Finally Scientific Evidence of Benefits of Hooping
To sum up the report or as they say, focus on the important bits:
The American Society of Sports Medicine has released a study stating that Hooping burns an average of "210 calories every 30 minutes", and that Hooping "is sufficient for helping control body weight and composition."
It is now official. So what are you waiting for? Hoop on and Spin yourself fit ;o)

Hooping the London Marathon
That is right… I am hoping to hoola-hoop my way to the finish line at this year's London Marathon.
I am aiming to raise money for the charity by running 26 miles (42 km) whilst rotating a hoola-hoop round my waist.
Crazy, I know... but crazy for a good reason: To raise as much money as I possibly can and hopefully contribute to a child's happiness....
I agree with the NSPCC charity: Cruelty to Children Must Stop. FULL STOP. I believe ALL children have the right to play and be happy. And that is exactly what hoola hooping itself represents; There is a good reason why the hoola hoop used to be called "the ring of confidence" and spinning the hoop is all about playing and being happy.
I am hoping to complete the Marathon in about 5 hours. Training is hard work – but, it's for a good cause ;o)
You can sponsor me through this webpage and donations will be quickly processed and passed to NSPCC:

Much love

Hoola Hooping for the NSPCC
Had a great weekend hooping for the NSPCC! Thanks to everyone who came along and supported this
fun event for a good cause - we have raised around £600 for children who desperately need it. Well done!!!
It was truly a wonderful weekend, spiced up with:
- Eye catching Performances
Hoola dance performance by children as well as special glow in the dark hoop performance - Fun Workshops
Children and adults came along and had loads of fun spinning the hoops to music - Hoola Hour
A team of brave women were spinning the hoola hoop round for a whole hour!
(I think they might be aching a bit today ;o)
Not to mention the Hoola Hooping Santa!
Kelly Brook: loves to keep fit with hoping
As she has told the Mirror UK: Make sure you enjoy what you are doing. That way you are more likely to
stick to it.
