'I'm all about Hula-hooping right now!' tweeted the E! Fashion Police star. '5mins in the morning 5 mins at night... in 5 days I lost 2 inches from my waistline!'
Kelly Osbourne

"According to a study by the American College on Exercise (ACE), hula hooping can burn seven calories per minute, as many as a grueling boot camp class and can raise the heart rate to about 84 percent of its max."

    I saw that the other day and forgot all about it. I'm going to the garage right now and we'll just see if I can lose 2" in 5 days. Now I just have to know. Hmmm. The other thing...interesting thought indeed.:glasses:

    I wouldn't know about losing inches that fast - but hula hooping is a hell of an exercise. I've seen people who do it for performance art, things like weighted hoops, fire hoops, even belly dancing with them! It looks fun!

    agree!! i have a hula hoop and i;ve gotten better at it, but can only do it standing still, not while moving etc. could be worthwhile to try weighted ones - perhaps they work better?

    dont believe the 2inch claim though!

    So a grueling boot camp class burns 7 calories a minute? How in the world does an elliptical tell me I'm doing double that?

    Also, there is finally a concrete number! 5 days, 10min a day, 7 cal a min
    > 350 calories = 2 inches!! About time!! :noway:

    Edit: I can't hula for the life of me, I just think the numbers are a little crazy.

    no way did she lose 2" in 5 days unless she was just really bloated before. And in 5 mins morning & night? Not possible.

    Yes i agree the numbers are a bit over estimated but you will def lose some weight on the waist. It will also be more fun than sit ups.

    Don't believe the hype but hula hooping, especially with weighted hula hoops, is a workout.

    I have a hula Hoop that lights up! *Disco! but I doubt it will accomplish this much of a change.. time to test the theory!

    I saw weighted hula hoops @ the State Fair last year. Interesting, but I wouldn't spend the cash on one.
