There’s a new fitness craze that I think will go big really soon. It’s called Hoopilates and it’s a cross between hula hopping and pilates. There’s a lot of people that think it’s a gimmick, but I think it will really take off and who ever starts making instructional dvd’s to sell through infomercials will be the next fitness millionaire!
Oh wait! Someone already has. At least almost. A hoopilates instructor in New York by the name of Christabel Zamor started a dvd series called HoopGirl which gets its participants hula hooping and doing pilates to funky grooves like Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
Once thought of as a fad, Hoopilates is starting to really be taken seriously in the fitness industry through the personal success stories and testimonials of many women.
One woman in particular used Hoopilates to get into shape for her wedding dress.
Hoopilates started in city parks across the U.S. in major metropolitan areas such as New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Time Magazine has even gotten into Hoopilates and wrote a page long article on their website.
Checkout the video below of women being interviewed and exercising during a Hoopilates workout in New York:
