Do you fellow Baby Boomers remember the Hula-Hooping exercising craze that was especially popular in the late 1950s to the 1970s? I used to enjoy using my hula-hoops to exercise when I was a child and when I was a teenager. A lot of people used 2, 3, and sometimes 4 hula-hoops or more all at one time to twirl around the waist, limbs, neck. So much fun. Nowadays, you rarely see people hula-hooping. I used the Paint program on my computer to create this silhouetted artwork of a girl hula-hooping with two hula-hoops.
