Calorie Bargain: Hoopnotic TravelHoop

The Why:  The best thing about hula hoops is that no matter what, if you’re hula-ing, you’re moving, and having fun…and that means exercise! Unfortunately, they aren’t very portable, which means hula-ing is usually home-based.  Not anymore… We wrote about their great funky hula hoops and now you can get Hoopnotic Hoopdance anywhere you go. Transport this hoop easily in your car, on your bike, in your suitcase when traveling, on the plane as a carry-on, on the metro.

The Health Bonus: Using a hula hoop is a great aerobic exercise that can burn as many as 455 calories per hour. It’s also a great low-impact workout that tones muscles, increases flexibility, improves coordination and strengthens the cardiovascular system.

What We Liked Best: It’s portable, easy to put together and fun. Oh, get this: It can be used either full size, with 6 segments, or adjusted using just 5 segments. Also, watch this video to get a few ideas and inspiration Click here.

What We Liked Least: It doesn’t come with a carrying case or straps.

The Price: $39.95, you can buy it with the DVD, but add another $10

Offerings: Available in pink and gold signature style or our teal and silver spiral style.

I never thought I was a dancer -- never had the body, coordination, or stamina for it -- but I can hoop!! It's sooo empowering! I'm so happy it's finally getting attention!

I have been a big fan of Hoopnotica for about a year now. Watching Rayna's abs gives me so much motivation! I bought the TravelHoop when it first came out, and I just throw it in my old Yoga bag. I hate Yoga; but I LOVE TO HOOP!
