When we were children, many of us have practiced the hoop game, of spinning with different parts of the body. Nowadays there is an exercise that tries to do the same thing, to have fun, to put the body in motion a bit and thus take care of the silhouette. His name is Hula Hoop, and many celebrities have chosen him to take care of their silhouette, including Michelle Obama – the first lady of the United States – and Beyoncé. In what follows, we are going to tell you what the use of hula hoop is for.
What is the use of hula hoop?
First of all, the hula hoop serves to take care of the figure, because just practicing it for 30 minutes helps to burn 200 calories, at the same time that it tones the abdomen.
It is also a good job for the gluteal area and if you rotate the ring with your hands and feet, it can serve to specifically tone that part of the body.
But on the other hand, it is an exercise that serves to have fun, to release tension, to relieve stress, because when doing it to the rhythm of music and dancing, the results on a mental and emotional level are surprising.
