Hula Hoop Your Way Down The Aisle

Who knew a childhood past time could be the latest fitness craze for women?!

Celebrities such as Marisa Tomei, Michelle Obama, and Liv Tyler are all fans of this retro toy-turned-waist-slimming-device. And I don't doubt for a second that it works, especially considering these ladies' fabulous physiques!

What I love is that this doesn't require a gym membership or an investment of thousands of dollars in workout machines. All you need is a good hoop from your local toy store and enough room in your living room to get your hips going! According to Celebrity Diet Doctor, "hooping strengthens your core, improves your balance and can even serve as a really good aerobic workout, adding variety to your current one."

I found this fun hula hoop workout video on Youtube.



I think a visit to Toys 'R Us this weekend is in order...
