Video: Learn To Hula Hoop!
Hula Hoop Your Way to Fitness!
In the 1950s, Hula Hoops became all the rage. Today, Hooping has reemerged and is quickly becoming more popular than ever as a form of exercise and art.
Abby Albaum is the founder of Hoola Monsters, a company dedicated to the art of Hoop Dance. According to the Hoola Monsters website, Hoop dance is often described as a meditative healing art. While there's no doubt that it's great for fitness, the "rocking in a cradle" soothing sensation provided by the hoop also helps to calm the mind. In fact, it's been said that the rhythmic motions of the hoop help some people who suffer from depression. When hooping, people often describe the experience as a pleasurable one that evokes feelings of euphoria.
The physical benefits of a Hoop Dance workout include strengthening of abdominal muscles and toning of the arms, legs and thighs. It can also help burn up to 600 calories in a one hour class!
The Hoola Monsters are also a performance troupe. They entertain at various parties and events. They have also performed at Tampa Bay Rays games, and the Hoola Monsters also have some opportunities nationally coming up soon.
Hoola Monsters offer classes all over the Tampa Bay area including Tampa, St. Pete, Dunedin, and Land O' Lakes. Classes range for all skill levels, including beginners.
