I have just hula hooped for 15 minutes and have a few questions

[FrannyandZooey]

How long till I have abs of steel?

Does it count if you have to pick the hoop up every 6 seconds?

Will the neighbours be shocked? (I did it in the bedroom with the curtains drawn)

Will I be in total agony tomorrow morning and unable to roll over in bed?

Has anyone else tried it and does it actually work?

[moondog]

lol
Can think of easier ways.
May do wonders for your sex life though???
All that writhing.

[Saggarmakersbottomknocker]

I can't do it - am rubbish.

moondog - did you manage your extra 1k?

[FrannyandZooey]

Yes it looks completely filthy when you get it right

What are the easier ways then moondog?

[waterfalls]

I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO GET A HULA HOOP MYSELF (Whoops sorry about caps) is'nt it supposed to be very good for toning your whole middle section?

[FrannyandZooey]

well apparently but it doesn't work, waterfalls

[moondog]

Gym?
Aerobics?
Saggars,am psyching myself up to do it tomorrow.
I really need to venture outside though.
Worried,as I bet it's harder in the great outdoors.

I went to a step class last night for the first time ever.
Am fairly fit but surprised how it stretched me.i can understand what they mean now about varying routines.

[FrannyandZooey]

How is paying a membership fee, getting a babysitter and going to the gym easier than hula hopping in my bedroom for 15 mins?

[moondog]

Fair enough.
It's my social life though,and escape from the children.
I think an aerobics class is fun.

[harpsichordcarrier]

were you in the nude??

[FrannyandZooey]

HC, I have told you before, I am only answering questions like that after you have rung my 0898 number and given your credit card details

[Saggarmakersbottomknocker]

Easier outside moondog - running not naked hula-hooping

Yes - a cless gets to those 'hidden' muscles!

[harpsichordcarrier]

[moondog]

Easier you say???!!
That has cheered me up!
How so exactly??

[Saggarmakersbottomknocker]

I find you can vary your pace easier on the tough bits. When I'm struggling I set myself markers, next bridge, the bus stop etc. And it's less boring. But you do get the teenage boy comments and the lorries tooting at you

[moondog]

What do the teenage boys say?
And what do you say back??

[Mercy]

Franny, get yourself a skipping rope. You can skip indoors or out - it's really good exercise.

[FrannyandZooey]

Mercy, maybe...I have a dodgy foot which doesn't respond terribly well to impact.

Whenever I put on weight it's round my middle and I have been promised a hula hoop will sort that out :)
