Most people who have to juggle a busy schedule say that, once work is over, there are simply not enough hours left in a day to both exercise, and take care of household chores.

However, thanks to this innovative washing machine, it is very well possible for your average Joe and Jane to combine physical exercise with the painstaking task of doing the laundry.

The idea is quite simple: you place the laundry (mostly socks and other small-sized clothing items) inside the hula hoop, you add some detergent and water and carefully seal them shut.

You then proceed to doing the hula, and the laundry will take care of itself while you deal with your daily fitness routine.

From an environmental standpoint, the idea is noteworthy, to say the least: there is no need for electricity and water consumption is cut down to a minimum.

However, one cannot help but wonder just how clean the laundry will be once it comes out of this innovative man-powered washing machine.
