Whether you are young or old, woman or man, the hula hoop is an ideal home training device and very fashionable. But does the band really do as much for figure and fitness as we are told on social media?
Today's hula hoops are brightly colored, have different weights and require a lot of exercise. And it's also fun to keep the band running and it really does something for your fitness. Because the abs, leg and lower muscles are trained, the hula hoop actually works like a full-body workout. It also puts less strain on the knees and ankles than jogging. However, if you have hip problems, you should discuss them with your doctor beforehand.
You can burn between 400 and 500 calories per hour, depending on how intense the workout is, of course, and that's a lot. But you won't lose many pounds just by hula hooping. Pay attention to a balanced, healthy diet.
There are actually no studies that have examined the effect. That's why experts say that women who are having a baby should not start hula hooping until they have successfully completed postnatal exercises and already have good pelvic floor perception. If in doubt, you should definitely consult your doctor.
The hula hoop is certainly not a miracle weapon for health, but the fun factor is capitalized and you do something for mobility, fitness and health.
