Weighted fitness hula-hoop

This hula-hoop is no child’s toy; using this hoop will help tone tums, bums and even bingo wings. As it’s weighted, it adds greater resistance to strengthen and tone abs quickly and efficiently.

Try to aim to use the hoop for 10 minutes a day to start. Studies have shown working out with a hula-hoop is comparable to benefits you would get from step aerobics or kickboxing, and half an hour of hooping can burn as many as 210 calories. These are great fun and easy to use while watching TV, so get your hula on!
