Does anyone do this?
I heard a radio article about hula hooping as exercise/sport and it sounds like the sort of thing that can be done virtually anywhere provided you've got a hoop.
Seems that it might be good for core strength. The radio piece was talking to people who do it competitively and can do alsorts of things at the same time - including dressing & undressing! I don't think I'd want to go that far.
I remember having a hoop when I was a kid and being absolutely hopeless at it. However, I was hopless at anything remotely athletic - and soon lost interest!
From a little research it looks like it's important to get the right size & weight of hoop. I'm wondering about taking a couple of classes to see how I get on.
Any thoughts?
