Do you hate getting down on the floor to do sit ups and abdominal exercises? Are you tired of that little roll around your abdomen? Then hula hooping is for you. Not just any hula hoop though. Check out the fitness department of one of the discount department stores. You might just find one of the new and improved weighted hula hoops. Or if you are handy you can make one yourself by visiting your local hardware store.
Women tend to keep weight around their abdomen as they age. By paying attention to diet, limiting your amount of alcohol consumption, and exercising regularly you can prevent this. Having extra pounds around the belly can increase the chance of stroke and heart disease. Why hula hooping you ask? Because hooping requires a lot of effort from some of the biggest muscles in the body, and because these muscles require a lot of energy, it forces the body to burn fat stores. Hooping will also work out several of your core muscles by strengthening and toning these muscles. Another benefit is that hooping is fun and can bring you back to thoughts of your care free days as a kid, thus making hooping a great stress reliever.
