I’ve only recently come across the health benefits of hula hooping and how you can use hula hooping in your daily exercise routine to not only tone up your tummy, but add a little fun as well. We can probably all think back to our younger days when we would hula hoop at school and for fun at home, it was always worth a few laughs, but as I personally grew older, the hula hoop faded into the background as one of those “kids” activities that I had simply outgrown.

Well not any more! It appears that hula hooping is making a come back, but more interestingly with the adult crowd. Women around the country have dropped some of those boring exercises and picked up their hoops for a fun workout, and they even learn a little dancing as well. Check out the video below for a few fantastic hula hooping pointers:

So just what are the health benefits of hula hooping? Well as you can see in the video above hula hooping really can be a great full body workout. However, the main concentration is in your mid or abdominal section, helping to strengthen your abs, tighten your stomach and lose weight. Should you get good enough to pull off some of the tricks in the video, you can really tone your whole body with this very fun and exciting old way to exercise.
