"I believe that ACE did research on calories burned during hooping. The research is out there im sure. Ive always heard u can burn up to 600 calories an hour. I believe that ACE found y burn about 400 an hour. Hope this helps."

"Maybe this will help? http://www.acefitness.org/certifiednews/images/article/pdfs/HulaHoopStudy.pdf This was cited in the wikipedia article for hooping under the fitness section. There were a few other citations but this one seems the most legit!"

Need scientific data for an article about hooping

I'm writing an article about hooping that I intend to submit to a site that markets articles for websites, magazines, newsletters, etc. I have most of the article completed, but I'm really hitting a brick wall trying to find actual data about the health benefits of hoop dance. I've written, and I know, that it is good for cardiovascular health, burning calories, strengthening muscles, improving balance.. But I'd like some actual data about calories burned (though I understand that this varies…See More

One neat thing about my polypro hoop, and other stuff

I came here to post in my own journal, but I detoured first to read other people's latest entries. How uplifting to see so much good news today! People achieving goals, learning, growing, sharing, on a personal level and even with big crowds of people in performances! It makes me smile to read these things!

Me & Sid went to a local park and played for about 2 hours today. We brought the radio and all of our hoops, just in case anyone else wanted to play. Unbelievably warm weather…

 

New hoops!

I was the lucky winner of the December HoopCity Challenge, and I got a $25 gift certificate from hoopsupplies.com. 

First I have got to say that hoopsupplies.com is a wonderful company to deal with. I was a dork and couldn't figure out where to put my gift certificate code, and they emailed me back immediately to let me know how, and they didn't call me a dork. Shipping was lightning quick. I am not sure where they are located but I think it took 2 days to get to me in…

 

Good practice day

I got lots of hooping time in today. Mother Nature was surely smiling upon Atlanta, GA, because despite it being the end of January, it was sunny and warm outside, just perfect! I mentioned before that I've been a little frustrated at having such a small amount of tricks to work with. So I took the time to learn a new trick even if it wasn't one that just wowed me. I really think I need to go to a few classes soon where I can learn some new things with a bit of guidance.

I did a lot…
