The Hula Hoops Help You Lose Weight

The Hula Hoops Help You Lose Weight Better Rhiannon: No matter what your age is some toys are just meant to be played with. Andrea shows us how to get our hula hoop on all in the name of fitness. Andrea: Do you want to feel like a kid again and lose that baby weight. Well I’m with the inventor of Hoopnotica Hula Hoop Dance Fitness Gabriella Redding. Tell us a little bit how you got started with this hoop dance? Gabriella Redding: (Hoopnotica Hula Hoop Dance) Andrea I started taking a Hula Hoop Fitness class in L.A and I became obsessed with it. It’s just fun and easy and it’s a great way for new moms to lose weight. I lost 30 pounds in one summer by hula hooping. Andrea: Well losing weight is one great thing about this hula hoop but it really is fun. It doesn’t take a lot of practice but you do more than just hula hoop like I’m doing. Gabriella: Sure a lot of people remember the toy kids hoops when they were younger and a lot of people adults have difficulty hooping with a small kids toy. These are a little bit heavier so learning to waist hoop is the first thing that we teach. Andrea: So rather than just regular hula hooping what else can you do with this hoop for fun? Gabriella: So most people know that you can put it around your waist. You can also drop it down on to your hips which is a little faster way of hooping. You can take it all the way down to your knees and on to your upper body taking it on and off of your body in a beautiful long spiral patterns that are just as much fun to do as playing with your hip when you’re working. Andrea: And now hoopnotica also makes a portable hoop so you can take it with you and a DVD what are some of the things we would see in the DVD. Gabriella? Gabriella: The DVD will teach you the basic moves like waist hooping sometimes people have a problem with but also the hip hooping also the beautiful halo’s up all the way up and all the way back down. We teach you how to reverse the hoop and know how to put all of these together so it becomes a workout. Andrea: Well you’ve lost 30 pounds and that baby weight and we’re still having fun like kids and here’s my big finish that’s Hoopnotica I’m Andrea Metcalf. Rhiannon: Looks like fun, thanks Andrea.
