As I mentioned back at the end of February<\/a>, I bought a weighted hula hoop…to add to the\u00a0collection of “toys” I use to break up the day (writing is a pretty sedentary activity).\u00a0 It arrived right before we took off to the Arnold, so – needless to state – I didn’t bother breaking it out of the box.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I didn’t bother breaking it out right after we got back, either.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, I didn’t open it up until yesterday! Life was a little chaotic after we returned from Columbus, so I more-or-less forgot about the thing until the kids were out of school for Spring Break…and then I\u00a0decided to wait\u00a0until they went back, so I could be hopelessly uncoordinated in private. It’s only been…oh,\u00a0something like\u00a035 years since I last played with a hula hoop. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

But\u00a0I’m not as uncoordinated as I thought – wasn’t difficult to get it going or keep it spinning, at all.\u00a0 Damn thing is big – much larger than\u00a0the\u00a0plastic Wham-O hoops\u00a0I\u00a0used to play\u00a0with as a kid\u00a0– and it certainly\u00a0has some heft to it.\u00a0 It was\u00a0fun, though – I got a kick out of twirling the thing around for 10 – 15 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0I\u00a0got some\u00a0“hoop time” in this\u00a0morning, too – in between bouts at the keyboard.<\/p>\n

I think it’s gonna be a keeper…I certainly didn’t have any trouble working up a sweat or getting my heart rate up.<\/p>\n

It’s quite rugged and well constructed – looks like it will last for a long time, so I don’t have any hesitation about recommending the company I bought it from, Canyon Hoops<\/a>, should anyone be interested in picking one up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
