London - It was hard to pinpoint the most mesmerising part of 64-year-old Grace Jones’s Jubilee performance.
Was it her honed, oiled body, her outrageous corset - or the fact she could belt out Slave To The Rhythm while keeping a hula hoop expertly aloft?
If you fancy following in Grace’s fabulous footsteps, you’ll be happy to hear hula-hooping is rocketing in popularity, with Beyonce, Michelle Obama and Liv Tyler all having been spotted using one - which is not surprising considering hula hooping tones the back, abs, arms and legs.
Gyms across the country are offering classes, toymaker Wham-O has sold more than 100 million of them, and there’s even the world’s first hip-hop hula hoop performance in London on July 15.
So if you fancy having a go at home, pick a sturdy hoop and stand up straight, feet slightly apart. Twirl the hula hoop anti-clockwise with your hands and let it go. To keep it moving, rock your body forward and back with the hoop’s rotation.
