The hula hoop burst onto the scene in the 1950’s and it’s been a national pastime since. Most of us remember playing with them as kids, but by the time we get to be adults, we leave them behind. Little do most of us know that hula-hooping is actually very good exercise, and a whole new exercise craze has been spawned, known as hoop-ing. Is it a great new way to get fit or a whole lot of hooey? Let’s find out!
One of the best places to learn about hoop-ing is at Hoopnotica.com. This is a site that is dedicated to the art, and it provides numerous videos and resources for those interested in learning more about it. The hoops that you can buy from Hoopnotica are a bit different from the average kid’s hoop, and they are designed to help you get more of an exercise benefit from using it.
These hoops are designed with adults in mind, and are a little bit bigger and heavier to make it easier to move around with one. The ones we remember as children are usually too small now and won’t work as effectively. Hoopnotica sells these special hoops on their site and have them priced very reasonably.
Hoopnotica is also the place to get DVD’s about hoop dancing, a new form of exercise that incorporates a cardiovascular workout. The DVDs have become so popular that many towns now have hoop dancing workout studios and classes are quickly becoming available at a local gym.
When it comes to exercise, we actually have to hand it to Hoopnotica. They have come up with a great way to get fit that is actually fun, and with practice, should produce very good results. There are some sound practices and principles behind hoop dancing and it is a great exercise for those that may not yet be ready for more strenuous exercise.
Overall, we are fully behind hoop dancing, as we are any form of exercise that is actually enjoyable and gets you moving around. If you don’t have a hoop dancing class in your area, you may want to check out the DVDs to get started on your own. Chances are, once you get started, you’ll be hooked. Hoopnotica offers quite a few different resources to keep you going and help you stay motivated on your fitness plan.
We enjoyed the exercise plan put forth by Hoopnotica and found that their equipment and workout materials were very well priced. They’ve done a great job of building up a very useful site. Hoop dancing is quickly sweeping the country and if you haven’t tried it yet, it is certainly worth the effort and may just be the right answer for those that need to get fit and are tired of the old, usual exercise routines.
The incorporation of dancing and hoop-ing is sure to get your heart pumping and may even improve your dance skills as you get better at the art of hoop dancing.

This looks like a lot of fun!
I am really excited about trying Hoopnotica. I can’t wait to buy the dvd’s & mix cds! I will probably end up buying a ton of hoops too, to share with my friends and family.
