Hula Hoops For Fitness

This new fitness craze makes me feel nostalgic! I picked up a hoop a few years back to shake up my home fitness routine. I didn't stick with it for very long. The hoop was too light and fell down on me so often, that I did not get much out of it.

These days they are making hoops big enough for adults, weighing in at about 5lbs. So they stay up long enough to sweat!

The Hula hoop or "hooping" craze hasn't hit Toronto as hard as it has invaded the UK and L.A fitness clubs. This activity is fun and has a lot of advantages.
