Sharon Trimbo
, 47, owner of
Spot On Fitness, can be found on Saturday mornings teaching a class at Marina Vista Park in Long Beach, California. Trimbo recently
told the Gazette Newpaper, “While hula hooping feels more like a fun dance rather than a workout, hula hooping burns up to 400 calories per hour. Also, the movement is a workout for the full body, especially helping to strengthen core muscles and improve cardio-function.” She also noted that ”the outdoor setting of the class appeals to people who are tired of ‘walking the gauntlet of cardio machines’ at the local gym. This isn’t intimidating. It’s a comfortable environment and you can dress how you want. You don’t have to go to the gym to get a great workout.” To top of the experience of taking one of Trimbo’s classes for those who might be skeptical, she guarantees her students will be able to hoop or the class is free! “Even if you couldn’t hoop as a kid — I couldn’t do it as a kid — these hoops are bigger and heavier, and before you know it you are hooping for an hour and a half,” she explains. “I really encourage people to just come out and try it.”
