Hula Hoop

I'm sure Kharv said she was using one to great effect.

Wouldn't be for me though, I haven't got the necessary coordination or flexibility to do the action!

Sounds cool, I want one! I was always good at the hoola hoop game on wii, I hope that means I will be good at hoola hooping in real life!

As long as it isn't one of those massage ones, you'll be good to go.

I had one of the ones with the massage balls in and it was terrible - was absolutely covered in bruises.

I know Kharv said the same. She also said though that she bought another weighted one which didn't have the massage balls in and it's much better.

I can't hula-hoop to save my life, but believe it or not my Granny swore by it for keeping trim. She just used a normal kids toy one, and hula-hooped every day till she got sick (that's a different story) she was always really trim and I don't remember her dieting much or doing a lot of other exercise, so I guess it worked for her.

(She was also a bit bonkers and used to do a hand-stand against the wall every birthday just to prove she still could. She gave that one up when she broke her wrist doing it at the age of 69 and the doctor told her off!)

Ha...Yorkshire Kiwi...your gran sounds fab!

Yorkshire kiwi that story made me spit out my tea! ?

I have this one.

I really like it. I've had a few weeks off as have been on hols and only used it for a couple of weeks before that, but I'm looking forward to getting back to it.
