Exercise Hooping

So, one of my Valentine's present was a 5 lb hula hoop! Yea! I had been mentioning to Scott for some time that I really wanted one and because he is the greatest guy ever, he ordered me one. I was SO excited when I opened the package. It's been incredibly easy and fun. A word of advice however, start slowly and yes, it is possible to bruise your belly! :)

Below I have listed a few benefits as well as a nice little pic of me in action. The hoop is spinning so it's a bit hard to see. Look closely!


Why Hula?
Because it:
Helps lose weight and increases the fitness level of the body.
Increases the flow of blood to the brain.
Is more reviving than a short nap.
Regular hula hooping helps increase the energy level of the body.
It strengthens the waist, hips and the knees.
The coordination of the body movement and breathing strengthens the torso muscles and enhances the flexibility of the spine. Hula hooping exercises promote the integral functions of our vital organs.
Hula hooping burns the unwanted fat in the midriff and tightens the stomach.
