Many hula-hoop lovers believe that hula-hoop exercise is simple and easy, which can not only keep fit, but also lose weight. However, Fang Min, general manager of Guangxi Helen Fitness Club and a national first-class aerobics coach, believes that it is difficult to achieve slimming effect by turning hula hoop. Because hula hoop is mainly a waist exercise, the amount of exercise is not large. Only by extending the exercise time and continuing to exercise can we finally consume body fat. Otherwise, short-term exercise only belongs to anaerobic exercise, which will only make muscles ache and will not consume fat. Use immediately after meals can also cause intestinal kink.

Gou Lingyun, an attending orthopedic doctor in Liuzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guangxi, believes that hula hoop is a simple waist exercise with a small amount of exercise, so it is not realistic to achieve slimming effect only by this kind of exercise. Excessive twisting of the waist is easy to cause lumbar muscle strain, lumbar facet joint hyperplasia and lumbar disc herniation. He suggested that healthy people do some stretching exercises to stretch ligaments to avoid sprains before turning hula hoops. Dr. Gou said that it is better to jump rope and run than to turn a hula hoop for exercise.
