Hula hooping is one such fun and exciting way of

You lose yourself in the movement; you have fun while hula hooping and you
don’t even realize that you are exercising hard!!
Hula hopping is actually a physical activity where
you try to revolve a round shaped hoop around your waist, belly, arms and legs.
This hula hoop has a span about 45 inches in diameter and weighs about 2
pounds. It helps to burn as many as calories as kickboxing and aerobics.
According to The American Council, this exercises
helps you in burning around 420 calories in an hour. Isn’t it just amazing? I
mean, you play the music, practice hula hooping for an hour and voila!! You

Hula hooping
not only keeps you fit and in-shape but also helps you in lifting out from
depression. It does have a very positive impact of our body and mind.
Hula hooping is loved by people of all ages from all
over the world. Even the kids love hula hooping- they try to revolve it, they
giggle, they drop the hoop, they pick it up again, laugh and have fun!!
The most important factor that any other exercise of
staying fit like treadmill and morning walker doesn’t have is its happy factor.

been opened by the hula masters while there are small classes of hula hooping
are held at the gyms and other fitness centers. They have an hour long session
which is fun and frolic in all means. But if you are wondering that this
activity of hula hooping has been discovered in recent time and is new, then

their homes. It doesn’t require any special set-up or environment. All what you
need is a hoop and enough room to swing it. Around your hooping area you must
have a music system and the area would be like the icing on the cake. This is
the most inexpensive, effective and fun way to exercise.
