"Hi, I'm Dr. Robertson and I'd like to teach you to hula hoop!"

"Hoop Dreams- Physical Therapist ... turns the hula hoop into fitness fun!" was the tag line of this news scoop I came across.

Even though this reminded me very much of a recent APTA marketing effort on the subject of gardening, rest assured this is a completely independent marketing venture.

For anyone who's interested and lives near Washington Square Park in NYC, you can learn hula hoop from this recent NYU Graduate.

                                                                                                            

Which begs the question: Perhaps you do need a degree to teach hula hoop? Maybe that's why I'm no good at it!

Aside from "The hula hoop may be the best abdominizer ever invented" (whatever that means) I don't see any outrageous health claims. There is no mention of pain cures via "core strengthing", fixing subluxations, or posture, etc. I'd say this is pretty tame stuff.
