Let\u2019s face it\u2026 Over the last year we have all seen our lives come to a grinding halt in more ways than one. Many people are spending more time at home than ever. Some folks are home working, others have become homeschool teachers and cafeteria staff, and many have found it increasingly more difficult to get the exercise they want. With gyms around the country operating at minimum capacity, a cautious hesitation to spend too much time around others, and a household to run, you may be wondering how you can find an exercise to get you going. Well, we have one idea that will get you moving and having fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a great way to exercise. <\/h2>\n

It\u2019s probably been a few years since you picked up a hula hoop and gave it a spin, but any old hoop won\u2019t do. One of the best ways to set yourself up for a successfully hula hoop journey is to make sure you are using a hoop that is the correct size for you. When holding the hoop up beside you, it should reach your waist. Your best bet is to make your own beginner hula hoop<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve got your hands on your dream hoop, the fun part gets to start. Before beginning any exercise routine, it is important to stretch your arms, legs, back, and torso. You should be able to notice a difference in your posture and positioning once you\u2019re limber and relaxed. Swing the hoop around your waist and shift your weight back and forth, building momentum as the hoop spins around you. Start slowly and give yourself plenty of space to find your rhythm and flow. As you continue to practice each day, be conscious of working yourself up to 30 minutes of active hooping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surprising perks to consider.<\/h2>\n

In the event you still are not convinced that hooping is for you, we have a few more reasons you\u2019ll join the fun soon enough. The benefits of hula hooping<\/a> cannot be debated. If you pick one up and dedicate a little time to it each day, you will quickly see a difference.<\/p>\n

\n

Burn loads of calories. <\/h3>\n

Did you know you could be burning up to 450 calories after an hour of hula hooping? With traditional gym and exercise routines, you\u2019ll be lucky to burn 300 calories per workout\u2026 That\u2019s a huge difference! Anyone trying to drop a significant amount of weight or looking for ways to get your heart rate up, hooping is the solution for you.<\/p>\n

Help alleviate back pain.<\/h3>\n

Do you suffer from back issues and pain<\/a>? If the answer is yes, you have certainly tried your fair share of options to find relief. One of the major proponents of back pain is poor posture; what starts as sore shoulders will seemingly stretch down your back before you know what happened. Hula hooping is a fantastic way to practice proper posture while strengthening your core muscles. You\u2019ll notice right away it is virtually impossible to hoop when you are slouched over! <\/p>\n

Enhance your mind and body connection.<\/h3>\n

Meditation is an exceptional way to refocus your mind, clear out negative thoughts, and spend some time in your own mind \u2013 peacefully. Some of us may struggle to find the calm through traditional meditation practices, but the combination of aerobics, mental focus, and rhythmic movements is a sure way to help quiet the outside world. Any opportunity to find a way to lower stress levels while getting your heart pumping is worth a shot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t wait \u2013 get yourself a hula hoop today!<\/h2>\n

We all have a lot to keep track of during our daily lives, and for many of us, our exercise routines are the first things to go. Juggling day-to-day tasks, running errands, paying bills, and making time to swing by the gym may not be very practical, but who needs to hassle with a gym when you can exercise right at home. Get your family involved and make it an activity everyone will enjoy. Before you know it, you\u2019ll be raving about the benefits of hooping. What is your favorite part of hula hooping?
