Hooping

A fitness trend that’s here to stay.

A stroke of genius -- and a “revolution” in fitness.

Give a workout hoop a large diameter so it’s easy to use, add some weight to give it momentum and challenge the body’s core muscles, and create a wavy inner surface to build muscle strength. Cover it with high-density foam padding and suddenly you have something much better than a toy -- you have a Powerhoop. Powerhoop is a fitness tool that strengthens and slims your stomach, back, waist, hips, thighs and buttocks. It’s part of a group exercise class that is so much fun it keeps members coming back to the gym. And it’s a piece of home workout equipment that won’t gather dust.

“Full-circle” training for your core muscles.

“Core muscles” are the deep muscles and connective tissue that encircle the spine and provide structural support. According to Professor Stuart McGill at the Department of Spine Biomechanics, University of Waterloo, Canada, strengthening only one side of these muscles (for example, just the abs) will destabilize the spine by pulling it out of alignment. Therefore it is important to train all of the core muscles in the front, back and sides of your body.

A 2012 breakthrough study by Dr. McGill and his colleagues confirms measurable results in both inches lost and abdominal fitness effect. These study results are to be published in peer-reviewed sports medicine journals in 2013.
