ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi maʻalahi a maopopo loa, ʻo ka hula ballroom kahi haʻawina maikaʻi loa. ʻO ka mea kikoʻī, ʻo ka hula kaiapuni kahi hana aerobic haʻahaʻa e puhi ai i ka momona a hiki ke hoʻoikaika i kāu metabolism. I loko o 30 mau minuke hula, hiki iā ʻoe ke puhi ma waena o 200-400 calories. A e like me kā mākou e ʻike ai, ʻo ka puhi ʻana i 300 calories hou i ka lā hiki ke kōkua iā ʻoe e lilo i ka ½-1 paona i ka pule. ʻIke ʻia ka Journal of Physiological Anthropology e like ka maikaʻi o ka hula e like me ka hoʻoikaika kino no ka pohō kaumaha e like me ka holo kaʻa a me ka holo. A he ʻano maikaʻi loa ia o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa mālama; e noho olakino a leo i ka wā i hiki ai ʻoe i kāu paona pahuhopu.
