How To Hula Hoop And Get A Flat Stomach!

Click here to receive your FREE Awesome Hula Hoop video course!

Hey there!

Are you desperate for a flat stomach, or how about six pack abs! ...

How to get a flat stomach? Hula Hoop of course!

Since summer is nearly upon us here in Scotland, it's time to seriously start getting rid of this annoying baby belly and there's no better way to achieve a flat stomach than by hula hooping with an adult hula hoop! (Did I mention it's also exceptionally fun, addictive and good for your brain too!)

It's not always easy obtaining a flat stomach, especially for us woman who store fat around our mid drifts as part of our genetic make up! However, hula hooping really helps to fight the flab (by burning up to 100 calories every 10 minutes!!!) and tones those abs for a lean, flat stomach!

Ok.. get to the good bit Carly!..

So the reason I'm writing this post is to share with you some awesome ways to tone your stomach for the upcoming bikini season, using only a hula hoop.

I took the time to make these tutorials to help women who are looking to lose weight, tone up and generally look and feel healthy but can't seem to stick to the gym or running or any other boring exercise methods. It's also easy to fit into your daily routine as just 10 minutes a day will make a difference. If you can do 10 minutes 2 or 3 times a day.. even better!

So here are some beginner moves that you can do to supercharge your ab workout..

The Limbo

How to do the limbo:

- Hold the hoop around your waist at an angle.

- Lean back but DON'T put strain on your back, only lean back until you feel tightness in your abdominals.

- The movement is coming from your legs, by bending your knees and springing up you will keep the hula hoop spinning

- Reach your arms up to elongate your core.

- Keep doing the limbo for as long as you can, don't worry if you keep dropping it at first, you will still be benefiting from the cardio and ab workout by practicing!

- Try and build up to 10 minutes 3 times a day.

The Bunny Hop

How to do the bunny hop:

- Lean forward, keeping your back straight (think of bending forward from your hips instead of bending your knees), keep your chin up and look forward (looking down encourages a curve in the spine).

- Engage your abdominals by 'squeezing' your abs

- Push the hula hoop around you at an angle as shown in the video and start a bouncy springy movement.

- Keep practicing, people rarely get the move on the first try! You will still be benefiting from the workout by practicing :)

- This move is amazing for toning the buttocks, thighs, abs and strengthening your back!

And Finally..

Bunny Hop To Limbo - Combining the two moves for a super fun workout (and impressive hoop dance move!)

This is just the tip of the iceberg for hula hoop fitness. There are sooooo many exercises and routines that you can practice to keep hula hooping fun and addictive! You literally work every muscle group and burn calories while smiling, laughing and having a great time!

Let me know what you think of this post? Do you already hula hoop or are you going to give it a try? Leave me a comment :)

Until next time...

How I dropped 3 dress sizes - Hula Hoop Workout

As some of you may know I hula hoop for fitness. The hula hoop workout is fun, accessibly, easy and most of all addictive!

I've been hooping for about 5 years now and in the first couple of months after discovering the hula hoop workout, the weight just fell off me. I was receiving comments all the time about how my shape had changed too.

Because hula hooping worked so well for me I decided to start my own hula hoop classes and teach other women how they could lose weight in a fun, healthy way too!

Here is a couple of video's I created teaching you how to hoop and how to workout with the hoop ..






I would recommend a hula hoop like this Hooping4Life Silver Rainbow & Black Medium (40") Weighted (625g) Exercise & Dance Hoop with instructional DVD for beginners.

Have you tried hula hooping for fitness before? Would you try it? Leave me a comment below :)

I Heart Hula Hooping!

Hi Readers,

 Today while my baby boy was sleeping I decided to try some yoga followed by some hula hooping. The yoga was actually really fun and I didn't lose motivation half way through or anything, it's definitely something I'm going to stick with!

 I decided to film a hooping video since I've not done that in aaaggess! It look me a few minutes to get into a flow with the hoop but once I did it was blissful :)





If you are interested in learning hoop dance then I have several tutorials on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/hoopworkouts is my URL!

Have you tried hooping before? If so leave me a comment below :)

With love,
Carly
