Product Description
Product Description
That's right, what goes around comes around - the Hula-Hoop, which burst into faddom fifty years ago, is hot all over again, but this time for enormously beneficial reasons. Christabel Zamor, credited with reviving the Hula-Hoop with her "HoopGirl Workout", is leading what "Time" magazine calls 'the inventive new wave of fitness...that is catching on in health clubs across the country'. "Hooping!" brings the best of "HoopGirl" into a full-colour, fully illustrated book plus a 40-minute instructional DVD. Here's how to get started - where to find and how to use the larger, heavier 'sticky' hoops; stretches and warm-ups; and, what to wear. And then more than 50 step-by-step exercises that focus on the core (abs, back, and butt), upper body, lower body, and overall well-being. The exercises are as fun as they sound - Limbo, Booty Blitz, Float Up, and Wildwest - and each group comes with a recommended playlist of music, plus 'challenges' for going further. "Hooping!": it's not just fitness, but metamorphosis, into a renewed you, with a strong core, joyful attitude, and a glow of self-confidence.

I'm hoola hooked! Straight forward instructions from a beginners point of view. DVD gets you started with the basics. Don't be disappointed as it is difficult to do, its all about getting the knack so immediate progress is slow. Went on a hooping workshop and 2hrs later I can walk whilst hooping and twirl it around my head and all sorts of stuff i never thought I'd be able to do.This book is much the same as the workshop, I just don't think I'd have put in 2hrs practice initially. Great fun and a good laugh and I'm already seeing the desired results round my middle. Fab core workout. Can't wait for better weather so I can practice in the garden. Not sure if my light fittings will last much longer!!!

WOW! This genuinely is great fun! Completely lacks the frustration and fury of beginning a new type of programme/fitness method. You will drop the hoop, same as you fell over when you were first learing to walk, but somehow it just doesn't matter. It is addictive and before you know it you will get going. It will certainly puff you out at first - I can see why it burns so many calories!
I bought it because I think my lower back and pelvis have been stuck in some really bad posture habits, and lack flexibility. I'm trying to learn bellydance, and it struck me hooping would help loosen me up. It certainly does help and I'm sure I'm getting much more out of it than just that. I'm doing hooping now for it's own sake, not just as an accompaniment to bellydance. It has so many benefits throughout the whole body.
I'm by no means good at it yet,but I'm enjoying it enough that I keep going back to it. I see it as a fun thing to pick up, not an enemy to be conquered!

Great book. I had already used the look inside the book feature for this item so I knew what to expect. I was not disappointed. The exercises are well explained and the dvd helps as well. If you want to give hoola hooping a go then I'd recommend this book. I did a fair amount of research and feel I ended up with the best book

Surprisingly easy to use
Books describing exercises and how to do them are often a bit of a disappointment, leaving the reader either a) not motivated enough to even begin their own journey or b) confused... Read more
