Comparing Exercise Hoops

hoop Roy Wallack, author of "Run for Life: The Anti-Aging, Anti-Injury, Super-Fitness Plan to Keep You Running to 100," took five hoops and reviewed them for The Los Angeles Times: Hoopalicious Storm Hooper, the Hoopnotica Fitness TravelHoop, the BodyHoops Infinity Travelhoop, the Canyon Weighted Hula Hoop, and the Original Hula Hoop by Wham-O. What did Wallack think? He found the Wham-o hoop to be "not as fun as the adult hoops, too much work, and the noise gets irritating fast." We couldn't agree more. What else did he have to say?

  Track of the Week


cosmic cowboysAli Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté

Our two tracks for the week start off with Cosmic Cowboys and their new release "One Last Whisper." We're especially loving the Hiro Remix which is why we've added it to the Hoop Sounds iPod below. Check it out and other mixes and download yours on iTunes by clicking:

Cosmic Cowboys - One Last Whisper EP - One Last Whisper

Next we cool things down with a track for some dreamier hooping. The track is called "Ruby" from the new release from Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté of Mali. We think you're going to like it. Give it a listen on the iPod and get your copy on iTunes by clicking:
