I wasn’t planning on buying a hula hoop today, but the exercise routine was so smooth and the music so sophisticated that I panic bought 10 before the video even finished. If this isn’t marketing genius, I don’t know what is.

I like it....😜

Are there any left?

I'm afraid it looks like I cleared out all the remaining stock, very sorry. I'm considering auctioning a few of them off on eBay though. Of course, minge will not be included in the auction. I'm keeping that for myself.

I used to use the rather heavy hula hoop in the gym at Northshore. Looking at my waist, probably should have used it more.

I’m a bit surprised nobody commented on the music itself in the video I posted. There is so much high quality dance and techno music available that could be used for aerobic exercise like this, yet they always seem to use the same style of electronic Thai dance music, if you can even call it that. I find it completely mind numbing.

They clearly like it for exercise classes, but to me it’s instant headache music. I’ve never understood the appeal. I’ve seen large outdoor group dance exercise classes all over Thailand, in parks and outside Big C shopping malls, and they play the same style over and over again.

I’m not even sure what the genre is called. I wouldn’t really describe it as pop music. It usually consists of a heavily sampled vocal repeating just a few words, layered over a synthetic snare beat, then some added whistles, whoops, yelps, and various electronic sound effects. The formula seems almost identical from one track to the next.

Mo Bettah!
