The programme is aimed at helping participants acquire fundamental hula hooping techniques and develop core abdominal muscle strength.
Weight loss is stimulated through the spinning of the hula hoop around the energy meridian points at the waist. Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, the massaging of these points will promote energy flow, improve metabolic rate and burn away fats. These principles are backed by almost 2000 years’ of history, with proven weight loss results. Hoop Fitness’ programme fuses this traditional slimming concept with western fitness using hula hoop.
Hoop Fitness’ Beginner programme encourages weight loss in a healthy, innovative and rhythmic way, blending with active hand movements for a holistic workout.
