Hula hooping

Hi all,
Just started using a weighted hula hoop, trying to find out how many calories it burns off. Read a few articles which says it burns the same as step or brisk walking, does that seem about right?
Thanx

It depends what kind of hooping you are doing. I hoop dance around my arms, shoulders, waist and do a bunch of tricks and it burns about 100 calories per 10 minutes when I keep at it. However, learning the tricks doesn't get my heart rate up there so it is much less. It also depends on the weight of the hoop. There are so many factors. You may want to get a heart rate monitor.0

Thank you,I'll have a look for one. Not doing the tricks just the normal, but the hula hooping on the wii burns quite a lot so I'm thinking it's the same thing0

My heart rate monitor gave me 80 cals for 10 minutes of normal hula hooping with a 400 gm weighted hoop0
