I used the hoola-hoop activity on Wii Fit -- it was actually quite a work out if you kept it up! And quite fun :D

Re: Hula hooping

Thats great that you're trying to get in shape. Just an FYI though, you can not spot burn fat, as in you can't just target an area of your body and work it out to burn fat. Just because you use your hips with a hula hoop doesn't mean it is going to take fat off of your midsection only. A much better option would try to do a more intense cardio workout like running, or even jump rope if you don't want to leave the house.

Re: Hula hooping

Hooping is one of the best excersice for love handles only. It doesnt target your tummy, thighs or lower abs.

I would strongly suggest Rope Jumping instead.
