Michelle Obama has taken fitness to another level in a recent event promoting healthy living.
The first lady took to the hula hoops like duck to water, showing us why hula hooping is the latest trend to help trim midriffs and tone our bodies.
Lord know I need to join her – almost seven months post-baby, I’ve still got a lot to shed around the stomach area!
Join me in hula hopping glory – for a hula that works you a bit harder than the one you find in kids’ playgrounds, there’s the Acu Hoop is a weighted exercise hoop that is the perfect tool for trimming the waistline and delivering a full body toning workout.
Simply circle your hips and start rotating, using your arms to help keep your rhythm and the hoop at waist height. After just a few rotations you will start to feel your stomach muscles tighten and your legs working. As the hoop is weighted you can even use it to do floor-based exercises such as stomach crunches.
