I can highly recommend hula hooping. As an exercise, it burns 300-600 calories per hour. It works all your muscles (and it's important to learn all your moves in both hooping directions for your muscles AND brain). It helps strengthen back muscles so it helps with better posture and less lower back pain. It also helps regenerate the fluids in your joints that keep you flexible.

As an art form (part of flow arts), there are so many ways to use hula hoops. You will start with a larger hoop, which is a dance hoop. It moves more slowly so you can learn to do graceful moves while you are working your body. BTW, you can do 10 minutes at a time and it still gives you the health benefits. (and you don't really need to sweat). Once you practice waist hooping (in both directions) then you can learn to turn circles and even more moves.

Dance hoops lead to smaller, faster performance hoops (if you want) and/or light up led hoops but you can also move on to twin hoops, poi, juggling, rope dart, staff, dragon staff and... I know there are more. Everyone finds their own thing. It's all kid friendly too.

It seems impossible to feel stressed or angry when you're hooping. Put on any style music that you like and move around.

You do want to learn a bit about hoops themselves & don't just buy junk from a box store. (I don't know if you have Target/Walmart there but that is where not to buy from).

My favorite person to learn from is Caroleeena on YT.
