Hula-hoop: massage hoop with spikes

Thin, or, as they say, aspen waist - this is the dream of most women. After all, it is often the stomach and sides that are the problem, the zone with which to struggle the most difficult. Many female representatives have long found a solution to this problem: hula-hoop or a massage hoop with spikes or magnets.

What is hula-hoop

All of us from childhood are familiar with such a sporting projectile as a hoop. Almost all the girls twisted them at the waist, arms and legs for entertainment, not even suspecting how it contributes to the formation of the body. Modern hula-hoop is an upgraded version: a wider weighted hoop with spikes, balls or other massage elements built into the inside. Due to such changes, employment with him leads to a greater strain on the muscles of the back, the press and legs. After all, in order to maintain this weight, more effort is required. This sports equipment is in great demand among women, since classes with it do not require exhausting daily training, and the results are excellent:

• weight loss;
• Bringing the muscles into tonus;
• Active "breaking" of fat deposits in the abdomen and waist;
• Strengthening the muscles of the back and legs;
• Burning calories;
• Development of flexibility.

Daily you can twist the hoop no more than 20 minutes.

Varieties

Hula-Hup needs to be selected, starting from the pursued goals and their physical preparation. The goal of working with this inventory can be either weight loss and body shaping, or body support in tone. In the first case you need a heavy hoop with spikes or balls, in the second you can do without the usual thin hoop. As for physical fitness, there are more options. First, you need to look at the weight, which ranges from 1 to 3 kg or more. Secondly, the diameter: the bigger it is, the harder and harder it is to work with the hoop. And, of course, you need to look at the height of the sides: the wider they are, the larger the area simultaneously grasps and massages the hoop with spikes. When choosing an inventory, it is important to find your own golden mean: if you take it in your hands, you do not feel gravity, then you will not be able to lose a lot with it. Conversely, an excessively heavy and wide hoop can cause more discomfort than positive results. If you put the hula-hoop in front of you, then it should be slightly above the waist.

Where to buy a hoop for lessons? It is best to do this in specialized stores, where professional consultants will help to make the right choice and tell how to properly assemble this inventory.

Secondly, the positive attitude and purposefulness are important here. Prepare morally, pick up good music, fun and rhythmic. Thirdly, do not overdo the first days of classes: heavy hoops tend to leave traces in the form of bruises.

Are there any contraindications to hula-hoop?

No matter how useful the exercises with the hoop, there are still bans related mainly to temporary phenomena:
