The Hula Hoop

Is one of man’s greatest inventions. Maybe a woman - saw the wheel and figured there has to be other uses for that round thing until someone invents an engine.

This little plastic thing is not just a fun toy you can use to make drunk friends look even more stupid, it can shape you, and can make you drop pounds if you do it while walking. Not to mention if done in sexy lingerie can drive your partner crazy!

The best one would be the weighted kind and if you’re a hoop newbie then I recommend getting the larger/wider/greater circumference ones - that way you can slow the pace as the smaller ones make you hoop like a speed freak.

There are many techniques to hula hoop, my favorite being the mild forward/back sway (you don’t need to rotate your hips like Elvis - unless you want to).

PROS:
+ Its easy
+ Its fun
+ Good for the body (especially the waist, obliques, and abs)
+ If done right, you can look SEXY doing it.

CONS:
- Might need practice for some (expect to drop it the first few times)
- Doesn’t work out your arms (unless you hula hoop with your arms?)
- Hard to find the perfect design (some of them are just bleh!)
