Weighted Hula Hoop Australia Workout for Beginners

Forward stance
This is a well-known hula pose and is great for building better balance and strength. Simply hula as usual but place one 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.

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 YOUR WAIST TRAINER SIZE
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 waist 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.

When measuring your waist, make sure that it is not too loose or too tight.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU PICK THE WRONG SIZE?
Selecting and wearing the wrong size can cause several issues both short and long term.
