Learn to hula hoop

As a personal trainer, I recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate activity per day, outside of the things you do to support your life -- working, mowing the lawn, cleaning, running errands, etc. Weight resistance, either from added weights or bodyweight training, should be done several days a week. Walking is great exercise that can be done daily, and don't forget about flexibility during your cool down phase.

It doesn't need to be all "work" though... I advocate play as part of your exercise time. If you've spent enough time on this site, you know that I talk a lot about hula hooping. I'm a certified Hoopnotica instructor in Metro Detroit, and I lead classes in hoopdance. The certified part means that I've been through trainings that provided me with the language and techniques I use to teach students how to keep a hoop moving around their bodies. It's fun, it's effective and it's for you. Intrigued?

Here now, is a quick video that gives you the basics of waist hooping, as led by Hoopnotica's lead Master Trainer, Jacqui Becker. These skills and more are what I teach in my classes in West Bloomfield and Farmington. Check out the Classes tab for days and times!

Get thee to a hoop class

By now, you may have seen people hooping at concerts, in the park, on the Internet, in magazines and on national television, etc. Isn't it time you tried it yourself? New hoop classes are starting now in Farmington and West Bloomfield! Visit my classes page http://moxie-personal-training.blogspot.com/p/hoop-classes.html to choose your dates and hop on a fitness trend that's fun and effective! I will be happy to help you choose a hoop size that works best for you in class... who knows, eventually you may want one for yourself... hooping can be addictive :-)
