Health Benefits of Hula Hooping

Core Muscle Improvement

• Traditional hula hooping with the hoop around the waist builds strength in your core muscles: abdominals, hip and lower back muscles.

Other Muscle Sculpting

• Using hoops on your arms and legs sculpts your biceps, triceps, upper back, shoulders and thighs.

Burn Extra Calories

• Active hooping is an aerobic activity that will help you burn extra calories.

Relieve Stress

• It's hard to be grumpy while concentrating on hula hooping. It's hard not to laugh while improving hooping skills. And exercise is known to be a healthy way to relieve stress.

Sharpen Your Mind

• Learning new skills as you grow older is one of the ways to help stave off "senior moments" and the onset of Alzheimer's. Learning a new skill like hula hooping (because most of us were not all that good at it as children) or hula hooping with a dance routine is definitely a new skill.
