Body Hooping is a new fitness trend using 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 which provides a whole body workout. One of the most noticeable
benefits over time 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
and 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 the abdominal and back muscles. It gives great
feedback about posture and centering and it helps one improve balance and agility.
It facilitates improved coordination of movement.
