Lose Stomach Fat With Hula Hoops

8/22/2009

Do you want to lose stomach fat? But are you tired of the same old ways everyone's telling you? Then try a hula hoop! It's fun, and if you are consistent with using it, you will definitely see results!

Hula hoops now come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They're also designed better, with curved indentations in the inner ring, so that it clings to your waist with less effort.

Your first attempt probably will feel a little awkward, but if you keep with it, you'll soon start getting the timing and body placement right.

The key is to put one foot in front of the other instead of standing with your feet side-by-side. Start with the hoop against your back at your waist. Start the rotation with a gentle push around your waist -- and shift your weight back and forth between your front and back foot to keep the hula hoop moving.

Keeping the hoop twirling around your waist is important. Do it to your favorite music. Get a bunch of friends and have a hooping party. But again, keep using it. If you do, your waistline will really show improvement as the unwanted fat burns off the midriff and stomach muscles tighten.

Here's a fun video to show you how.

As for how long to use it, as with everything, listen to your body. If you ever feel like you're overdoing it, especially in the beginning, put it aside and use it again toward the end of your workout.

So have a blast as you get fit!
