Can you lose weight by shaking a hula hoop? First of all, we must consider several key points:
1. Do you burn more calories than you eat? Don't think that you will lose weight if you move! Sometimes exercise doesn't consume as much calories as you think. For example, it takes a 50 kg person half an hour to climb the mountain, but it only takes about eight minutes to eat! If you think you have exercised, but supplemented with food, I think you will lose more than you gain!
2. How long have you been exercising? How strong is the exercise intensity? Shaking the hula hoop can achieve the effect of exercise, but it must be exercised for a long time, because the exercise intensity of shaking the hula hoop is not very strong. Only by extending the exercise time and continuing to exercise can we reach the stage of aerobic exercise, thus consuming the fat and excess calories stored in the body. Many people have a blind spot in sports, thinking that they must sweat to be considered as sports. Actually, it's not. Some people have stronger heat resistance, so they may not sweat easily.
Third, the heavier the hula hoop, the better the effect? I don't think so! Maybe it takes a lot of effort to swing a heavy hula hoop at first, but then it will become an inertial movement. The key is that you must exercise for a long time, otherwise short-term strenuous exercise only belongs to anaerobic exercise, which will only bring muscle pain and will not consume excess calories for you. In addition, when the hula hoop is shaking, it will hit the abdominal and back organs (such as kidneys). Too heavy hula hoop has a greater impact and may hurt the organs! Choose a moderate weight!
Fourth, how long should it be enough? You may wish to refer to the "333" campaign promoted by the Sports Commission. You should exercise for at least 30 minutes three times a week, and your heart will beat 130 times. Because the exercise intensity of hula hoop shaking is not very strong, you must speed up the shaking if you want to improve your heart rate!
Exercise is not a day or two, and obesity is not caused by a day or two. No matter what kind of sports you are engaged in, remember to grasp a principle: "For a long time, you will breathe a little but not too much." I believe you will soon become a gentle and graceful family member!
