Nowadays, more and more people pay more and more attention to health and prevent problems before they happen. Whether it is hypertension, heart disease or diabetes, a very important preventive measure is to keep weight, so people began to play hula hoop, which was all the rage in the early 1990 s. Indeed, hula hoop is a simple and convenient indoor weight loss exercise, which can be played anytime and anywhere. Turning the hula hoop can not only help the peristalsis of the intestine, help digestion and defecation, but also help us lose weight and actively help clear the garbage in the body. So, is hula hoop suitable for patients with lumbar disc herniation?

★ Playing hula hoop is not suitable for people with lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain or calcium deficiency. 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 patients with lumbar disc herniation, 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.
