Health Benefits of Hula Hooping
Once the staple of backyard play time and lazy gym teachers, hula hoops are not just for kids anymore. Adults are embracing them to make exercising more fun. Here are some health benefits you'll get if you seriously get into hula hooping.
Core Muscle Improvement
Traditional hula hooping with the hoop around the waist builds strength in your core muscles: abdominals, hip and lower back muscles.
Other Muscle Sculpting
Using hoops on your arms and legs sculpts your biceps, triceps, upper back, shoulders and thighs.
Burn Extra Calories
Active hooping is an aerobic activity that will help you burn extra calories.
Relieve Stress
It's hard to be grumpy while concentrating on hula hooping. It's hard not to laugh while improving hooping skills. And exercise is known to be a healthy way to relieve stress.
Sharpen Your Mind
Learning new skills as you grow older is one of the ways to help stave off "senior moments" and the onset of Alzheimer's. Learning a new skill like hula hooping (because most of us were not all that good at it as children) or hula hooping with a dance routine is definitely a new skill.
