Case: Middle-aged Xiao Li has a large beer belly and doesn't often like to exercise. Now, due to special circumstances, he stays at home to work and spends more time with his children. His children like to spin hula hoops, and Xiao Li tried to spin hula hoops with them. As a result, he found his waist hurt, so he went to the hospital. The doctor said it was caused by waist muscle strain, and advised against spinning hula hoops for people like him.Hula hoops, also known as spinning rings, were once popular across the country in the 1990s. It is a waist rotation exercise with moderate intensity. It is generally suitable for teenagers, people with weak waist and abdomen muscles, overweight middle-aged people, and young men with a lot of abdominal fat. However, people with waist muscle strain or spinal injuries or osteoporosis are not suitable for this exercise.

However, for overweight middle-aged friends, hula hoops can help with weight loss, and they are also easy to operate. Once skilled, they can even spin hula hoops while watching TV. Moreover, everyone knows that people with abdominal obesity have a higher risk of diabetes, so spinning hula hoops can help prevent diabetes and lose weight at the same time, which is a win-win situation.

Spinning hula hoops mainly relies on waist effort, fully exercising the waist muscles, abdominal muscles, and side waist muscles. If you persist in exercising, you can achieve the effect of tightening the waist and abdomen. However, the exercise time must be long enough. Because the intensity of spinning hula hoops is not very strong, only by extending the exercise time and continuous exercise can it reach the stage of aerobic exercise, which can consume the body's stored fat. Generally, the best time for normal adults to spin hula hoops is 15-20 minutes, twice a week.

It is important to note that before spinning hula hoops, you should first do some stretching exercises to stretch the ligaments and avoid twisting.

Exercise is not a one-day or two-day thing, and obesity is not caused in a day. Therefore, there is no need to spin a hula hoop for an hour or more at once, which will only burden your waist and is not worth it.

At the same time, in the selection of hula hoops, friends also need to pay attention. The heavier the hula hoop, the better. Some people choose thick and heavy hula hoops to exercise, thinking that they will have a good effect, which is not true.

Hula hoops will hit the internal organs (such as the kidneys) of the abdomen and back during shaking. Heavy hula hoops are easy to injure the internal organs.

In addition, although hula hoops can be divided into different parts of the body depending on the exercises of the practitioners: neck exercise, waist exercise, leg exercise, knee turning, ankle turning, hand turning and arm turning. However, for ordinary friends, it is only recommended to try waist exercise. And do not exercise within 1 hour before or after meals.
