The hula hoop, child’s play?

For ten minutes of practice, you burn about 100 calories. It also allows you to work on synchronization.
Since its creation in 1958 by Americans Arthur Melin and Richard Knerr, specialists in the children’s games industry, the hoop has evolved. Exit the simple bamboo or plastic hoop marketed by the inventors of the hula hoop. The offer has diversified according to needs and demands.
