Would you believe us if we told you that 30 minutes of weighted hula hooping could burn up to 300 calories? It sounds almost too good to be true.
While anecdotally reaching this burn rate, according to a study by Ace Fitness, 16 healthy women reported an average of 210 calories burned in this period. What’s more, a report published in the National Library of Medicine monitored 55 overweight nondiabetic subjects, half of which hula hooped and the other walked. The hula group saw a significant reduction in fat percentage, an increase in muscle mass and a reduction in waist circumference.
