Upping water intake I have heard of but the hula hoop is a new and would have never occurred to me. Let me know how works out - it sounds intriguing.

Of course, health and fitness was at the top of the list. They had a health expert who suggested one of the easiest ways to start losing weight and getting fit was to up daily water intake and do 5 -10 minutes of hula hooping every day. Well... this stuck in my mind, and later I found myself casually googling hula hoops. I happened upon a business in Melbourne (where I live) that makes hula hoops for fitness centres and circus performers around the country. When I saw that they had a black and white striped design in their range, I decided the Universe was sending me a message. ;D So I'm now waiting for my cute, custom-made, weighted, black and white striped hula hoop to arrive in the mail. :DLittle Gothic Horrorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315631250163742387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180947271838944571.post-32421637741986193092015-01-07T13:16:47.622-08:002015-01-07T13:16:47.622-08:00Yes I do stationary lunges and just go up and down...Yes I do stationary lunges and just go up and down in a lunge position with the weights - I do not do step lunges any more because my knees complain. Would you like to write a little guest blog on the breathless body ultimate calories burn??

Start with no weight and work up. I can't do them at all, really. I do the old Firm exercise with the 10" stool - lifting body weight up and down for 16 reps or so. It works the leg without putting too much strain on the knee.<br /><br />Here's my favorite DVD these days - http://www.amazon.com/Breathless-Body-Ultimate-Calorie-Burn/dp/B004ZB92G8. This really gets you going and you can make it pretty easy for beginners.<br /><br />Will ride my stationary bike tonight thanks to you!!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845248491049172675noreply@blogger.com
