Do you Hula Hoop?

This is something I had not thought of in AGES. I have a friend who owns a hoopin’ studio called the HoopShack. We actually HULA HOOP there. I haven’t hooped in a long time. Actually, yes, DECADES. But I can do it. I can and it’s fun, and it’s exciting and it can be exhausting.

Today my friend had a class at a little sort of private workout studio called Velociti. I went  and it was a blast. For some reason I have days where I can hoop like I know what I’m doing and other days, I look like a total rookie. Today, I looked like I’d been doing it forever. 

I have a bodybugg and after hooping, it showed I’d burned 1112 calories. Yes, HULA HOOPING. Isn’t that crazy? I love it. Then my son and his fiance came over and she and I hooped and it was exhausting. It was great.

If you think that some “fitness” thing won’t work for you, think again. It’s about muscle confusion, don’t you watch the infomercials? Make 2011 your year to try some new exercise. Hooping is fun and exercise. That’s gotta relieve some stress right?

Have a great day, and have some fun when you work out. It’s not supposed to be drudgery, it’s for your health.
