So I know that massaging cellulite helps break it down but what about a weighted hula hoop vs that post baby tummy? Would that have a similar effect? Has anyone had any experience with this or long term weighted hula hooping in general?
Skin brushing (for example:
http://healingtools.tripod.com/skinbrush.html or
http://www.naturalhealthtechniques.com/healingtechniques/Dry_Brushing_Technique.htm ) is probably closer to what you want in terms of "massaging cellulite".
Hula hooping is a blast but do NOT use the weighted ones as they can do more damage on the back and organs than you initially feel. Also, it doesn’t feel good as it bangs against the muscles and/or hip bones.
Try making or buying some adult hoops. This place will have some links to making your own: http://www.hooping.org/archives/000359.html
and this place has some nice instructional videos and some decent premade hoops if you don’t want to make your own: http://www.hoopnotica.com/ .
Also, you can’t do things like this with a weighted hoop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi9cvsiZZG0 (one of my fav hoop dancing videos!!)
Having to skip out on hula hooping is one of the saddest parts of my back issues (not caused by hooping).
