The benefits of hula hooping

Hula hooping is a whole-body exercise that can achieve the effect of weight loss, but the exercise time must be long enough. Because the hula hoop exercise intensity is not very strong, only by extending the exercise time and continuous exercise to reach the stage of aerobic exercise can the body's stored fat and excess calories be consumed. Benefits of hula hooping:

1. It can be used to slim the waist and is also a good helper for leg and arm fitness.

2. Squeezing acupuncture effect: gives the abdomen and waist a squeezing effect similar to massage and acupuncture.

3. Treatment of constipation: Regularly using a spring hula hoop and wrapping it around the waist can stimulate the intestines, treat constipation, and effectively eliminate the pain caused by constipation.

4. Weight loss: The centripetal force generated by the spring has an exercise effect that is 3 times heavier than the actual weight. The spring massages the waist and a large amount of limb movement when turning the hula hoop, which effectively burns body fat. It can achieve the purpose of fitness while losing weight, and you can lose weight and exercise at the same time.

Disadvantages of hula hooping

Everyone knows that hula hooping is a very good way to lose weight, but hula hooping also has its benefits. But do you know? There are also disadvantages to hula hooping. In this regard, let’s take a look at the disadvantages of hula hooping.

1. Hula hoop is a simple waist exercise with a small amount of exercise. It is not realistic to achieve weight loss effect by relying on this exercise alone. In addition, the twisting and swinging part of the hula hoop is just 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.

2. Hoop fitness should be scientific, otherwise it will be counterproductive. First of all, you should pay attention to the fact 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 within the capacity of the index finger and middle finger. People with lumbar muscle strain, spinal injuries, and osteoporosis are not suitable for this exercise.

3. Hula hooping mainly relies on the waist to exert force, fully exercising the lumbar muscles, abdominal muscles, and side lumbar muscles. Twisting the waist for a long time can easily cause or aggravate lumbar muscle strain, lumbar facet joint hyperplasia and lumbar disc herniation. People with osteoporosis will have their condition aggravated. The elderly and people with poor heart function can easily induce arrhythmia or heart failure. In addition, long-term twisting in the same direction can easily lead to intestinal torsion.
