KARE 11 in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, let viewers know that hoops are not just for kids. Chris Freytag reports, “Hooping can burn around 100 calories in ten minutes. ten minutes in the morning, 10 minutes in the evening; not too hard! Hula hooping is also great for low impact exercise, you can do it at home and it’s just plain fun. I have a client who had foot surgery and was worried about not being able to do any cardio exercise, she had a boot on her foot and could stand up but couldn’t power walk, bike, etc. So I sent her home with a weighted hula hoop and she was able to get her heart rate up without using her foot. Now that’s getting creative!” An event is being held at the Mall of America. Full story with video: KARE 11
