Milo has long been synonymous with sports and an active and healthy lifestyle. The hula hoop challenge is the brand’s latest initiative to make getting active fun for kids. Milo has introduced 10 fun hula hoop moves in three easy steps via demo videos on its Facebook page, for kids to try, namely; ‘Ants in my pants’, ‘The spinner’, ‘The chicken wing’, ‘Tornado’, ‘The hooping looper’, ‘The hula-copter’, ‘Marching band’, ‘The soccer juggle’, ‘The carousel’, and ‘The windmill’.
