Chris Freytag of Prevention Magazine joined us this morning with a fun way to exercise: hula hooping!

That's right -- the Hula Hoop is one of the hottest fitness crazes in Hollywood...Beyonce hoops, Marisa Tomei hooped getting ready for her role in the wreslter, all working the hoop to burn up calories and stay in shape.

Hooping is an energizing, fat-burning cardio and muscle-sculpting hoop dance workout that is endlessly FUN, creative and sexy! Hooping combines basic movements along with elements of dance. For many people, their last positive experience with physical acitivty was childhood ....this can bring a little fun back into exercise and burn between 400 and 600 calories an hour, all at no to low impact to your joints.

Fitness Hoops are weighted at 1.5 lbs. perfect for getting a core toning, muscle strengthening workout AND a high intensity, fat burning cardiovascular workout all in one!
