Can I Lose Weight From Hula Hooping?

So you’re sick of your usual exercise program and want to try something a little different. You have heard that people are losing weight with the game of the moment - Wii Fit. So you ask yourself, ‘Can I lose weight from hula hooping?’.

Can I Lose Weight From Hula Hooping?

Some people have reported losing a couple of kilos while playing  the Hula Hoop Balance game on Wii Fit.

The Hoola Hoop balance game. It’s fun and doesn’t have that dry text-book feel of most of the exercises do. It feels like a game, raises your heart rate and brings back those fond Wii Tennis memories. You know, the ones before I started hating it. The object is to move your hips around in a circle and try to "catch" hoops your family members toss at you without letting the hoops you’re spinning fall. It has you rotate your hips clockwise and counterclockwise, working belly muscles in both directions. The Hoola Hoop game gets your heart racing, and it’s super easy to break a sweat in a concentrated period of time. I was wiping the bottoms of my feet off between sets and enjoying it. I’d do two or three sets of it everyday, and I could feel it. In a short period of time, I was really seeing results and dropping stomach blubber like that.

Whether or not you personally can lose weight surely depends on a number of factors, in particular, how often you play the hula hooping game. If you play on a regular basis, it looks like you can at the very least tone up a little.

I loved hula hooping when I was a child so I can’t wait to give it a go on my newly purchased Wii Fit.

    We find that Hula Hooping targets the the hips, waist and targets the mid core muscles. Apart from the fitness and slimming benefits, we focus on the aesthetic value of Hula Hooping. That is one way to make sure you keep hooping.
