Circus Fitness

Posted By: Stacy Rhea on 02/02/2011

The latest craze in fitness may prepare you for a job with the circus. Hoop Dancing, created by Christabel Zamor, M.A. is touted as the “hottest form of fun fitness.”

Can you really get a workout with a Hula Hoop?
I suppose, but you’d have to get through the Mid-Eastern music and hoop-not-ic voice describing the hoop moves such as:

Slinky
Booty Blitz
Spunk
Revolving Door
Electric Slide
Pin -up

The Hoop Dance video I watched was filmed in Maui. After viewing the exotically dressed gals, a lightbulb went of in my head: Wouldn’t it be fun to hold a class at FT, but the participants must buy an outfit, much like this one, shown in the video.

Seriously ladies, you can get a decent workout with a variety of exercises, even a hula hoop, but I think the attire would be distracting ...

I have the hoop, let me know if you want to give the “hottest form of fun fitness” a try.

I think I'll pass on this one, Stacy. I love the Electric Slide but only when I've got a glass of wine in my hand!

I bought a weighted hoop during the holidays...it has been fun to relearn hooping again, thanks to my daughter's patience. I love it. A class would be great in Gates MIlls. I feel very confident hooping at the waist- not sure about the shoulder moves in the picture.
