Disadvantages of hula hooping

Now hula hooping has become a popular sport. Many people think that this sport is very interesting. Children like to hula hoop because of their interest in it. Some young people choose to hula hoop because they think it can help lose weight and slim waist. But you don’t know that hula hoop is also harmful.

Hula hooping is easy to learn and requires little space. One person can do it at home. Therefore, many people choose hula hooping to save time, effort and money. However, we need to learn more about the harm of hula hooping.

Hula hoop is a pure waist exercise with small amount of exercise, so it cannot achieve the effect of slimming waist all over the body. Moreover, the twisting and swinging part of the hula hoop is right at the junction of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. When the spine is twisted excessively or the abdominal pressure increases suddenly, it is possible to cause a sudden change in pressure in the spinal canal, leading to blood vessel rupture.

Hula hooping for fitness should be scientific, otherwise it will be counterproductive. First of all, it should be noted that the exercise time should not be too long. Generally, 15-20 minutes of continuous exercise is best for normal adults. The hula hoop should not be too heavy or too large. The weight should be about what the index finger and middle finger can bear. People with lumbar muscle strain, spinal injuries, and osteoporosis are not suitable for this exercise.

Precautions for hula hooping

1Not suitable for people with lumbar muscle strain

Turning the hula hoop mainly relies on the strength of the waist. It fully exercises the psoas muscles, side psoas muscles, abdominal muscles and other muscles. Therefore, people with lumbar muscle strain, spinal injuries and the elderly are not suitable for this exercise.

The heavier the hula hoop, the better

2 When choosing a hula hoop, people have this misunderstanding. In fact, when spinning the hula hoop, you need to spend a lot of effort to swing it out only at the beginning moment. After that, it becomes an inertial movement, and it is a long-lasting movement. Therefore, for the sake of your abdominal and back organs (kidneys, etc.), it is a wise choice to choose a hula hoop that suits your body shape and weight.
