What are the hot fitness trends for 2012 down under in Australia for the new year? The Sunday Mail reports that one of them most definitely is hooping while giving props to the Australian hoopmakers at Coola Hoops. Beverly Hadgraft writes, “Get killer abs and obliques while strengthening your back, glutes and quads and improving your balance, coordination and flexibility. It’s a cardiovascular workout as well: 10 minutes of hooping burns more than 95 calories. Don’t go pinching the kids’ hoops, though.” It’s true, when you’re an adult you need an adult-sized hoop. The fact that they’re larger and they weigh more makes them easier to use for everyone.
