Hula Hooping improves balance and can burn 200 calories in just 30 minutes, while tightening your belly and narrowing your waist. It also strengthens your hips and knees. Hoopnotica offers classes and DVDs, and you can even start your own hula hoop community.
Ballet improves posture, relieves stress and tones your entire body while increasing flexibility. While you get beautiful toned legs, ballet also builds muscles which help protect the spine. Try it in the comfort of your own home with the Element: Ballet Conditioning DVD
. Mix in some yoga with your ballet by giving yollet a try.

LOVE these alternative options, they are so much more fun that your regular/boring go-to-the-gym routine. i personally love hula-hooping, but i'd really love to try Bollywood dance lessons :)
ReplyDeleteOoohhh...I'd love to take a hulahooping class! Working out at home doesn't really work for me though, I'm more motivated at the gym! But if my gym offered hula hooping, I'd be in!

ReplyDeleteYollet? Oh yes, LOVE that. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI used to work a HH like it was nothing but it's been so long I don't know if I remember how to...I wonder if it's like riding a bike?
ReplyDeleteI love these suggestions. They are unique and I like alternate exercise ideas. I'm interested in the yoga/ballet one. That would be great.
ReplyDeleteFantastic fitness ideas, darling!
ReplyDeleteMust try hula hooping!
xoxox,
CC
hula hoop not so much, but the ballet seems right up my alley!
ReplyDeletei would try all of these in a heartbeat! i need things like this to keep motivated b/c i get bored SO easily.
ReplyDeleteI love hooping! It's so much fun! I bought a hoop and a couple of the DVDs from Hoopnotica last year. It's kind of hard to do it in the winter (if you live in a place where it actually gets cold) unless you have access to an area with a lot of open space. But in the summer I love to go outside, listen to my music and just hoop for as long as I want. Plus, there are so many fun tricks to learn!
