Diane Gunder had never even touched a hula hoop until a year and a half ago. Then, one day, Gunder saw a Facebook post from her friend Jamie Doria about hooping and decided to give it a whirl. “I saw it and said, ‘Wow, I want to do that,’”
according to the North Fork Patch. “I haven’t been able to put the hoop down since. I’m addicted. I found one of my passions in life!” For her, hooping is great for fitness as well. She explained, “It’s a great workout that strengthens the entire core and tones the whole body. When you’re moving with the hoops, it’s an intense cardio workout. You can burn up to 600 calories per hour in a low-impact workout. I’ve never felt better in my life.” She’s also got her Mom hooping now too. “My mom hoops for 40 minutes a day. She was having back problems, but now she’s able to bend and garden again.”
