Day 6 - Hula Hooping

So I've been wanting to get a hula hoop for a really long time. I used to love hula hooping when I was a kid and I was always pretty good at it. I finally got one last week and decided to put it to use tonight. I moved the table over to make space and got to it.

The first thing that I noticed was that it was not heavy enough, it didn't want to stay up. I improvised, put some elastics on it, ran some bungee cord around the outside and filled the inside with pencils, it works well now :)

Anyway, hula hooping is fun, but its also really good for you. It is great for burning calories and getting rid of belly fat AND it tones your stomach muscles. But that's not all! It's also good for your internal organs because it massages them, it increases spinal flexibility, tones thigh muscles, gets your heart going etc.

I hooped for about forty-five minutes today and my muscles are already sore, my stomach, my thighs and my neck. I think I'm going to try and do it every day. It's fun and I can stand right in front of my tv while I'm doing it!

I definitely needed it tonight to burn off all of the delicious Chinese food that I ate at my work Christmas party! Yum!
