Christabel Zamor

For a book on working out, Christabel Zamor promises hooping is fun and she wasn't kidding. The book offers many colorful pictures on what you can do with your hoop and comes with a video.

At the beginning she says, "The hoop gives everyone permission to be raucous, like they've been let out for recess."

It's so true. I don't really laugh when I'm exercising. I just watch the clock to see how long it will take for this to be over. With hooping, I was laughing. I even felt silly and young which is a great feeling when you haven't been young for a while.

For as much fun as I had, the next day I woke up feeling muscles that I didn't even know I worked out. I felt like I had been playing, rather badly because I'm not good at hooping, but just trying all the workouts gave me a good workout.

I woke thinking, "I want to do this again today," instead of the usual, "Well, I worked out yesterday so I can take today off."

This is so much fun. I recommend this to anyone who deals with stress, or is easily exhausted. You will find yourself having a good time, laughing and you won't even feel like you're working out. As for the exhaustion, even my first attempt at hooping filled me with a great deal of energy.

This is a great book to have.… (altro)
