Weighted Hula Hoop Australia Workout for Beginners

The Side to Side Stretch

If your looking for a way to warm up and stretch out your muscles then the side-to-side stretch with your weighted hula hoop is a great option. Before any workout you should always stretch, this can even be done while you watch TV.

To do the side-to-side stretch simply hold your weighted hula hoop in the air in front of you. Next, gently move the hoop from side to side, loosening & stretching your muscles.

Forward stance 

This is a well-known hula hoop pose and is great for building better balance and strength. Simply hula hoop as usual but place one foot in front of the other.

This may be a little difficult at first but after a little practice, you will be able to hoop with either foot in front of the other.

Wide Stance 

Similar to the forward stance, this exercise involves hooping with your feet slightly shoulder-length apart. This pose activates unique muscles within the glutes and hamstrings, helping to build flexibility and power.

Hooping with arms

To hula with your arm is very simple, place your arm in the air with the hoop through the middle. Begin twisting and turning your arm to twirl the hoop. This is an awesome exercise for toning the arm and burning away fat.

You can perform this exercise with each individual arm, or place both arms in the hoop to work them at the same time.

Leg hooping

This exercise involves spinning the weighted hula hoop around your leg. To do this simply place the hoop on your ankle, keep your feet apart and start a circular motion to spin. You will have to slightly lift your leg out to give you space for the hoop to spin.

This is a great exercise to build coordination, improve balance and burn fat on the legs and thighs! Repeat this on each leg for about 10 minutes for a great workout

Squats 

This is a more advanced exercise but it's well worth it. Twirl the hoop around your waist, next slowly begin to squat down, then back up. As you squat downward you will need to maintain the motion of the hoop, keeping it stable and spinning.

Just like traditional squats, this exercise helps to strengthen the glutes, hamstrings, and legs. While the hoop-spinning motion activates the core muscles.

SELECTING THE RIGHT SIZE WAIST TRAINER

When choosing the perfect size of a waist trainer, it is best to start with a larger size that fits you then train your waist down to smaller ones. Never select a size that you prefer instead of ones that actually fit. There is no point in getting a waist training corset that does not fit at all. If you force yourself wearing a tight hourglass trainer, you might end up causing harm than good. Plus, it would feel very uncomfortable, forcing you to get rid of it instead. It is always best to listen to your body when you are waist training.

MEASURING YOUR WAIST

Find the top of your hip bone, Find the bottom of your ribs, Place a tape measure in between these two areas and wrap it around your waist. It is best to use a cloth measuring tape as it can move around your body easier and more conveniently compared to a hard measure tool. When measuring your waist, make sure that it is not too loose or too tight.

Size Waist (cm) Centre Front (cm) Centre Back (cm)
S 65-72 32 27
M 72-78 32 27
L 78-84 34 29.5
XL 84-90 34 29.5
XXL 90-96 34 29.5
3XL 96-102 34 29.5
4XL 102-108 34 29.5

 

In case you do not have a flexible measuring tool available, you can also place a string around your waist. Use the string to wrap around your waist and then mark the string. Then, place the string against the hard measuring tool to know the exact size of your waist.
