Can you lose weight by turning a hula hoop?
Hula hoop must be familiar to all of us. This is a plaything of our childhood. Turning hula hoop is a simple and convenient exercise, which can be realized in such a narrow indoor space, and there is basically no requirement for venue equipment. Long-term adherence to hula hoop can also achieve slimming effect. So how to lose weight by hula hoop?

1, hula hoop can lose weight

Hula hoop can certainly lose weight, prolong exercise time and keep exercising, and reach the stage of aerobic exercise, which can consume the stored fat and excess calories in the body. In addition, hula hoop can also help the peristalsis of the intestine, promote the digestion of the stomach and intestines, and help the defecation to be smooth, thus effectively preventing constipation. In addition, hula hoop can also speed up the blood circulation of the body!

2. Matters needing attention when turning hula hoop

(1) Choose the appropriate hula hoop.

Generally speaking, the thicker the bond, the easier it is to shake, because the inertia is greater and the contact surface is more. But if it's too heavy and bad for your waist, just choose a normal weight.

(2) Grasp the rotating speed

When doing hula hoop exercise, it should not be too fast, which will strengthen the burden of waist muscles and risk muscle strain and acute volvulus. In fact, the hula hoop action that is too fast is not as good as the action of swinging the abdomen at a uniform speed.

(3) Pay attention to the practice time

Practicing hula hoop can make abdominal muscles smoother and firmer and promote gastrointestinal digestion, but it is not good to exercise immediately or for too long after eating. This sport is also very expensive to stick to, 20 minutes a day, the effect is still very good.

(4) Avoid menstrual period

In the middle and late period of menstruation, luteal cyst may appear around the ovary. Because the cyst is very fragile, if you squeeze the abdomen hard, it will rupture the cyst, and the accompanying internal bleeding may be fatal.

(5) Perseverance.

Only by doing exercise every day can we achieve the goal of perfect waist curve. If you turn the hula hoop for two or three hours today, but you are lazy and don't exercise tomorrow, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, no matter how good the fitness and bodybuilding exercise is, it will not be effective.
