AN AWESOME FUN FAMILY WORKOUT ... WITH HOW TO ALSO

  Hula hooping ... it is an awesome workout and a year ago I shared a how-to link on a group I used to have on here....

Here is a simple fun routine ... and my oh my it is a fun calorie burner or keeping in shape workout ...  http://www.realsimple.com/health/fitness-exercise/workouts/h ula-hoop-exercise-00000000057576/index.html 

Of course for it to work best a fitness hula hoop at a sports store is the best kind to have and if you don't want to spend $$ you can make your own and several others .... WOW .. with only one roll of tubing I made awesome weighted hulas and decorated them for family, friends and the awesome youth at church and at the outreach center where I volunteer...

This is the link for how to make hula hoops and  ALL the materials are found at your local hardware store .. I spent less than $40 bucks and made hulas galore ... and still make them when asked.  I weight my hulas with steelies and water ... and have an awesome work out .... 

HOW TO MAKE A HULA HOOP:  http://www.jasonunbound.com/hoops.html  IT IS AN AWESOME WORKOUT...

I made these last year ... I even made several recently as the weather is warming up for friends who like to hula on the beach .... hmmmmmmm I may just do that later.... heading out to Zumba with my daughter again this morning ... then to the house of praise ... and then to RELAX .. maybe on the beach.... I did a 5 mile run early this morning ... that morning run gives me a surge of energy for the rest of the day....


 

and yesterday on the Green when my son DARED me to hula with others I was right on it too...
 

THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE ... this was one of my best NSV moments ... when I was able to hula again... try it if you like ... it is an AWESOME WORKOUT and great exercise for the FAMILY too.. check it out at Hoopnotica  http://www.hoopnotica.com/ 

Great idea!! I loved hula hooping as a child--it was something that I did with my mother all the time. I think the last time I tried I failed miserably but now that I've lost some weight, maybe I'll be able to get the hips a-movin'. Even at my highest weight I totally rocked the hula hoop exercise on the Wii, altho no actual hoops are involved, lol.

So, the homemade hoops---do they make that awesome hula hoop sound? I love that sound!

Thanks for the idea! I know my mother would love a new way to exercise so I might have to make one for her too if I do this. It'll be like the olden days, lol!

You bought back memories ... I used to hula hoop with my mom all the time growing up and my she was good....  then forget it ... even after I lost the wait I had to keep trying the hoop kept falling down ... then I tried one of the weighted ones and it worked ... I went online to try to buy one and the website for the guy who makes them popped up ... and I have been making them since and using them too.... I started back in July of last year ... when I finally got in the hula groove again LOL...

It is an awesome idea doing this with your mom!

You know how to keep things interesting!! Looks like fun.

April its tons of fun .. both making and doing the hula ...give it a shot if you like .. you'll see...

No workout here unless you count bending down to pick it up after a few spins. LOL
Maybe more practice?

 Julie it does take practice ... I kept trying and trying and could not figure out why I could do this as a youngster and not now ... even after the weight loss ... and once I got a feel of the weighted hoops I have been doing it since ... yup practice ... it is an awesome workout... and good for the waistline too.. and FUN!
