How to Exercise with a Hula Hoop
Once you've purchased the right size hoop, it's time to start the fun. If you used a hoop as a kid, it might not come back quite as easily as riding a bike, but with a little practice you'll get the hang of it.
Waist
The key is to put one foot in front of the other instead of standing with your feet side-by-side. Start with the hoop against your back at your waist. Give it a gentle push to start the rotation around your waist and shift your weight back and forth between your front and back foot to keep the hula hoop moving. Don't move your hips in a circle to keep it rotating because the opposite will happen. As you shift your weight back and forth, your hips make more of a rocking motion than a circular movement. Keeping the hoop twirling around your waist is the most important of the hula hoop exercises. In fact, if you're strictly using the hula hoop for exercise and don't have a lot of time, this is the only exercise that's needed. It can be used anywhere and your waistline will really show improvement as the unwanted fat burns off the midriff and the stomach muscles tighten.
Arms
To use the hula hoop to tone muscles in the arms, extend your arm to the side and roll the hoop around your arm in a circular motion. The idea is to keep the hoop moving around your arm. This exertion works to firm and melt body fat.
Hips
Stand in a standard position, but instead of spinning the hoop around your waist, work it around your hips. However, the standard around-the-waist position will help you lose off your hips, too.
Have Fun while burning calories!!!
Using a Hoopnotica hoop is a little different than the classic hula hoops you may remember as a child. These Adult hoops weigh around 1 pounds and because of the heavier weight, they rotate around the body more slowly, so even if you struggled to keep your hoop rotating as a kid, it should be easier with this heavier, larger version. At least that's what the manufacturers have to say; according to them, there are no worries about a lack of rhythm or being clumsy.
