Hula Hooping is taking off
Hula Hooping is taking off all over the world – thanks to the efforts of AMERICA’S First Lady, Michelle Obama. She’s the best hooper I know, says the President. And she showed off on the White House Lawn, hooping for 147 swirls at a single go, as she launched a healthy kids fair to beat childhood obesity. So just how hard is hula hooping? And what good does it do? Anne’s been finding out. See the new video in www.Fathappens.com TIP 1. It burns a LOT of calories – its great cardio exercise – and is good for “core” muscles, giving you great deportment and posture! TIP 2. It’s cheap. Hula hoops don’t cost much (£23 for a good one, though there are cheaper ) and most gyms are now bringing them out of their cupboards – including Virgin Gyms and Curves, and there are even specially weighted hoops and hoops for men – see hoopguy.com! TIP 3. It’s all about forwards/backwards movements – not sideways!
