  Hands down, hula hooping is one of THE best ways to get into shape and to have fun while doing it! I stopped going to the gym over three years ago and have also been teaching hula hoop fitness classes too! The hoop got me into the best shape I have ever been in- with a 6-pack of abs and tone arms too. I also make and sell custom weighted hula hoops to all over the country www.customweightedhulahoop.com

  A lot of you are defending the hula hoop, and while I don't exercise as much as I should, I have to ask, do you switch directions regularly or do you seem to favor one direction more often. Any single-sided activity is hard on your muscles and puts more strain on your joints. Even things like golf and bowling mess with your body more than you know.
  
  And just so you know. Highheels are harder on your body than you think. So any of you with a stripperella workout, I would highly suggest doing it barefoot, especially if you are one to wear highheels on a regular basis anyways.

  Fads come and go but the reality remains the same. High Intensity Interval Training along with the Mediterranean Diet is the only way to ensure FAST and LIFE LASTING BENEFITS.
