I have found the hoop to be a refreshing alternative to other exercises, like crunches and boring old sit-ups. It is loads of fun and makes me feel like a kid again. If you have back problems then the Hula hoop is not for you. It is also not recommended if you are pregnant, but if you are looking for a fun and easy way to stay in great shape then you should definitely get yourself a hoop. You will be quite surprised at how much of a workout you can get by simply spinning the hoop round and round.

Those small hula hoops that kids use are not designed for adults, they are designed for kids. Believe me it makes a huge difference!
