First, hula hoop has potential safety hazards.
At present, the prices of hula hoops on the market range from 10 yuan to 50 yuan, including light basic models, heavy models filled with sand or thick pipes, and massage models with corrugated outer rings. According to the shopkeeper, hula hoop has the functions of eliminating waist and abdomen fat, reducing fat and slimming, acupuncture and massage, and treating constipation.
It is understood that this seemingly inexpensive fitness equipment actually has hidden dangers. Piles of neatly arranged hula hoops, some only wrapped in plastic film, some very simple, no outer packaging. None of these fitness circles have the qualified product marks stipulated in People's Republic of China (PRC) Product Quality Law, such as Chinese factory name, Chinese factory address, telephone number and license number. Improper use of fitness equipment is easy to cause damage, but the hula hoop sold has no basic tips such as instructions and precautions; The main materials of hula hoop are not clearly marked on the product, so it is impossible to find out whether it is toxic or harmful.
In contrast, online sellers are more "professional" and superior in style, technology content, material application and efficacy. Volcanic magnetic therapy, pulley ball massage and other technologies have upgraded the simple hula hoop. The use of materials highlights environmental protection and green, and professional terms such as PP, PE, PVC and ABS go into battle. Terms such as "export to European and American markets" and "export to domestic sales" all show "international norms".
Second, hula hoop weight loss precautions
Q: The heavier the hula hoop, the better the effect?
A: The heavier the hula hoop, the better the effect. The point is to exercise longer.
In fact, the hula hoop is not necessarily as heavy as possible. Perhaps the heavy hula hoop needs a lot of strength at first, but later it becomes an inertial movement. The key is that the exercise time must be long enough, otherwise short-term strenuous exercise only belongs to anaerobic exercise, which will only bring muscle pain and will not consume excess calories. In addition, the hula hoop will hit the internal organs (such as kidneys) in the abdomen and back when shaking, and the hula hoop that is too heavy will hit the internal organs relatively, which may lead to the crisis of hurting the internal organs, so choose a moderate weight!
Q: How long can hula hoop exercise achieve the effect of slimming waist and losing weight?
A: Hula hoop is a continuous exercise to lose weight. You can refer to the "three three three" principle.
Shaking the hula hoop is a full-body exercise, which can achieve the effect of slimming, but the exercise time must be long enough. Because the intensity of hula-hoop shaking is not very strong, only by extending the exercise time and continuing to exercise to the stage of aerobic exercise can we consume the fat and excess calories stored in the body. How long should I shake it to achieve fitness effect? You may wish to refer to the "333" campaign promoted by the State Sports Commission. You exercise for at least 30 minutes three times a week, and your heart beats 130 times. Because the exercise intensity of shaking hula hoop is not enough, if you want to improve your heart rate, you must speed up the shaking.
Q: Is it not suitable for people with lumbar muscle strain or calcium deficiency?
A: Hula hoop is not suitable for people with lumbar muscle strain.
Because the hula hoop mainly depends on the waist shaking, the waist muscles, abdominal muscles, lateral lumbar muscles and other parts are fully exercised, and insisting on exercise can achieve the effect of tightening the waist and abdomen. However, it should be reminded that people with lumbar muscle strain, spinal injury, osteoporosis and the elderly are not suitable for this sport. In addition, before shaking the hula hoop, you should do some stretching exercises to stretch the ligaments to avoid sprains.
