To start, stand with one foot in front of the other. You\u2019ll get best results if you rock backwards and forwards as opposed to side to side. Begin by holding the hula hoop at waist level so it is touching the center of your back, then start the hula hoop spinning with a gentle push from both hands and begin rocking from one foot to the other to keep it in the air. It\u2019s a good idea to practice rotating the hula hoop in both directions to work muscles on both sides of the body evenly.<\/p>\n
Expect a few clumsy practice sessions during the first few days and don\u2019t worry if hula hooping feels awkward at first. If you stick with it, all of a sudden, a fluid hula rhythm will click and you\u2019ll be able to go for hours. The hula hooping motion is great exercise.<\/p>\n
If the main goal is to burn calories, tighten core muscles, and get an aerobic workout, stick with the standard waist and hip-level hula hooping for the entire session. A couple days of sore leg and stomach muscles are a given for those new to exercising with a hula hoop.<\/p>\n
For variety, work out your arm and leg muscles. Videos and hula hooping classes teach fun tricks and complicated moves, but the basics are enough to keep you busy and in shape.<\/p>\n
