Every day people do it. The First Lady does it. Overweight people do it and shrink themselves, changing their lives for the better. Adults do it. People who couldn't do it as kids.... they do it.
What is it? It's hooping. As exercise. As fun. As play. As something to do while watching TV, sending email, thinking, or getting lost in the moment. And it's spreading. You're going to be surprised. Everyone can learn to hoop, when given a size that fits and instruction that works. Try it and be the first to tell your friends.
Proof of its rise and accessibility is everywhere. See a recent New York Times article:

It's fun, it's aerobic
Veteran hula-hoopers have long stood by its aerobic virtues. “A lot of
people are interested in hooping for its health benefits, which might
get them hooked, but it’s also such a fun way to do cardio,” said Bex
Burton, a hula hoop instructor who founded Sense of Motion, a Brooklyn-based company that teaches hula-hooping, Pilates and yoga.
It's not about being perfect
“One of my constant quotes in class is if you’re giggling, you’re doing
it correctly,” Mr. Pildes said. “It’s not about how graceful you are, or
what trick you can do. It’s about finding the joy in your workout.”
What do you have to lose? Don't wait. Classes are here. I teach in the Farmington area at Dancing Feats. New single-day workshops in December on Wednesday nights, 7:30pm. Details coming soon. In the meantime, you can create a class of your own at the above link. I can also come to your home, or workplace. Message me for specifics on your class.
