Body
Hooping is a new fitness trend that uses larger weighted hoops.
The larger hoops
spin easier than the common toy hoop. The added weight of
the hoop provides a
workout challenge which instantly burns calories. It is a
great low impact exercise alternative that provides a whole
body workout. Over time, one of the most noticeable benefits
is core toning and waistline sculpting.
Shimming
the hoop down around your buttock and legs also works directly
on these areas. In addition, the arm work improves shoulder
strength and definition. Turning,
walking and using the hoop in arm patterns is not only strengthening,
but fun.
For the mid-lifers, it makes you feel like a kid again. It's
a real lift: It takes you out of
the hectic, harried pace of your daily routine and transcends
you into a completely holistic and uplifting workout.

In
class, hooping is always performed to music. This improves
the workout motivation and lends itself to creativity and
self expression, which is unique to hooping. At home, students
report that they like to hoop in front of the TV watching
the news. Others like to hoop and unwind listening to a favorite
CD at the end of the day.
For
children and teenagers, body hooping is a hot, new way to
exercise and have fun!
You will learn tricks that will amaze your friends. Fitness
Body Hoops are blingy, and
grab lots of attention. From
a therapeutic perspective, hooping is great for individuals
who are afflicted with or are recovering from, a neurological
disability.
I work with children with developmental delays and adults
with multiple handicaps.
Hooping helps recruit all of the abdominal and back muscles.
It gives great
feedback with regards to posture and centering, and helps
one improve balance and agility. It also facilitates improved
coordination of movement.

Rejuvenate
with Spring Hooping
Spring
is the season symbolizing new life, rebirth, renewal and
rejuvenation.
The weather is becoming warmer in the Northern Temperate
Hemisphere
and the plants are beginning to revive from their winter
hiatus.
Our
bodies are also starting to revive. The increased warmth
generated by the
sunlight, helps relieve some of the pain and stiffness
that develops during the
cold winter months. As a result we naturally feel uplifted
and start to look
forward to outside activities.
Spring
is the perfect time to bring wholeness and well-being
back into your body.
It is a great time to take your hoop outside. I recommend
starting gently.
Just feel the hoop around your core, stimulating your
circulation.
Listen to the birds as they search for new nesting spots.
Watch the sunlight
reflect off the colors of your hoop. Breath deep. Let
the sunlight and your hoop,
warm your inner soul.
Revive
and Rejuvenate Yourself in the Spirit of Spring!
