5 Benefits Of Hoola-Hooping Inspired By Auto Shankar’s Samyuktha Hegde

As we all know, Samyuktha Hegde is a big believer in hoola-hooping and has inspired us to do the same. If you’re thinking of a fun workout to pursue, here’s how hoola-hooping can help you!

Burns Calories 

Creating a calorie deficit is one of the primary goals when you’re on your way to losing weight and reports that women can burn about 165 calories, and men 200 calories, during a 30-minute hooping session on an average.

Burns Fat

If you’re looking to lose inches around your waist and hips, hooping is just the type of exercise for you need. Speaking of which, if you use a weighted hula hoop then you will see better results.

Cardiovascular Exercise

Cardiovascular exercise works your lungs and helps better the flow of oxygen throughout your body. This consequently lowers your risk of heart disease while also improving cholesterol levels and brain function. Once you get into a rhythm with the hoop, your heart rate will increase and your lungs will work harder.

Balance

Hula hooping requires you to maintain posture and stability over a base of support which in turn helps you maintain and improve your balance.

Lower Body Muscle

It’s not only your core that gets a workout with hooping. Your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves will also feel the burn too, especially if you use a weighted hoop. In order to keep the front-to-back and side-to-side motion going, you need to engage your legs to help power the movement.
