Does a Hula chair workout count?

I have a hula chair and I worked out on it this morning. I used it for 30 minutes while I watched Jerry Springer show. Jerry Springer is such a mindless show you can do lots of things while watching it. Now here is the concern I wear a pedometer and when working out on the chair it counts my hoops as steps. This shows that I have 2542 steps and equates to .92 miles. Hm I like this so I do this each morning before go on my walk. Currently I am doing 2 miles a day and with the Hula chair I total 3 miles. This gives me such a feeling of accomplishment.

Well I am still moving on.
