I try
to stay away from the word exercise. A lot of people
instantly shy away as soon as they hear that word but
let me tell you there is nothing better for you and
if you want to keep your body in it's best shape you
are going to have to work at it.
Work, another
word that quite a few people do not like but in all
reality it has to be done. There are fun ways to exercise.
These are the best because you do not even realize that
you are working and exercising. You are just having
fun.
Hoop dancing is exactly the
same way. You do not even realize that you are getting
such a great workout. It combines two of my favorite
things into one great way to get some cardio and stay
fit. Hula hooping and dancing and you do not have to
know how to do either one in order to enjoy yourself.
I prefer to use a weighted
hula hoop. These hoops make it so much easier to
get started. As a kid, I always had a hard time getting
the hula hoop started and once I did get it going, it
seemed impossible to keep it going for any length of
time. Times have changed and they are now much easier
to use so if you have had a hard time using a hula hoop
in the past, you have got to get a weighted hoop. They
are fun and easy to use.
The dance part is the same way.
You do not have to be some professional dancer to enjoy
hula dances. There are no crazy complicated moves to
learn. Just like everything else you start off slow
and work your way towards your goals.
