nope… that’s not me!
After my health check, I took the advice of the nurse, who said although I was not overweight, I could stand to lose a few inches of my waist. My then measurement was 35″. Ideally, it should be 32″ish.
She recommended hula hooping for 10 minutes a day… Great I thought, I can’t do 10 seconds, and here she is recommending 10 minutes!!! That’s a whole lotta seconds! 600 to be precise!
So I bought the weighted hula hoop and had a go, and found that Yes! I could do it!
I said I would report back after a week, just adding the hula-ing to my day, but not changing anything else, and I’ve managed it! 5 minutes of continuous revolutions each way! That’s my 10 minutes! I can even turn 360 degrees while hooping!!
And so the dreaded measure… It stands at….
34.5″!! That’s 0.5″ down!
WOW!!!!
So now as summer approaches, my eating habits naturally change, and I tend to eat more fruits and salads, hopefully that will aid the inch loss too!!!
The only downfall… The bruising across both sides of my waist!! I am assured they will calm down and stuff, but I won’t subject you to pictures! My spare tyres, along with my trophies from child birth, aka, stretch marks, do not a pretty picture make, and I don’t want to put you off your food!!!!
But I Smile Anyway...

Well done Ritu! Fantastic half inch off your waist! Way to go! Mine is not going so well as the hoop is so big I can only do it in the garden and it has been raining the last 3 days!

Well done, I am so impressed! I am definitely going to stick with it as I am now also able to hula hoop continuously for some time without dropping it!

That sounds like fun! I could certainly use a waist-workout. Maybe I’ll look into this weighted hula hoop. Thanks for the inspiration Ritu!
