1. Locate enough space around. Spread feet apart approximately. Relax knees and body

2. Relax elbow and hold the hoop firmly against the back side of your waist.

6 Health Benefits of Hooping

Spine & Joint Health - Hooping is a gentle, low-impact workout that mobilizes the spine. It is the rhythmic nature of hula hooping that promotes increased segmental range of motion between your vertebrae and stimulates vertebral disc imbibitions—the process through which nutrient exchange occurs in your discs. Regular spinal mobilization is important for your spinal joint health, and activities such as hooping can help improve your posture and promote increased body awareness—both of which are important in helping you avoid back injuries.

Core Strength - Your core includes your abdominals, lower back, pelvis and hip muscles. Sit-ups may target your abdominals, but misses many other core muscles. Hula hooping strengthens your entire core, which helps to stabilize your body, protect your lower back from injury, support your spine and improve your posture. Strengthening the muscles surrounding your lower spine, it’s work as a boon for those suffered from a bad back in the past.

Improves coordination and balance and makes you more agile as it activates your core, improving reflexes and reaction times.

Weight Loss - Combined with cardio activity and strength training, it burns almost 200 to 400 calories in 30 minutes; all depending on your weight, current fitness level and intensity. Maintaining a healthy weight, it helps prevent diseases like type2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack and stroke.

Releases stress - The American Council on Exercise suggests that hula hooping is fun, and it makes exercising less of a chore. To be able to do something fun and see the improvements to your body can livens your spirit and raise your confidence, keeping you motivated, physically challenged and mentally stimulated.
