Hula Hooping

I just started hula hooping about a month ago to burn some calories. I'm not too good at it yet, but need to keep practicing. We were at the park about a month ago & saw 2 woman sitting on a bench, eating an ice cream & they each had a hula hoop sitting next to them. I think they might exercise at the park with the hoops? Maybe I can start a hula hooping group. haha.

Interesting idea for exercise. Let me know how this works for you!

Supposedly the best exercise is to bounce (so your feet are still touching the mat) on one of those mini trampolines for 5-10 minutes a day. I guess it works your body on a cellular level or something.

Tell you what though - it wasn't as easy as it sounds. After about 2 minutes, my calves were starting to burn. I'm working my way up from 5 minutes to the full 10!
