   The diet and health blog 3FatChicks, one of several online sources on the subject, explains the hoop's spinal benefits best:

    "While performing hula hooping, you make very rhythmic rocking movements forward and backward, shifting your weight along the way. This kind of movement releases the tension of the muscles surrounding the sacrum (the lower part of the back) and realigns the sacrum with the rest of the spine. As a result, blood flow to the spine improves and total flexibility of the spine is increased."
   
   

5. It improves hand-eye co-ordination and motor skills.

   Hooping in both directions engages both hemispheres of your brain while promoting muscular balance and alignment.
   
   

6. The "H" Factor. Happiness.

   Let's be honest: the amazing physical benefits are a powerful perk, but most of us fall in love with hooping because of how it makes us feel thanks to a wonderful burst of endorphins.
