Spinning a weighted hoop is a great core workout and burns up to 100 calories every 10 minutes.

To complete this How-To you will need:

An oversize, 3-pound weighted hoop
Exercise clothing
An 8 sq. ft. space
Your favorite music (optional)
An exercise mat (optional)

Warning: Always consult a physician before attempting to do any exercise or exercise plan.

Step 1: Warm up

Warm up for your workout by marching in place for three minutes. Then spin the hoop around your waist for three to five minutes.

Step 2: Do leg lifts

Stand with your feet at shoulder width and stand the hoop on the floor to your left, holding it on top with your left hand. Extend and raise your right leg outward with your right arm overhead while rolling the hoop away from you.

Tip: Play your favorite tunes to stay motivated.

Step 3: Drive the bus

Hold the hoop in front of you like you're driving a bus. Extend and raise your right leg to the side while turning the hoop to the right. Lift your left leg to the left side while turning the hoop to the left.

Step 4: Work your calves

Stand with your feet at shoulder width with the hoop in front like a steering wheel. Turn your body to the left and extend your right arm across to touch the left side of the hoop while rising up on the toe of your right foot.

Step 5: Do hoop crunches

Lie face-up on the mat with your legs at a 90-degree angle. With the hoop in your left hand, place it above you horizontally and rest your feet on the lower part of it. Lift your shoulder blades while lowering your legs to a few inches above the floor.

Step 6: Cool down and stretch

March in place for three minutes to cool down, and stretch.

@myehsayshello FOR your info Bitch! I'm 135 pounds and happily married! Go ahead and look at my pic who knows what you look like you don't have anything on your page!

@jessesgirl760 Girls like you make other girls kill themselves. She's not fat. You probably don't even know what fat is. You are probably one of those 100 lbs small ass girls who drink slim fast. Get over yourself, really. Girls who are like you are gonna end up in a bad relationship, in a trailer park, FAT, unhappy, or all of the above. You are not better than anyone, especially because you are judging so badly. Get a life.
