Hula Hooping has been a popular activity for decades. But just recently people are learning of the health benefits of hula hoop exercises. Fun, Engaging, Simple, Hula Hooping can be a great exercise for both children and adults. Following are some health benefits of hula hooping:

Burn Fat

Hula Hoop exercises are a great fat burner. Some of the large muscles of the body are activated causing higher blood flow and increased heart rate. Because of the amount of energy used your body will burn fat to fuel those large muscles at work.

Tone and Shape

Hula Hooping works your glutes (bum), thighs, and abdominals. This area of the body can cause great embarrassment especially for women and hula hoop exercises  are a simple activity to really improve your body image. The constant motion and the "pushing-pulling" effect hula hooping has on muscles will stretch the muscles, build strength and definition, and also burns the fat around those areas to give you a great body shape.

Increase Aerobic Ability

The only way to increase your aerobic endurance is to do aerobic activities. Exercising with a hula hoop is excellent at doing this because it is simple and fun but makes your body work hard for its oxygen. Its low impact so it won’t cause injury and you can do it anytime and anywhere.

Feel Better, Look better

Hula hoping will increase your fitness and improve your body shape. This improvement has many follow-on benefits including increased learning ability, increased happiness, ability to work harder but most importantly it provides more energy for the things you enjoy in life.

So that is some of the health benefits of hula hoops. So find some time, grab a hoop and enjoy the health benefits of Hula Hooping.

    Thank you for this. Sometimes I wonder if I’m really “working out” but the sweat after an hour of hooping tells me so. I bought my 3lb hoop a year ago and I cannot believe that I haven’t grown bored of using it yet. I study videos online to learn new tricks and work different muscles.

    I went about ten times this Summer to a local beach at 8am and hooped by the water for an hour before the crowds came. The few who saw me never bothered me but trust me when I say I’m a shy person and it took a little courage. Truth be told, to exercise in public like that was liberating.
