You may feel exhausted just watching the skilled exertions of the athletes at the Winter Olympics, but that doesn't mean you should sit on the sofa.

You too can break some records or at least tone up in one of the most fun ways possible – the hula hoop.

Recall those days of the school playground and PE classes when you used to play with the fun plastic circle? Learn how to do it right for a truly enjoyable workout and even raise money while doing it.

Join Marawa the Amazing in this fun video as she shows you how to swivel that ring right!

The star of the sensational cabaret and circus act La Clique takes you through the basics of hula hooping and gives some top tips for being able to keep it going for the two minutes needed to help set a new world record at the Hula Hoops Hoopathons for Sport Relief.

You can register for a place at one of the 16 nationwide events where thousands of people will simultaneously hula hoop across different locations for two minutes to set a new hula hooping record.

The Hula Hoops Hoopathons are taking place at the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile events across the UK on Sunday 21 March.  

Find a venue near you and book a place at www.hulahoops.com and get sponsored to raise loads of cash for this fantastic cause, or simply watch the video to learn how to hula like a pro:
