Health Benefits of Hula Hooping
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.

tried Hula Hooping once
Funny this has actual health benefits when my daughter an I do it for fun all the time.
I do that every morning
Hula is a simple exercise and fun. But the benefits are very large
anything that gets people to exercise is good.
I would rather be fat than do hula
Hooping is a good exercise and it is also used in dance. But you define very well about “Health Benefits of Hula Hooping” in article.
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.
Very nice article. Hula hooping is certainly a good and enjoyable way of exercise. It will not only makes enjoy but it will help you to become fit and healthy. Yes, its a good calorie burner esp. those in the belly sides. Certainly, this kind of activity is more clicked to teens since its easy and fun. Another alternative is using a rebounder or a mini trampoline. Same as the hula hoop, all you need to do is jump and jump over and over again. It will not only make you enjoy but also gain the benefits of a healthy and fit body. It is a a good calorie burner just like the Hula hoop and it can improve your lymphatic system and boost your immune system.
wow I had never even thought of hula hooping as exercise. Although I have known for a long time that jump rope is great for exercise (I read that Katy Perry does it), but I have never been able to stick with it long enough to find out.
Ive started to hula hoop, and can not wait for the benefits to begin
.. Katy Perry hula hoops and look at her! She is amazing looking.
When I hula hoop I get a pain in my stomach and sides. Is this normal ? And why is it happeneing ? Im using a big weighted hula hoop is this is the cause of my problem ?
Hi Josephine, it’s normal to feel some pain in the beginning because you are using muscles you don’t normally exercise that much. The pain should go away after a couple of weeks though…
Very, very helpful, I have a large weighted hula hoop, I will be trying your moves later today:)
I’m hooked on my hoola hoop. After 2 weeks of being consistent every day for 20 minutes .. I started noticing results… I feel better and I can definitely see my body shape improving. I was so excited by my results that I purchased (2) hula hoola hoops for friends.
So just wondering!!!? i just bought a weighted Hula Hoop and i did 30 min work out=) felt Great… later in the day a little sore but this evening. i have bruises! is this alright””””’
Adults laugh when i say i have bought a Hula hoop. I have gained some weight around my middle, and want to do something about it. I am shy and not keen on Gyms, i just want to be healthier and slimmer, and doing something about it is better than doing nothing. I love hooping, and it does work! I have just ordered my weighted hoop and can’t wait to start strengthening and transforming my body.
i want to try it but i dont know how hehe’
What weight hula hoop is best to start with?
