What Are the Fitness Benefits of Hula Hooping?
Hula hooping has come a long way since the lightweight hoops of childhood. New weighted hula hoops offer cardio conditioning and core strengthening and can be a fun way to burn calories. MayoClinic.com advises that if you can hoop for more than 10 minutes at a time, it’s an aerobic activity. Avoid lightweight hoops — the heavier the hoop, the easier it is to get started and to keep going for longer time periods.
