Does hula hooping help you lose weight?

When it comes to losing weight, many people rack their brains. In fact, weight loss is a topic that many people will discuss, and there is no definite answer to this topic. This is mainly because there are too many weight loss methods now. You should choose a method that is more suitable for you and not just follow the crowd. Otherwise, some methods that are not suitable for you will damage your body.

STEP 1: Back rudder style - main attack targets: upper arms, both sides of the waist and back

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your arms at 3 and 9 o'clock behind you, holding the hula hoop about 30 cm away from your body. Inhale, lift your chest and squeeze your shoulder blades as tightly as possible.

2. Rotate the hula hoop clockwise until your left hand is directly above your head and your right hand is behind your hips. Hold for 10 seconds, breathing slowly and deeply, feeling your muscles stretching.

3. Return to the starting position and rotate the hula hoop counterclockwise until your right hand is directly above your head and your left hand is behind your hips. Hold for 10 seconds, take a slow, deep breath, and then return to the initial position.

STEP 2: Bend forward - main targets: back, arms and shoulders

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, hold the hula hoop with both hands at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions respectively, and place it in front of your feet. Bend your knees and sit down with your hips, stopping about 1 meter off the ground. Use the hula hoop to support your body. Stretch your arms forward as shown in the picture and feel the stretch in your shoulders.

2. Continue to stretch your body forward until your abdomen touches your thighs, then stretch your arms forward with all your strength, feeling your spine and back slowly stretching. At the same time, breathe deeply, relax your neck, and keep your head down. Hold for 10 seconds, then slowly stand up straight.

STEP 3: Twist your waist upright - main targets: abdomen, shoulders and back

1. As in the initial position of the Rudder Pose, toes facing forward, legs shoulder-width apart, and head in line with spine.

2. Turn your body to the left and right until your chest and head are facing one side. Hold for 10 seconds and take a deep breath.

Note: After completing the warm-up exercises of pull 1-3, shake your whole body to relax your muscles before moving on to the next movement.

However, hula hooping is a form of exercise that is suitable for everyone to train, because this sport does not have too many age restrictions. It’s just that people with lumbar injuries cannot easily do this sport. Moreover, there are many kinds of movements in this sport. You should still master certain sports skills and be sure to warm up before doing this exercise.
