Get Ya Hoop On
I read recently that school children in Middlesborough have been taking part in a new exercise called ‘Hoop Hip’. This involves spinning hula hoops around parts of your body to hip hop music.
When I was at school, exercise was compulsory netball. Hula hoops were considered silly fashion things and were definitely not found in the sports locker. We had a theme tune though – a sadistic growl courtesy of the PE teacher: “Defend! Mark her! Not her, her! Move. Your. Back. Side. Noooow!”
