# Hulaerobica The Return of the Hula Hoop? By Cowbag | Published 2007-03-17 | Science Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hurray-for-hoola References: [hooping.org](http://www.hooping.org) Exercise is boring. But sadly for many us who dont want a BFA (big fat arse) then its also a necessary evil. So lets all drop down on our knees, get some carpet burns and thank the exercise gods for reintroduncing grown adults to the Hula. Hula hoops are a great all round form of exercise - help weight loss, fitness, building mobility and flexibility, and even building on your balance. You can even buy a DVD to follow so you can practise in private: hulaerobica is available from Amazon. However, if you want inspiration of the hard core variety then check out New York based extrme hula dancing troupe Groove Hoops. You can check out their hula grooves at www.groovehoops.com.
