Hula Hoop

Hula hoops promise fitness and fun

Have fun with skillful hip swings and a slim waist - let your hips circle, baby!

The hula swing is probably the most fun way to get (or keep) your waist in shape. Hula hoops are sometimes also called fitness hoops because they have a training effect and promote both stamina and a slim, well-trained core. They also mobilize the spine. Hula hoops also train coordination skills.

The twist that thrills everyone

Swinging the hula hoop requires a bit of practice and skill, but eventually everyone gets the hang of it. The fun starts from minute 1, because learning the right technique and developing a feel for the right spin is fun - and once you've got the swing down, it's all about increasing the duration (which of course also increases the intensity of the training, and thus the training effect becomes greater and greater)... and if you like, you can even swing two or more fitness hoops at the same time.

The hoop for adults and children is a universal fitness tool for everyone.

What the hula hoop brings you

Practicing with the hula hoop stimulates the circulation, keeps the spine flexible, strengthens and stabilizes the core muscles and promotes good body awareness. These are many great benefits that make "hooping" an attractive workout.

Continuing trend: Why are hula hoops so popular?

Hula hoops are timelessly popular - they have been a global success for decades and are still popular with young and old alike. Swinging your hips while skillfully holding the hoop up is fun - and it also has a figure-shaping and stamina-enhancing effect. A playful workout that increases fitness and doesn't actually feel like a tough workout, but rather like real fun - who wouldn't want that?

For children, there is also the aspect of playful competition, as they like to compete to see who can spin the hula hoop the longest.

The origin of the hula hoop: a look at Australia

Where does the hula hoop or "fitness hoop" actually come from? The history of this popular fitness tool has its beginnings on the other side of the globe - in Australia. Even though the word "hula" refers to a Hawaiian dance, the origin of the hula hoop lies in Down Under, where children had rattan hoops spun around their hips in physical education classes as early as the 1950s.

And so the story continues: back to the fifties

The founders of the US company Wham-O, which also made the Frisbee a big player, found out about this. They then brought the first commercial hula hoops onto the market under the trademark "Hula Hoop" - and landed a worldwide hit.

The hula hoop is a global success

Launched in 1958, the hula hoop became a best-seller - and soon an export hit. The hula hoop sold well all over the world and sparked an international trend. The hoop for children also became a hoop for adults.
