I got me a custom made hula hoop today. I hula hooped for 10 min and my abs and hips were cramped and I felt like my internal organs were cramped too. But I must say I really enjoyed hula hooping. I've done some googling and apparently if you do 10 min of hooping for two weeks you could loose up to two inches of your waist. For me, it's a lot easier spinning to the right, but I'm having a hard time spinning to the left.
I can totally feel it working my abs and obliques. It sure is very promising. I know callanetics is toning and trimming my legs and hips, the weights are toning my arms and now I've got something for toning my abs. I am going to start hooping while watching my favorite TV shoes at night.
When I hoop for a workout.. I always try and do it till I feel like I'm gonna puke. Then I know I'm working it! I can only go in one direction though, I hadn't thought about trying to go the other way lol.
ReplyDeleteFast music = fast hooping!
The lady who made me the hoop told me to go in both directions for keeping balance. If you go in only one directions, you train the muscles only on one side. Going the opposite direction will train different muscle group anduse a different part of the brain as well!!! But it's a lot harder spinning in the non-dominant side of the body - which is the left side for me.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteI read something online regarding damage to your back if you over do hooping! So take it easy!
