Why we hoop.....

Hooping is a complete core workout. (Cue the killer abs.) Hooping regularly can help to whittle your waist and strengthen your stomach muscles while blasting fat in these (often problematic) areas. (Studies that show that hooping burns visceral fat- the fat that is the hardest to get off the older you get, and also the most detrimental to heart health.

It's also a full body workout.Recent studies have suggested that hula hooping works as many as 30 of your body's muscles.

Hooping will make you feel the (calorie) burn. Hooping has been proven to burn over 300-400 calories per hour.
I just burned 392 calories just in 37 minutes. Yes!!!!

Hooping is good for your heart. You know, the most important muscle of all!!!

Improves your spine's strength and flexibility. The movements require a significant range of motion for your spine while increased practice can train your spine to a greater range of motions than you are used to, increasing your flexibility and even preventing back injuries.

Improves hand-eye co-ordination and motor skills.


"H" Factor. Happiness
Get ready to enjoy the wonderful burst of endorphin's you're likely to enjoy after a good session of hooping, this activity can have other, more subtle positive effects on your psyche.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your hoop, blast some tunes, work that body, and GO for it!!!
