When I was younger I participated in a hoola hooping contest at a local water park. You know I was younger in this story because it wouldn’t occur to me to hoola hoop in a bathing suit now. I try to retain some amount of dignity. Anyway, I won the contest! My prize was a stuffed Yipes Stripes gum zebra.
This weekend I hung out with some friends and I was feeling pretty good. Someone pointed out a giant hoola hoop in their living room and said its what Beard and his wife use for exercise. What?!? I was, and am, so entertained by this for two reasons:
- The image I have in my head of Beard hool hooping makes me laugh.
- You can hoola hoop for exercise? Sign me up!
I was feeling good enough that I started hoola hooping right in the middle of their party and had a good ole time.
This particular hoola hoop was weighted, which is part of why it was good for exercise. Yesterday I ran right out and bought my very own hoola hoop. And last night I did a very strenuous workout of hoola hooping for 10 minutes while watching TV. I can only image what neighbors thought if they walked past our house and could see in the front window…
