" Are you getting bored with your old fitness routine? Well get ready to wiggle the jiggle away with hula hooping! According to the American Council on Exercise, hooping is not only fun, but it makes for an awesome workout! (Hoop-enthusiasts burn approximately 420 calories per hour of hip swaying! Uhm, that&amp;#039;s comparable to your average &amp;quot;kick-your-butt-boot-camp&amp;quot; class!) But look, all calculations aside, this is a tried and true method. Did you know that hooping was discovered in Ancient Egypt and Greece thousands of years ago? Yes, that means that it&amp;#039;s quite possible that Cleopatra herself was hula-ing grapevines back in the day! Today&amp;#039;s methods are a bit more high tech (I&amp;#039;m talking weighted and large diameter hoops), but hey, the motions are the same! And so are the results. So, what do you think, will you include a little hip swaying in your six-pack-ab routine? \u2014Kasia Krzoska, Seventeen Health intern "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
