Kassel - In line with the start of 2021, many have decided to live healthier and do more sport.
The
Corona
-
pandemic
and the current
lockdown
make translating the good intentions, however, difficult.
In Germany all fitness studios have closed and clubs had to completely stop sports.
If you still
want to do
sport
,
all you have to
do is run or do the home workout.
However, the icy temperatures and rainy weather mean that
jogging
is not the first choice for many.
But home workouts can also become boring and monotonous after a few weeks.
Many
social media users
probably thought this too
, because during the second
lockdown
a new home workout trend developed - the use of a
hula hoop

Hula hoop training: This is where the trend in the current corona lockdown comes from
Many people
still
know the
hula hoop ring
from their childhood, now this hoop should also ensure the loss of Christmas pounds.
But how does the new trend work?
A hula hoop is made of
plastic
or
wood
and is circled around your own body.
Usually the
hoop is moved
with the swing of the hips, but movement with legs, arms or even the neck is also possible.
The hula hoop was invented in the
USA
in the late 1950s
.
The name was made up of the Hawaiian term "hula" (dance) and the English term "hoop" (tire).
According to sports experts, anyone
who integrates the hula hoop into their
training
routine can quickly see success.
The workout ensures the burning of calories and at the same time stimulates the
cardiovascular system
.
Anyone who invests 20-30 minutes a day in the hula hoop will work out a slim
waist
and a tight
stomach
.
But the
legs
and
bottom
are also trained by the workout.

Beginners should make sure that the tire is not too light and variable in size.
When it stands upright on the edge, it should reach approximately to the navel, i.e. have a diameter of about 1 meter.
It should be about 2.5 centimeters thick and weigh between 800 grams and a maximum of 1.2 kilograms.
