It does make sense...unfortunately, I don't think I have enough space anywhere in the house to use a hula hoop. There's always the yard....

I don't know how to hula hoop....never been able to...sigh...

What if you get stuck in the hula-hoop? What then?

30 minutes is a long time to hula-hoop.

coconutshell: You learn something new every day.

boniface: When purchasing the hula hoop, you should insure that it is considerably larger than your midsection.

bignosemousie: The idea is to try to go for 30 minutes. Probably not everyone will feel up to that right away, but the goal it to keep at it as long as you can up to 30 minutes.

Absolutely fantastic. I remember when the hula hoop was invented and I had one. We use to see who could make it go the longest. Of course, at the age of 6 we were all thin and not conscious of the exercise benefit.

Great post. I think I will go out and get one.
