VIDEO: A Totally Different Kind of Spin Class

The hula hoop is back! Stacey Sweet checks out hoop dancing in Cedarhurst.

Fit in the Five Towns is hip! And we come full circle this week — literally. So grab a hoop and give this one a spin.

Hula hoop? Check. Dance moves? Check. And unbelievably, one of the most exhausting workouts you can ever imagine? Check. I am sore in every muscle of my body just writing this introduction about it! It is a core workout — for your core — and every other muscle you have!

And its more than just fitness — it's an art form.

We hooped at Andrew J. Parise Park in Cedarhurst, and loved every minute of it, including the stares and chuckles from passersby! It's all part of the fun with this "hip" workout.
