Hoop it Up!

Recapturing childhood fitness routines may be  a more realistic (and enjoyable) goal than waking up at dawn to plod on the treadmill. That’s what Jan Dolgin discovered when she found hula hoop training. The local personal trainer offers hula hoop fitness classes the first Tuesday of every month at Paulette’s Studio of Dance or by private appointment. “It’s such a fun workout,” Dolgin says. “You burn lots of calories — people don’t realize, [it burns] 400 to 600 calories an hour.” Participants stretch, then practice a series of hula hoop moves for their waist, arms and legs, feeling the burn of an aerobic workout while they improve their coordination. The main objective? Fun. “I always tell people the first rule of hula hooping is smiling and laughing,” Dolgin says. The studio class starts at 7:15 pm and costs $8 per person. 4853 Monroe St. Visit the Facebook page Hoop it Up!, call 419-283-1105 or email [email protected] for more information. —AO
