Get a new Toy

Are you bored with your current fitness program?  Maybe you have been walking the same street, doing the same crunches and/ or the same exercises every time you go to the gym!

Maybe it is time to add a new toy to your fitness routine!

Have you ever tried Hula Hooping?  I know what you are going to say, one of 2 things:

  1. I haven’t hula hooped since I was a kid  OR
  2. I could never hula hoop even when I was a kid!

I KNOW that you didn’t say, “I am too old to hula hoop” because you are NOT too old to Hula Hoop!

It is a GREAT core exercise. It is also awesome for your lower back and hips! It takes a little while to get used to it but don’t give up!! Some of our girls took several trys to get it but once they did, they had fun with it! We incorporate it into many of our workouts.

There are several different kinds of hula hoops.  You can pick a cheap one up at your local Target or Walmart for $5.  All of our girls started out on these and did well.  They may be a little frustrating for you because they are very light.

You can also get a little bit better one at your local sports store like Big 5 or Dicks.

You can even order them online!  There are collapsible hula hoops and made to order ones!

Don’t think too much into it! Just find one and have fun with it.  We use all different kinds in class!

Let us know if you get one and how you are liking it!
