Many consider the hoop to be an indispensable tool for shaping a beautiful figure and slim waist. But to achieve at least a small result will only work with a competent approach to classes. It is very important to choose the right hoop and, based on this, calculate the training time.
What are the hoops?
On the shelves of sports shops there is a huge selection of various equipment, including hula hoops. The most common is a hoop made of plastic or light metal. It is hollow inside.
The next option is weighted inventory. He, in comparison with the usual, has a greater weight, ranging from 0.5 to 2 kilograms. For those women who cannot purchase a weighted hoop, the following can be recommended. Buy the simplest hula hoop and add weight to it yourself. This can be done by pouring sand or cereals inside: peas, rice. The advantage of such homemade inventory is the ability to change its weight on your own as needed.
Another version of the hoop is folding. It is ideal for those people whose area does not allow storing large-scale inventory at home. With the help of a folding hoop, you can save space, because it folds several times: two, four, six, it all depends on the design. The truth and disadvantages of such a hula hoop are. Not all of them are of high quality and some of them "fall apart" during operation. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase them in specialized stores, where there is a guarantee for inventory.
The last type of hoop is massage. It is made of special balls, which, during classes, work out problem areas: abdomen, buttocks, thighs. Such a hoop will not only help to achieve a thin waist, but also get rid of cellulite. Modern models can be equipped with a mini-computer that shows the workout time, the number of revolutions and the calories burned.
How much to do with the hoop?
It is recommended to start your workout with the lightest, ordinary hoop. The first time you need to twist it daily for 5 minutes, gradually increasing the time by 1-2 minutes, until the lesson reaches half an hour. For about 7 days, you need to train for 30 minutes, then you can either buy a heavier hoop, or make an existing one heavier. You also need to slowly add the whole hula-hoop: 300-500 grams every 7-10 days. It is not recommended to twist the hoop heavier than 2.5 kilograms, so as not to harm your health.
There is one more point worth noting. At first, bruises may appear on the body from practicing with a hoop. To avoid this trouble, you can twist the hula hoop on a tight jacket or a special neoprene belt. Over time, it is better to work out on a naked body, as this will also create an additional massage effect.
