Ok so i was wondering if hula hooping everyday for 30mins to an hour with a heavy hula hoop (its filled with water:D:D:D and its pretty challenging for a heavy hula hoop considering I’m really good 
) And a 30 minute jog every 2-3 day would help me get into shape and lose some belly fat? (i got maybe 1-3 pounds , im not really sure how much)
Also averagly how long do you thinik it would take me or how well do you think it would work if i just hula hooped everyday for 30mins to an hour?? (cause i might not have time to jog , with all my homework)
Thanks in advance!!!:D
P.s. i’m looking for pointers/advice and i don’t want to use a diet pill or anything like that cause i’m not 18 yet and my parents WOULD NOT let me :s
Also in the first paragraph i meant to say 1-3 inches INSTEAD of pounds XD
sorry
I’ve been hooping for about five years now and am in the best shape of my life! But hooping isn’t my only exercise–I also roller blade, ride a kayak and do yoga.
In the winter time, I hoop when we’re watching movies at night–at least 1/2 an hour a day. That seems to be enough to keep my waist down. You would probably do better hooping to good music, as you’ll rock harder and move faster (burning more calories).
How long it would take to get into better shape? Give yourself three to six months to notice any big changes. When I started doing yoga every morning it took about six months before I really noticed a difference in my body tone. Six months may seem like a long time, but the results were really worth it. No matter what you choose, what is most important is that you stick with it!
I wish you luck!
Some people say you burn around 600 calories and others say it doesn’t work. So does it work? And if it does how many calories. And i’m not sure if it’s working for me cause my heart doesn’t pound but i have a lot of bruises and sometimes i sweat alittle.
I’ve been hula hooping for a while now and i havent really lost anything after 2 pounds.
hooping only works for weight loss if you control your food intake too. All these claims about it shaving inches off your waist usually involves you cutting down on calories and going at it for a while. Its great for whittling your waist and it does work most of the body muscles. I have heard estimates of between 400-600 calories an hour. This depends what you are doing, if you’re just at the stage of spinning it round your waist you’ll burn less than if you can do a lot of moves and "dance" with the hoop. There’s lots of ways to up the calorie burn, you can start by just step touching whilst hooping and work up from there. Or even just hoop faster, try moving your hips as fast as you possibly can to raise your heart rate. To increase the workout you can buy or make a heavy weighted hoop, I just bought my second hoop which weighs 2kg so I hope to be whittling that waist away lol.
ETA: First poster is actually wrong. Hula hooping in the regular round the waist position also works the legs and butt. If you do round the butt hooping that works on your butt more. You can also do hooping round the arms to tone your arms, or if you’re not good enough yet just do arm exercises whilst hooping. Hooping works most of the major muscle groups, including all of the core muscles, some of which are very hard to work with other forms of exercise.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is launching The Best of Us Challenge, a global competition in which individuals compete against their peers and Olympic athletes such as Rafael Nadal, Lindsey Jacobellis and Lolo Jones in offbeat challenges such as hula-hooping, cartwheels and juggling.
As you know, kids arent as active as they used to be. In a big effort to encourage youth to find interest in sports again, the IOC is launching this challenge to offer a once in a lifetime opportunity for kids to compete against some of the most iconic athletic figures of this generation. And yes, the videos are as hilarious and quirky as they sound.
Our Grand Prize winners will receive a trip for two to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver for four days and three nights, and a chance for bragging rights to beating an Olympic athlete at something.

Your weight comes into the equation too.
You have done so well losing 23lbs, so go slowly, don’t get discouraged and don’t jeopardise your success so far.
