subject: Hula Hoops - Size Does Matter! [print this page] If you are looking for a fun and easy way to not only get into great shape but stay that way too, then you really need to try using the hula. It can really help you burn the calories in a fun way! I have personally found that it can really burn that belly fat. The great thing is that you do not even know that you are getting a great ab workout because you are just too busy having so much fun moving your hips.
I know a lot of people out there that have tried using the hula and can never seem to get it going. There are several reasons for this but the most common one is not using the correct size hula hoop. It is pretty simple really. Those small hula hoops that your kids are using are made for kids not adults and chances are you will not be able to get them going. You need a hula hoop that is made for adults. One that fits you perfectly.
How do you pick the correct size? It is easy. Stand your hula on it's side. How tall is it? It should be somewhere between your hips and chest. If it is not then it is not the correct size and it will be very hard to get it spinning.
Another thing that can make it difficult to get going is it's weight. There are many weighted hula hoops on the market. These weighted hulas make it a breeze to get it going. If it is too light you will find it more difficult to use. Weighted hoops solve this problem entirely. These tips should get you up and going in no time! Remember, have fun!
