Many of us have special memories of hula hooping as a child. Whether it was with our best friend in her driveway or by yourself in the backyard it was always a wonderful source of playful fun and sometimes a little competition. The hula hoop is a toy hoop that is twisted around the waist, limbs, or neck. They generally measure around 28 inches in diameter and approximately 40 inches for adults. Today hula hoops are made of plastic tubing.
The hula hoop is an ancient invention. The Greeks used hooping as a form of exercise. The traditional materials for hoops included willow, rattan (a flexible and strong vine), grapevines, stiff grasses and sometimes metals, such a copper and iron. Children and adults around the world have played with hoops. They have twirled, rolled and thrown them throughout history. Hooping as a toy for children was introduced in Great Britain in the 14th century. In the early 19th century, British soldiers witnessed "Hula" dancing in the islands of Hawaii. The hooping and hula dancing had some similarities because dancing uses the hoops. Thus, the name hula hooping was given to this activity.
Hula hooping for 30 minutes a day can be just as beneficial as jogging for 30 minutes. There are many benefits to hula hooping:
• Increased flexibility and strength
• Toned hips, waist and thighs
• Help to straighten your back
• Strengthen your neck, arms and leg muscles
• Weight loss
• Strengthen your heart
• Lower your blood pressure
• Helps to increase the flow of blood to your brain
As an adult I still love to hula hoop. They now sell special hoops with weights on them for exercise. You can twirl them around your neck or roll the hoop around one arm at a time. You can also twirl the hula hoop around one ankle and skip over it with the other foot. Some people even use it as a modified jump rope. Hula hooping is very easy once you get the hang of it. The key is to make sure you have the right size. Do not buy a child size one like they sell at Toys R Us. To measure properly, stand with your hoop in front of you. The general rule of thumb is that a hoop should be between stomach and nipple height. The bigger you are the bigger the hula hoop should be. Larger hoops will rotate slower, making getting started easier. Eventually, after you get the hang of it, you can start to use smaller hoops, as these are better for exercise.
Hula Hooping does take patience. However, once you get started you will find out what a wonderful way it is to burn calories. You are sure to get a great workout and have fun too.
