula hoop and start working it out again!! :happy:
