Hula Hooping as an activity

It would be nice to have hooping, both weighted and un-weighted as an activity that could be logged.

I'm sure there are many more out there that hoop

We really need a way to manually log hula hooping. Especially using a weighted hoop. How many more of us have to ask before it actually happens?! Surely we don’t have to beg 🧞‍:female_sign:👍🏼😃

Interesting we have 16 voters and now 28 comments .With 100 of msny. thousands of fitbits sold yearly, 16 users doesn't sound like a popular request.

Please add Hula Hooping, it is such a great fat burner and core exercise. Both weighted hoops such as FXP hoops and regular hoops burn calories, just would be really nice to be able to log accurately. Not sure what I should be logging as an alternative right now

Please add hula hooping as an exercise!! I also hoop 30 minutes every day and have no clue how many calories I burn.. 

 

At the moment I'm tracking it as 'jumping rope' .. a little bit less in calorie burn (compared to information online) but at least I can track my active minutes

Can you add Hula Hooping to exercises, at the moment I can manually add it in as Aerobic but if I look back I’d like to know exactly what I did.

Hi @SherrineD! Great suggestion, thanks for taking the time to share why you would like to have this activity as an option with Fitbit. I've moved it into a similar suggestion. Hopefully we will have support from other users since more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains.

Okay, it's been 4 years since people started talking about this. What gives Fitbit?!! Add hula hooping ASAP. I'm a consumer of your product and I'm unsatisfied. I LOVE hula hooping as one of my exercises and want to track it!!

Yes it has been 4 years with little to no activity. 

Please reread the FAQ

This should have gone on before hunting... seriously fitbit, disappointed that you can customise a workout to hunting on the app but there are so many proper exercises and sports still missing

Hooping is an amazing form of exercise, it's fun, it's a great all over workout, it can be done anywhere and it brings people together

Please add hula hooping - weighted and unweighted to the list of exercises! Can’t add it to my fitness tracking 😞

@bgeorgeu unfortunately 74 votes is not enough, we really need closer rlto 500 before support will notice.
