Rediscover Hula Hoop

Do you remember the hula hoop? This tire conquered the world in the late 1950s and has experienced a revival time and again since then. Now he has once again been integrated into a new sports concept.

 Elements of aerobics, Pilates and abs, legs and buttocks workout are combined with the hula hoop to create a workout that burns calories and is really fun.

The New Hula Hoops

The new tires you see in the gym now are a tiny bit heavier than the tires from the 1950's. They weigh 700 grams and are said to fall off less quickly, even if you don't move fast enough. This is especially important at the beginning. The first hour of training gives you some reason to smile about yourself when you realize that you are perfectly capable of letting the hula hoop rotate in one direction, but that changing direction seems almost impossible.

But that will change in the coming weeks. The hip rotation keeps all the muscles of the thighs, abdomen, lower back and buttocks constantly engaged. This trains the usual problem area sand after just a few units, the training on the hips and waist is noticeable.

Versatile Training With The Tire 

However, during a training session during so-called hooping, the hoop is not only used on the hips, but also circles around the arms or knees. It serves as a utensil for squats or for one of the other 16 exercises with the hoop.

The training not only burns around 250 calories an hour , but also noticeably improves the ability to coordinate. And the fun factor is really high once you've gotten over the first sore muscles and got the proverbial hang of it.
