Many women choose a hoop as a tool to bring their own figure closer to the ideal. And this is not surprising, because compared to other sports simulators, the hoop can be used almost anywhere and at any time, it does not take up much space during storage, and its use has almost no contraindications. In addition, a correctly chosen hoop has a beneficial effect not only on the curves of the figure, but also on digestion, the vestibular apparatus, and also the cardiovascular system of a person.
What are the hoops
Modern stores of sports goods offer a huge assortment of a wide variety of hoops to choose from, which differ from each other not only in their external parameters, but also in their impact on problem areas.
A regular headband made of iron or polyethylene is a real classic. The effectiveness of this simulator is much lower than that of its more advanced counterparts, but both advanced athletes and ordinary women who have finally decided to start correcting their own figure can buy and use it.
Manufacturers of collapsible hoops often equip their creations with all kinds of additional weighting attachments.
The collapsible hoop is a weight loss simulator, consisting of several elements that connect to each other. Its main advantage is its maximum compactness, and its disadvantage is frequent damage to the hoop at the joints of the sections.
A good simulator for modeling a figure is a slimming massage hoop, the inner side of which is equipped with all kinds of massage parts in the form of balls, spikes and ribbed inserts. These additional elements knead the abdominal area well, massage the thigh area perfectly, increase skin tone, significantly improve blood circulation, and also contribute to the disappearance of cellulite.
The use of a massage hoop not only helps burn excess calories, but also has a very beneficial effect on the functioning of internal organs, especially the digestive ones.
The flexible hoop can both function as a weight loss simulator and play the role of a tool for performing all kinds of exercises to strengthen various muscles in the body. The weight of such a sports instrument is usually 2 to 3 kg.
A very original invention is a hoop with a calorie calculator, the design of which is equipped with a small counter showing information about the number of turns and the calories spent on them.
Choosing a hoop: tips and tricks
Choose the weight of the hoop in accordance with your own body composition and your physical fitness. So, for a child, it is better to choose a simulator whose weight does not exceed one kilogram. For those who are just beginning to learn such an interesting sports instrument as a hoop, models weighing 1-1.5 kg are best suited. If you have excellent physical fitness and already have experience with light hoops, feel free to choose a simulator weighing from 1.5 to 2 kg. Heavy hoops weighing from 2 to 3 kg can be safely bought by men and women who regularly go in for sports and have experience in training with heavy massage hoops.
When choosing a hoop, the goal that you pursue when purchasing this sports trainer is also of great importance. If you just want to strengthen your abdominal muscles, choose a lightweight metal or plastic hoop without additional attachments. If your goal is to get rid of extra centimeters in the waist and make the skin in the abdomen more elastic, choose a weighted or massage hoop.
