If you are anything like me, structured fitness is not my
favorite thing to do. Scheduling time,
outside of my normal routine, to attend a fitness class or even go to the gym
and hang out on the treadmill can be a struggle for me. I’m really great at making up excuses as to
why before or after work I should not leave my house.
I’m also a very playful person. Dancing and playing games like hop-scotch are more exciting for me then going on a 20 mile bike ride.
So, how does this girl get any exercise? Well, I play, just like we all did when we
were kids. One of my favorite and
easiest forms of exercising is HULA HOOPING!!!
Yep, hula hooping. Not kidding!
Here’s why it’s a great activity! You can buy one at just about any store for
$5 or you can buy a fitness hoop (slightly weighted) for $20. Also, you can do it from the comfort of your
own home. Another bonus is that it’s small, so it can
fit in your closet or even behind your couch.
Better yet, even when you first start out and you are reacquainting
yourself with this magnificent mechanism, no one will see you (except maybe
your family) when you keep dropping it.
My favorite way to hula hoop is to turn on an episode of one of
my favorite shoes on Netflix or Hulu that is usually only 20 minutes long. When the show starts, I start hula
hooping. When the show ends, I know I’ve
done a 20 minute workout.
It truly is a good work out for the core and you get a quick
exercise session before you decide to pull out the baby carrots and edamame’s
to finish binge watching that show.
