Disadvantages of hula hoop

As we all know, hula hoop can be said to be one of the very good sports. It can not only effectively slim the waist, but also consume calories and fat in our body, playing the role and effect of weight loss. However, hula hooping also has certain disadvantages and shortcomings. So what are the disadvantages of hula hooping? How can we better avoid the disadvantages of hula hooping?

Although hula hooping is effective in reducing weight, not all people are suitable for using hula hooping as a weight loss tool. Because hula hoop is a pure waist exercise, if you don't know how to twist it, you will only hurt your spine and even rupture your blood vessels. Here I will introduce to you the disadvantages of hula hoop.

Disadvantages of hula hoop

1. Hula hoop is a pure waist exercise with small amount of exercise, so it cannot achieve the effect of slimming waist all over the body. Moreover, the twisting and swinging part of the hula hoop is just at the junction of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. When the spine is twisted excessively or the abdominal pressure increases suddenly, it is possible to cause a sudden change in pressure in the spinal canal and cause blood vessel rupture.

2. Hula hooping for fitness must be scientific, otherwise it will be counterproductive. First of all, it should be noted that the exercise time should not be too long. Generally, 15-20 minutes of continuous exercise is best for normal adults. The hula hoop should not be too heavy or too large. The weight should be about what the index finger and middle finger can bear. People with lumbar muscle strain, spinal injuries, and osteoporosis are not suitable for this exercise.

How to avoid the disadvantages of hula hooping

1. Healthy people should do some stretching exercises before hula hooping to stretch their ligaments and avoid sprains.

2. Turn the hula hoop half an hour before meals and one hour after meals.

3. Each time should be about 20 minutes, and you must persist.

4. When turning, you must turn evenly to the left and right. For example, turn left for 10 minutes first, then turn right for 10 minutes. This way, the force on both sides of the abdomen can be evenly distributed.

It is recommended to do a light abdominal massage after hula hooping to help burn fat.

Precautions for hula hooping

1. Not suitable for people with lumbar muscle strain: Turning the hula hoop mainly relies on the strength of the waist. It fully exercises the lumbar muscles, side lumbar muscles, abdominal muscles and other muscle parts. Therefore, people with lumbar muscle strain, spinal injuries and the elderly are not suitable for this exercise.

2. The heavier the hula hoop, the better: When choosing a hula hoop, people have this misunderstanding. In fact, spinning the hula hoop only requires a lot of effort at the beginning, and then it becomes an inertial movement, and it is a long-lasting movement. Therefore, for the sake of your abdominal and back organs (kidneys, etc.), it is a wise choice to choose a hula hoop that suits your body shape and weight.

3. Hula hooping can easily hurt your waist: It is not recommended for the elderly, people with poor health, and children to hula hoop. If you must, please do it under the guidance of a professional.

4. Hula hooping does not involve much exercise: because hula hooping mainly exercises the waist, the amount of exercise is not as much as the whole body. If you want to achieve the goal of losing weight, you must have enough patience and lasting exercise time, and it must be continuous and uninterrupted exercise to consume the fat and calories stored in the body. Basically, you are required to exercise 3 times a week, each time for more than half an hour.

5. Do not exercise within 1 hour before or after meals. Do not exercise with a hula hoop around your neck. Women should avoid exercise during pregnancy and menstruation.

I believe everyone has already understood the disadvantages of hula hoop. In fact, as long as you pay attention to being even when hula hooping, and it is best to exercise half an hour before and half an hour after meals, as long as you persist, you can successfully lose your belly and potbelly. However, older people and women during pregnancy and menstruation should avoid doing this exercise.
