I've been trying to get myself fit and healthy again after a bit of summer indulging, and one of my favourite exercises is hula hooping! It's so easy to do and really fun so it doesn't feel as much of a chore as other exercises can do. You only need to do it for ten minutes a day to see big results, so it's great if you're not keen on the gym and prefer to exercise at home like me. I got my hula hoop from Amazon, they have different sizes depending on your height. I got this small one as I'm slightly on the short side.
It does take a little bit of practice but with time you can hula without even thinking about it and I often do a little session whilst watching Corrie. Weighted hula hoops are best for exercising as it offers resistance for your muscles when using them. It can also help improve your coordination, and as hula hooping requires a large range of motion for your spine, a lot of practice can increase your flexibility and therefor help in the prevention of back injuries.
I've thoroughly been enjoying hula hooping and have definitely felt an improvement in my overall fitness. When I first started I couldn't even do a minute without it falling to the floor, but now I can do the full ten minutes in one go, so I'm definitely improving.
