3 hula hoop exercises to shrink belly fat
Strengthen muscles, lose weight, and boost energy levels with hoop exercises. These workouts can even be done at home and provide numerous benefits, reports Eat This, Not That!
A hula hoop helps burn calories effectively while engaging key muscles. Several top exercises reduce belly fat and tone the body.
Weighted hula hooping
Dietitian and personal fitness trainer Isaac Robertson explained that hula hoop exercises engage the abs throughout the entire workout.
If you're a beginner, choose a weighted hoop. It is easier to use and more effective than a regular one, helping you burn more calories.
This type of fitness equipment also aids in reducing waistline fat.

Standing twists
Standing twists, whether using a weighted hoop or a regular one, should be included in your workout routine.
This exercise is great for targeting the abdominal muscles.
Start by holding the hoop with both hands. With your feet stationary at shoulder-width, rotate your upper body to the right, then do the same to the left.

Hoop movements on the floor
Another exercise you can do with a hula hoop while sitting on the floor helps build a strong core. This is also one of the fastest techniques for losing belly fat.
Sit on the floor, lean back, and lift your legs. Lower your legs without letting them touch the floor, then raise them again until your body forms a V-shape.
Increase the number of repetitions and sets as your strength improves.
