    yes just a regular hoop one big enough for yourself, and yes just as normal.. it works wonders on the hips too!!

    swimming.......free if you live by the sea lol.....otherwise only a small fee at the pool.Its fantastic allround burner.Gives you pluses on stamina strength and suppleness and it doesnt hurt your joints because of your buoyancy.

    I have a membership to the YMCA and so I go run on the treadmill or ride the stationary bike there, but this morning I just went for a walk through my neighborhood, that's always free.

    "Free exercise?" Meaning one you don't pay for? Pretty much anything that jacks up the HR and produces sweat can be considered exercise. Jumping is a naturally free movement; i.e., jumping rope, jumping jacks, jumping on a trampoline, jumping fences, jumping topics...

    When doing my circuit training two things that really get my heart rate up are jumping jacks...and High Knees! Get your knees up to horizontal, and keep it fast...soon gets the heart going!

    Cleaning the house, it is a good workout and you feel extra good afterward because your house is clean.
