Exercising hula hoop is not only great fun. Turning a plastic rim is really very effective. Hula-hoop shapes the figure (regular twirling makes the belly harder, flatter and a nice waistline appears). In addition, shooting a hula hoop improves overall condition and mood.
Hula-hoopfirst of all, it will slim the belly and shape the waist nicely. The first effects (e.g. a few centimeters less in the waist) are visible after two weeks of regular training with the wheel.
The second big advantage of the hula hoop is the improvement of the exercising posture. Long spinning the wheel requires an upright posture, which is why the exercises improve posture and strengthen the spine, as well as model the buttocks. Hula-hoop training can also successfully replace the traditional warm-up before the actual training.
Hula-hoop: how much to practice to see the results?
A one-off training session should last longer than 30 minutes. Only after this time, the body begins to burn fat. During each session, about 200 calories are burned, and the first effects appear after 2 weeks of daily shooting.
A good idea to increase your motivation to do hula hoop exercises is to measure your waist circumference before your first training session and after two weeks. Depending on the shape and predisposition, the circumference may decrease by 1 to 2 centimeters.
Hula hoop exercises
Shapely Waist Exercise
You used to shoot the hula hoop in your childhood, and now would you like to go back to it? Stand on your feet, slightly bend your knees and tense your stomach. Grasp the hula hoop with your hands so that it is at waist level.
Rest the hoop on one side and set it in motion with a gentle movement of your hands. Move your hips straight away, trying to keep the hula hoop at waist level. Don't worry that it will drop after a few turns at first. A moment of persistence is enough to keep shooting even for several minutes.
But hula-hoop is not just about spinning the wheel at waist height. After you have mastered the basic "step", try spinning the wheel so that the wheel goes up (under the armpits) and down (towards the hips). After that, you can try spinning the wheel around your neck, arm, or leg.
Firming exercise for thighs and buttocks
Place the hula hoop in front of you, gently leaning against its edge. Tighten your stomach and breathe with each movement. Shift your weight onto your right leg and lift your left leg to the side to feel your thigh stretching.
Point your toes forward. Hold on for a moment and slowly lower the leg (control this movement, do not let the leg fall down). Repeat the exercise 15 times and change the leg.
Exercise for a beautiful cleavage
Stand hip-width apart, bend your knees slightly and pull in your stomach. Put your arms out in front of you at the level of your chest. Catch the hula hoop at three and nine o'clock. Squeeze the hoop tight enough to turn it into an oval shape and bend your elbows slightly. Hold this position for about 10 seconds. Then slowly loosen your grip. Repeat the exercise 10 times.
Which hula hoop should I choose?
For starters, buy a light, large hula-hoop with a wide rim, because that's the easiest way to start. Training with a light hula hoop is also not exhausting. Once you have mastered the art of spinning the wheel both ways to the point where you will be able to spin for several minutes non-stop, you can move to the next level.
You will notice better results when you start spinning the heavier wheel with massage insets. The construction of such a wheel stimulates the muscles to work more intensively. If your muscles aren't strong enough and the hula hoop is causing visible marks, you'd better use a lighter one.
If you want to exercise even more intensively, buy a small wheel - the smaller the diameter, the faster and harder you have to spin so that the wheel does not fall off.

Watch out for the dotted hula-hoop!
On the internet you can find a lot of photos of people with bruises on their stomach and back after shooting the hula-hoop. They are caused by circles with protrusions which, when hitting weak muscles, cause micro-injuries. Within these parts of the body there are internal organs necessary for the proper functioning of the body.
After one time, no he alth problems should arise, but regular bumping of the kidneys may have a serious impact on their condition in the future.
