Does a hoop help you lose weight?
The answer to the question that worries many people about whether hula hoop helps to remove the stomach and sides is yes. However, it should be noted that it is important to adhere to proper nutrition, exercise regularly and monitor proper execution. Start with 2 minutes, gradually extend the time: the more, the better. The hoop helps you lose weight, but it is not always possible to use it; there are contraindications. Leave classes for later if:
- you just ate;
- you are having your period;
- there are problems with the pelvic organs (inflammation, cysts);
- you have recently had surgery;
- you have gynecological diseases;
- exercise causes pain and discomfort.
How to choose the right hoop
It's hard not to notice how popular hula hoops are now. Surely you would buy it for yourself too if you knew which one was better. By the way, hula hoop and hoop are synonymous. It just so happens that we use a tricky name for special designs.
The main representatives of the species:
A traditional (gymnastic) apparatus with a diameter of 90 cm. It has a simple design and low weight. The benefits of such iron or plastic equipment when losing weight are minimal. However, experts advise starting with it, and then trying more complicated options.
Weighted . Weighs 0.5–2 kg. It was created specifically to increase the load, actively massage the hips and waist. Some people cut and fill traditional hollow hoops themselves with sand, rice or peas. They come with different pipe thicknesses. It is more comfortable to twist a hoop with a thicker pipe.

Foldable . As a rule, it is made of lightweight plastic and folds in half or four. It is empty inside and can be made heavier. Collapsible design saves space. It is convenient to take it with you on trips, and some even find the time and opportunity to study at work.
Hoop with magnets . Additionally, it has an acupuncture effect: it increases blood circulation and metabolism.
Massage . This type has suction cups, balls or protrusions on the inside. It is considered one of the most effective: it eliminates subcutaneous fat and eliminates cellulite faster than others. Of the minuses: a hoop with spikes can leave painful bruises on the body. Therefore, such a hoop may not be suitable for beginners. And it’s best to twist it at first, wearing a sweatshirt or a special weight loss belt - it will also protect against bruises.
I found this “hybrid” - massage, folding, with magnets + it only weighs about 1 kg, i.e. beginners can try it too
