WOULD YOU RATHER WALK OR HULA HOOP?

Would you rather walk 4 to 4 1/2 miles or hula hoop for 1 hour?  At the American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting in the summer of 2011, researchers reported that in healthy women hula hooping for an hour expended about the same amount of energy as walking 4 to 4 1/2 miles.  Personally, I say both are too much for me.   My feeling is that it is better to eat healthy meals and do moderate exercise.  Good grief, I couldn't hula hoop for an hour when I was a kid in the '50s!  Learn to eat healthy foods and push back from the table a little sooner.  Yes, exercise it necessary.  I do, however, believe diet control is where we as a society are missing the mark.
