Weighted Hula Hoop - Work Your Abs!

Posted: Nov 18, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 202 |

Weighted hula hoops are different than regular hula hoops. For one they are much easier to use. I never could get the hang of using a regular hula hoop. No matter how hard I tried, it always just fell to the ground. Using a weighted hoop is so much easier, it is a load of fun and the workout that it gives my abs is unbelievable.

Let's face it exercising can get boring really quick. I am always looking for a fun way to exercise and stay in shape. Doing the same old routine everyday gets old really quick. You have to mix it up and keep it fresh in order to stay motivated. I have found a few alternative exercises that I just love to do and one of them is using a weighted hoop.

There are different sizes and different weights. Picking the correct weight for your body is simple. If you are an adult and you weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 - 160 pounds then go for a 3 pound hoop. If you are 160 - 200 pounds then go for a 4 pound hoop. If you weigh between 200 and 300 pounds then try a five pound hoop. These hoops are big so make sure that you have enough room to get it spinning and once you do you will be working and toning your whole midsection with one simple exercise. Take it easy at first. It really works your abs and you do not want to overdo it and get really sore.

A general rule of thumb is the lighter the hoop the more difficult it is to keep it going. Now that does not mean that you should go right for the heaviest one you can find. Try and find one that fits your weight and then work your way towards a lighter weighted hula hoop.
If you're looking for a great way to tone your midsection then a weighted hula hoop is exactly what you are looking for. They can help sculpt and tone even the most difficult areas.

    At first, I was very apprehensive in trying out yoga. I thought the poses would be so difficult that I might end up making a fool of myself. But when I entered my very first yoga class, the yoga instructor was very helpful, friendly and asking me a lot of questions before the class started. By the time the other students arrived, she started class with the knowledge that I am practically a beginner. Thankfully, I was not alone and there were other people who are first timers in that class.
