Which is better for weight loss: skipping rope or hula hoop?

Both of these have good effects. The key is to see where you want to lose weight or which one you like. Generally speaking, no matter what kind of exercise you do, as long as you can stick to it, it's good. First of all, skipping rope is mainly used to exercise the lower body and lose weight. However, from a broad perspective, it is still a whole-body exercise. Therefore, people who want to do whole-body exercise or want to lose weight in the lower body can skip rope. Moreover, skipping rope is very simple and basically beginners can learn it quickly.

In fact, the heavier the better is not necessarily true. Perhaps a heavier hula hoop may require more effort to swing at the beginning, but it will become an inertial movement afterwards. The key is to exercise long enough, otherwise the short-term intense exercise is only anaerobic exercise, which will only cause muscle soreness and will not consume excess calories. In addition, the hula hoop will hit the internal organs in the abdomen and back (such as the kidneys) when it is swung. A hula hoop that is too heavy will have a relatively greater impact force and may cause damage to the internal organs, so it is better to choose one of moderate weight!

It is not suitable for people with lumbar muscle strain or calcium deficiency because hula hooping mainly relies on the strength of the waist, which fully exercises the lumbar muscles, abdominal muscles, side lumbar muscles and other parts. Persistent exercise can achieve the effect of tightening the waist and abdomen. However, it should be noted that people with lumbar muscle strain, spinal injuries, osteoporosis and the elderly are not suitable for this exercise. In addition, before hula hooping, you should do some stretching exercises to stretch your ligaments and avoid sprains.

Hula hoops are actually very good, but their scope for weight loss is smaller. Hula hoops can mainly help exercise the waist, and can also help lose belly fat, so hula hoops are also very good weight loss equipment. Which one you choose mainly depends on where you need to lose weight and your own interests.
