Hooping.org

We were so excited when we learned that Martha Stewart was recommending that readers try hooping for a good workout, but imagine our surprise when we discovered that the all knowing perfectionist herself is missing the boat. Not only is the woman in the article using a cheap plastic kid-sized hoop, which simply will not do, but her instructions on how to hula hoop are confusing, as well as inaccurate. She writes, “Using a Hula-Hoop may seem like child’s play, but it requires coordination, drawing on all the dynamic muscles of your core, particularly ones you don’t regularly use. Stand with your feet firmly on the ground and the Hula-Hoop around your waist. With the hoop up against your back and your hands holding on to the sides, throw the hoop to the right and catch it with your hips, rotating your hips to keep the hoop circling high around your waist. Aim to keep the hoop going for about three minutes. And have fun!” Martha, Martha, Martha. We expect more from you.
