Enter your weight and the duration of hula hooping into the calculator to estimate the number of calories you have burned. This calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for hula hooping to provide an estimate.
Hula Hooping Calories Burned Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the calories burned while hula hooping.
Calories Burned = (MET * 3.5 * weight in kg) / 200 * duration in minutes
To calculate the calories burned while hula hooping, multiply the MET value by 3.5, then multiply by the weight in kilograms, divide by 200, and finally multiply by the duration in minutes.
