we're going to talk about hula hooping and this is for all of my fabulous
subscribers because I know that you are going to love this and thank me for it
this is the funnest I know that's not a word
but I'm putting that word to this exercise because that's what it is
you smile the whole way through it it's easy and it can be done for all body
types so if you are a curvy lady if you've got a big belly if you've got
lots of belly fat if you're tall if you're short if you're fit if you're
unfit you can do this and you're going to get benefits from this and studies
have shown that you actually lose centimetres from your hips and your
waist so I'm going to show you a challenge that you can do in three
minutes everybody can do that and you can do that the benefits for you when
you start hooping is that you're going to be burning calories which is going to
help with our belly fat and not only that we're working on our posture our
core strength our glutes our thighs everything in our body is getting a
workout but it doesn't feel like it and it's low-impact so we're not jumping
we're not doing anything crazy we're just moving our body in a way that's
going to work some magic
we're going to go through different hoop sizes what's perfect for your body where
you can buy them and how you can make them okay here are our options this one
here is a weighted hoop and it's 100 centimeters so this fits just above my
belly button and that's the perfect size for me and this is a really good size to
get started with here's the thing these small hoops like this which is what our
kids would have used when their hooping these are too small to hoop you can't do
it it just you know that's probably what you experienced when you've tried hoping
before but it's because the hoop is way too small the general rule of thumb is
the more curvy you are or tall you are you need more height and you might like
to measure up to here on you so you take the measure and you measure from the
ground up to your belly button and then add a little bit okay now I'm going to
show you how to make one of these and then you can make it very big and then
cut it down as you get better and more experienced and make it smaller and all
you need to do is go to the hardware store and buy tubing like this and one
connector but buy a whole lot of connectors because make one for everyone
in your family and then you measure a circle so you take it down to the floor
you take your measurement and you measure out one hundred centimeters and
then you cut it just with a knife and then you connect this little connector
to this end and pull it in very tight and I've made this one a little bit
bigger it come there's my belly button so it's this much bigger and then you'll
find that it's much easier to do so what I recommend you do is try something
weighted at least 100 centimeters and I've also made one for everyone in the
family and we all do this together okay we're
going to do three minutes a day for the first three days and that will just get
your body used to the new movement because when you introduce a new
movement you can feel it and you're going to feel this in your core area
which is great and then from day four to day seven of the first week we're going
to do it twice a day and then from day a to day 14 we're going to do it three
times a day three minutes three times a day before breakfast lunch and dinner
and if you're like me you'll pick up the hoop during the day and I pick it up
when I've been sitting for too long and you know while I'm waiting for dinner to
cook or watching TV any of those reasons I can think of I'm hooping because it's
so much fun and building this strong core so I'm excited let me tell you a
few things we are going to have a strong solid base with our legs and the work
comes from the core so as we're hooping we're moving back and forward or side to
side okay we're not doing this it's a different movement but this is more
engaging the core and back and forth or side to side and you can put one leg in
front of the other and then move the feet back and forth and you can change
your leg move your feet back and forth and I'm going to introduce some arm
movements while we're doing the three minutes if you drop it and you will
don't worry about it your training your brain to do something new so it takes a
little bit of practice but once you get that practice you can be so proud of
yourself seeing yourself do this okay let's do a bit of practice before our
three minutes take the hoop and swing it and then move your torso back and forth
with your legs slightly apart one foot in front of the other back and forth on
your feet back and forth with your torso movement
and practice putting your arms in and out but that's not important at this
stage change the direction of your legs take them from out to in just to get
practice but for starters keep your feet in one position and get through the
three minutes and practice as you go great job are you ready
the music's fast it's going to be fun don't worry if you make a thousand
mistakes just pick the hoop up and keep going okay let's go
