Would seriously working out with a hula-hoop be considered EXERCISE? I'm trying to fight off my midlife midriff, and just can't make myself go "fast-walkin'" swinging my arms back and forth.

No photos, please! Thank you all so much!

My wife read an article in Time magazine. Now she wants a hula-hoop to exercise with. Is it worth $40? The recent article claims that some woman lost 46 pounds by exercising to a music/instructional video. My wife sent me to the nearest sporting goods store (Dunham's) to buy her a weighted hula-hoop. To my surprise, the store was asking 40 bucks! I declined to buy it and now I'm getting BAD vibes from my wife who wants to lose 50 lbs. by next summer. Can someone convince me that the price is worth it? The specific article she happened to read was under the fitness section and titled "Hoop It Up". The 25 y/o woman featured in the article states that in only 5 months, exercising 45-60 minutes at a time, she lost 46 lbs. -- doesn't say what else she did to accomplish this amazing feat. The founder and author of the California-based exercise program is Christabel Zamor, author of Hooping: A Revolutionary Fitness Program. The weighted hoops that I saw today were three-pounders and very much like these here: http://www.canyonhoops.com/?gclid=CIuQvaWkop0CFQ4MDQodZRQQ3A These cost a hefty price, too, plus $10 for shipping. Looks like I'm going to end up buying the hula-hoop from somewhere, though. I'll have to look around. Maybe even eBay. Who knows? Maybe someone else thought it was a great, fun idea but abandoned it after a week or so. lol

I'm trying to lose weight, about 35 pounds so that I weight 110 pounds, or 50 kg. I'm willing to exercise every day. I'm following a sensible diet.

I made this schedule: Sun: aerobic Mon: aerobic Tue: resistance Wed: aerobic Thur: resistance Fri: aerobic Sat: resistance & aerobic each day, I'll exercise to last 2 hours. Note: I home school, so I have lots of time. For aerobic, I plan on jump-roping and hula hooping 30 minutes each.

Weight hula-hoop exercise for about 10-20 mins. This is all done in one day. Sometimes I don't do one or two, is this a good plan? I do this for about 2-3 times a week. I want to lose about 10lbs. in 4-3 weeks. Any exercise I can add to this list, or change?
