I am 53 years old and walk most days. But I have been thinking of using the hula hoop - due to the fact that you are working the area where all us women seem to accumulate our fat - in the love handle and abdomen area. The hula hoop is low impact and works the thighs, waist and hips. You will also work your arms and they will be moving to keep your balance and keep the hoop moving. Remember as a kid we could drop the hoop down to our knees and keep it going by moving our knees back and forth so - that would work your knees. I think it is a great exercise and with no impact. The only thing you would have to worry about is if you have a bad back - you would have to start out slowly. Go For It!! I think I'm going to go get one - thanks for the question - you made me decide.
