Try hula hooping!\u00a0 It\u2019s not just for elementary school recess anymore with everyone from celebrities to First Lady Michelle Obama giving the hula hoop a spin.<\/p>\n<p>A low impact and high energy workout, if you can hula hoop for at least 10 minutes you can increase your heart rate, burn calories and help tone your thighs, glutes and arms.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no hard fast rule on what to do during a hula hoop work out, but experts suggest mixing a side to side hooping motion with a front to back hooping motion. Any combination of moves will burn 150 to 250 calories each half hour. If you hula hoop for 30 minutes, three times a week for four weeks you can lose three to six inches all over. \u00a0If you are an expert hooper, try a weighted hoop for an additional challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Check with your doctor before using any kind of hula hoop, especially if you have a history of back problems, or before starting any new exercise regiment.<\/p>\n<p>For more health and lifestyle tips follow us on Twitter @FHMC_NYC, and like us on Facebook www.facebook.com\/FlushingHospital<\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer\">All content of this newsletter is intended for general information purposes only and is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
