Has anyone tried exercising with a hula hoop and how effective is it?

Posted by admin on March 31st, 2010 and filed under hula hoop | 3 Comments »

I mean the hula hoop ring, NOT the crisp snack! lol. I’ve exercised with far too many of the latter n that’s why I’m in this situation! :)

Hula hooping burns approximately 200 calories in just a half hour. So of course you could lose weight :) Not to mention the workout you are giving your abs contributing to muscle building. I cant hula hoop to save my life or id give it a try but i do the hula hoop game on my wii fit and what a workout.

Is hula hooping on the wii fit good for toning stomachs?

Posted by admin on March 31st, 2010 and filed under hula hooping | 2 Comments »

I was just wondering because I LOVE it and could happily do it for an hour a day, so would it help tone my belly or do anything at all towards my fitness?
Just to mention – before I got my wii fit, I did no exercise whatsoever and hadn’t done for the last 4 years! (Don’t know if that makes a difference!)

lol i also love the hula hooping and SUPER hula hooping!…i feel like its working the muscles but i also do gym everyday and ab exercises so i really couldnt be sure if the wii is helping or not!

I just bought a weighted hula hoop!?

Posted by admin on March 29th, 2010 and filed under weighted hula hoops | 3 Comments »

Does anyone have any results from using theirs to pass on?
How long should I use it each day to see results?

Ouch, wouldnt a weighted hoop hurt your sides? All I do know is that while hoola hooping is a great form of exercise, it takes quite awhile to start seeing anything from it – but for cardio and slow weight loss and that its as good as any if you can keep it up.

How do you make a blue/purple hula hoop glow in a black light?

Posted by admin on March 27th, 2010 and filed under hula hoop | 2 Comments »

I need to do a project and it involves recording. I am doing it on fire spinning, but i can’t use fire yet, so I was going to use a black light, to show the different kinds of spinning.. But my hoop is blue and purple, and those colors do not glow in black lights.

What could I do to make it glow?

you could try getting white duck tape, and tape the hula hoop. White always glows in black light
