Do you have a hula hoop in the attic?
Then let's go: These exercises will melt the pounds.
Sport in your own four walls is more popular than ever in times of Corona.
Whether the online course offered by the gym, a wealth of free YouTube training instructions or various fitness apps: you don't necessarily have to do outdoor sports to keep fit.
Another advantage of training at room temperature:
ice-smooth jogging paths and steep descents on skis are associated with a much higher risk of injury.
Hula Hoop promises training that is also fun.
You let a plastic or hollow tire circle around your stomach - while you watch your favorite series or listen to music.
The hula hoop, which was brought onto the market by a US toy manufacturer at the end of the 1950s, is currently experiencing a real revival.
No wonder when you look at the advantages of Hula Hoop training:
Hula Hoop training activates the core of the body, i.e. the stomach, back and waist.
These muscle groups are often weakened in those who sit heavily.
According to the American Council on Exercise, tire sport is said to burn around seven calories per minute.
That's over 200 calories in a 30-minute workout.
For comparison: if you jog for 30 minutes *, you burn around 380 calories.
A hula hoop is cheap to buy (promotional link).
You don't need a lot of space for training.
Simply create a free space in the living room by pushing all objects within a radius of two meters to the side and get started.

Hula Hoop Training: How to Build Abdominal Muscles
Place your feet hip-width apart on the floor.
Many people find it easier when they step forward.
Then place the hoop with your hands on your lower back parallel to the floor and swing it around your stomach by moving your hips evenly back and forth.
In order to effectively train your buttocks and legs as well as your abdominal and back muscles, bend your knees with a straight back during Hula Hoop training and keep swinging the hoop.
Anyone who is already a professional in hula hooping can be inventive: If you also want to exercise your arms, use dumbbells that you bring together alternately in front of your chest and above your head.
