subject: Hula Hoops - A Great Alternative Exercise [print this page] Hula hoops are a great alternative exercise that can really help tone your abs and burn the belly fat. You will find that they provide many benefits and can help you get into great shape. They can improve your stamina and flexibility as well. Let's face it, exercise can get old and boring and that is the number one reason that most people stop exercising.They simply get bored. When you lose your motivation you lose your morale and it can be very easy to gain weight. You have to keep it exciting!
I have found the hoop to be a refreshing alternative to other exercises, like crunches and boring old sit-ups. It is loads of fun and makes me feel like a kid again. If you have back problems then the Hula hoop is not for you. It is also not recommended if you are pregnant, but if you are looking for a fun and easy way to stay in great shape then you should definitely get yourself a hoop. You will be quite surprised at how much of a workout you can get by simply spinning the hoop round and round.
Don't know how to use a hula hoop? Chances are you just did not have the correct one. Once you find the correct hula for your body type it becomes very simple. Those small hula hoops that kids use are not designed for adults, they are designed for kids. Believe me it makes a huge difference! If are tired of those boring old exercises then you should really think about hooping.
