A Fun Way to Burn Calories

Today is a lovely near-summer day. Thinking back to when I was a girl gives me sweet memories of rollerskating all day long (OK during school holidays) , hula hooping and skipping. My girl friends and I would do that all day long, no wonder we all had such slim and strong bodies.

These thoughts made me start looking for my skipping rope. When I eventually found it in the bottom of a cupboard, it was worn out - but I did find the hula hoop I bought as an adult but had forgotten all about. I did a few rounds without much success - but after a few more goes I got the hang of it again.

My plan is to do 2 minutes hula hooping every 2nd hour of the day. It will not burn tons of calories but it will keep my metabolim working all day and that way I will burn more calories.

Hula facts: an adult female will burn approximately 450 kcal per hour .

Size does matter, don’t use a kid’s size hula hoop, an adult woman should use a 36 inch hula hoop or more:

Stand with your hoop in front of you. The general rule of thumb is that a hoop should be between stomach and nipple height, although some compensation should be made for your waist size. General rule of thumb: The bigger you are, the bigger the hoop should be. Larger hoops will rotate more slowly, making getting started easier. Smaller than that will make the hoop rotate faster, which is more challenging, but also better for doing tricks and exercizing.

Visit Jason Unbound for instructions on how to make your own hula hoop.

Find your hula hoop and jump ropes and start play - you will burn calories while playing.
