I got my very first weighted hula hoop about three months ago. I was looking for a “fun” way to try and lose weight.  I know how frustrating and boring exercise can be. If it is not fun, then it is even harder to get motivated, and let’s face it most of the time exercising is totally boring.

I used to think that until I found my first weighted hula hoop. Now this is fun. You don’t have to go to the gym, You don’t need any expensive exercise equipment, You only use it a few minutes at a time and the results are fabulous!

If you are like me, then you might have had bad experiences with hula hoops in the past. I remember when I was a kid, I could never get them to actually work. Things are totally different today. Exercise hoops are easier. Some are covered with a soft foam that grips your body and others are covered in a decorative tape that grips your body.

Great Reasons To Use a Weighted Hula Hoop

Are you looking for a flat belly?

There are a few common “problem” areas that most of us are always struggling to tone. For me, one of those areas is my   tummy. I am a mother of two, and ever since my second child, my belly has not been what it used to be. I have tried ab exercises until my stomach ached, literally. My four pound exercise hoop works every muscle in my midsection. It is not a f at burner, but it has helped to tone my tummy.

Tone your core!

Exercise hoops work more than your abs. They work your entire core. There is no other single piece of exercise equipment on the planet that can work all of the muscles in your tummy, back, hips and legs. There are eight total muscle groups that will benefit from this one simple piece of exercise equipment.

Have FUN doing it!

For me, this is the most important part. If I am not having fun, naturally I lose interest and so will you. Using my hula hoop is so much fun that I have to actually stop myself. I don’t want to over do it. It makes me feel like a kid again and that is the secret behind this wonderful belly busting tool!

Burn tons of calories!

When I learned how many calories hula hooping burns, I could not believe it. It was one of the things that motivated me to start hooping.  With the right workout, hula hooping burns a whopping seven calories per minute. That is 420 calories per hour. That is more than step aerobics, Pilates and Power Yoga. Just to give you a comparison. Cardio kickboxing can burn up to 480 calories per hour, using a hula hoop can burn 420 calories.

Great Cardio!

Using a hula hoop is an excellent LOW IMPACT cardio workout. You can get your heart rate to 151 Beats per minute and keep it there for the whole workout.

Reduce Stress!

Using a hula hoop can really help with stress. The cardio is usually enough to burn off stress, but I have also found that using my hula hoop is very calming. You can almost hypnotize yourself watching it spin in circles.

I hope you enjoy hooping as much as I do!
