Umm... how do they work, then? Last I checked, using a muscle in a repetative action causes strength increases in said muscle. And doing reps at a slower weight for longer, causes toning while doing shorter reps with a heavier weight causes bulk. So doing the action which keeps the hoop "up" and going around the waist tones the stomach and back muscles. Hand hooping above your head tones the muscles of the shoulder, arm and upper back. Chest hooping gets shoulders upper back and chest (pulls up the boobies tighter). Hip hooping tones the booty. And thigh hooping tones the quads and hamstrings as well as ankles stabalizer muscles. :-P

If you want proof... I built up muscle in my body after knee and shoulder injury through hooping. I have leg and arm muscles I never had before. Hooping rocks! hehe and well... even if it didn't tone you... it's just so much fun! And a great spiritual release.
