Calories Burned Hula Hooping Formula
The formula to estimate the calories burned while hula hooping is as follows:
Calories Burned = (MET * 3.5 * weight in kg) / 200 * duration in minutes
Variables:
- MET is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is a measure of the energy cost of physical activities. For hula hooping, the average MET is 4.0.
- Weight is the weight of the person hula hooping in kilograms.
- Duration is the time spent hula hooping in minutes.
To calculate the calories burned, convert the weight from pounds to kilograms, then multiply the MET value by 3.5 and the weight in kilograms, divide by 200, and finally multiply by the duration in minutes.
