Cori Magnotta - What Are The Benefits Of Exercising Abs With A Hula-Hoop?

There are so many benefits to exercising your abs using a hula hoop! First of all, it's fun! Cori Magnotta always say "It's impossible to not smile which hula hooping!" (Go ahead and try it, I'll wait) Now compare hula hooping to boring sit-ups. There is no comparison! Hula hooping is actually a more effective way to work your abs than doing sit-ups. Hooping for 10 minutes is the equivalent of running a 10 minute mile! Even with a standard toy hula hoop, you'll burn 7 calories per minute. Use a fitness hoop, such as the FXP Hula Hoop and that number skyrockets to a possible 800 calories per hour! These are not made up claims, they are verified by the American Exercise Council. In addition to working your abs, hula hooping is great for those with leg injuries who are unable to walk or run, but still want a full body cardio workout. Cori Magnotta have also been told by a chiropractor that hooping can be very therapeutic to those with certain back injuries. The hoop provides a massage like rhythm on the back with can be healing in some cases.
