For many Westerners, the incentive is no longer there to entice you to exert your own energy for chores when there are appliances available to do so. The Hula Washer takes advantage of a loophole, however. It presents the public with the opportunity to engage in eco-friendly practices with the benefit of becoming physically fit.
Where the old ribbed scrubbing boards were concerned, they fostered selective arm muscles and gave you blistered hands. This hula hoop concept washing machine tones your core, your abs, your hips and your legs evenly.
Sang-soon Lee 's design requires you to insert your clothing, water and laundry detergent into a small opening in the big hollow ring. The power of your own gyrating movements will enable an intense spin cycle to spruce up your wardrobe and your physique.
