According to the American Council on Exercise, individuals can burn 210 calories after just 30 minutes of hula-hooping -- that's equal to seven calories every minute! In fact, hula-hoopers can expect similar fitness results from "hooping" as they can from bootcamp classes and cardio kickboxing.
Celebrities such as Kelly Osbourne, Marisa Tomei and Michelle Obama have all tried hula hooping, and now you can too. The YMCA has introduced hula hooping classes at some of its centres. These instructional dance classes teach basic hula hoop moves and routines with an emphasis on fitness, fun and individual creativity.
