How effective is hula hoop for weight loss?

Many female friends think that hula hooping is very effective in losing weight. In fact, you are wrong. Hula hooping cannot help you lose weight. It is used to slim down the waist. It mainly exercises the lumbar muscles and abdominal muscles. The weight loss effect on other parts of the body is not very obvious. But you must pay attention to the force when hula hooping. Using too much force can easily cause lumbar muscle strain or cause muscle damage, so it is not recommended that you hula hoop excessively.

Hula hooping does not help you lose weight. However, it is best not to hula hoop for more than half an hour a day, otherwise it may cause displacement of internal organs. Some regular hula hoop packaging bags have this reminder. The part where the hula hoop twists and swings 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. Excessive twisting of the waist can easily cause lumbar muscle strain, lumbar facet joint hyperplasia, and lumbar disc herniation.

Hula hooping does not help you lose weight, and it may even cause harm over time. Hula hooping 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. Losing weight does not mean exercising just the fat parts, but requires whole body exercise to burn fat. Only by prolonging the exercise time and exercising continuously can the body fat be finally consumed. Short-term exercise is anaerobic exercise, which will only cause muscle soreness and will not burn fat.

Fitness experts believe that hula hooping is not a bad sport as a form of recreational activity. But hula hoop exercise 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 to 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. The best exercise for fat loss is aerobic exercise, and the duration should be kept at 30 to 50 minutes, such as swimming, running, cycling, etc.

From the above, the weight loss effect of hula hooping is quite obvious. I hope that female friends can pay attention after reading the content introduced in this article. Don’t try to lose weight by hula hooping. You can lose weight through exercise such as jogging or swimming, but you must exercise in moderation.
