Somebody tell the silly Trix rabbit that hula hoops aren’t just for kids. Maybe he’ll stop hopping after cereal and start hooping instead. It might come as a surprise to some of you, but it’s actually legal for anyone, at any age, to hula hoop. Oh wait, I almost forgot, it was banned in Japan because “rotating hip action” seemed indecent (according to About.com). Okay, so it's actually permissible in most of the world.

And why wouldn’t you want to hula hoop? Not only is it fun, but it’s good for you! It’s a way to exercise and trim inches off your waist. You could start a whole new workout routine inspired by “kid toys,” using hula hoops, trampolines, and Dance Dance Revolution (not all at the same time). You can find hula hoops on Next Day. They come in bright colors – perfect for springtime outdoor workouts!

And to make your day extra exciting, here’s a fun fact you can share with anyone: The world record for the largest Hula Hoop spun was 51.5 feet in circumference (according to About.com). Can you imagine spinning a hula hoop that large around your body? Me neither.
