Attention!

This post is dedicated to all the ladies who would like to take care of their  figure, but still do not know which sport  they should choose.

Summer is just around the corner, and you have not shed extra kilos? You know that you should take care of yourself, but still you lacks the motivation and you make excuses?

Remember -  taking exercises regularly not only improves our health and physical fitness, but also has a positive effect on our mood. Unfortunately, despite all of these benefits, many people prefer rather passive lifestyle, saying that sport is not for them. However, it is possible to select exercises that are entertaining, relaxing and have many health benefits.

The Ideal sport that has all of these advantages is  … attention ... Hula Hoop! Exactly! The same  funny toy, which probably you turned when you were a little girl. I also had a hula hoop then and I think it was a great fun. Honestly, recently I  forgot about its existence. Just a while ago, however, I decided to go back to doing sport that will improve my mood  and figure. Looking in the mirror, I started to wonder, where my waistline has gone? Immediately I remembered about this wonderful inventionJ.  I began to browse through websites in search of information, where I could buy it. I was surprised when it turned out that the hula hoop, which once I had fun, now looks differently ... a big, heavy, and in addition with some strange massage balls! 

Well, small and light circle in reality is not hula hoop. There’s some information about it:

•           Above all, hula-hoop  will slim your belly and shape waistline. The first effects are already visible after two weeks of regular training with the circle.

•           The other big advantage of the hula hoop is improvement of posture of practicing. Long turning of the circle requires an upright posture, that’s why exercise improves posture and strengthen the spine. Moreover, it models buttocks.

•           You can turn the hula hoop both at home during watching TV or listening to music as well as outdoors. Break the boredom of training!

-           If you connect hula hoop turning with an appropriately balanced diet, the effects will be guaranteed. 

Important!

Single training should take no longer than 30 minutes - after that time, the body begins to burn fat. During each session burns about 200 calories, and the first results appear after 2 weeks of daily turning.

A good way to increase the motivation to exercise with a hula hoop, is to measure waistline before the first workout and after two weeks.

                              

Exercises to shrink the waist:

Stand with legs apart, slightly bend your knees and flex your abdomen muscles. Hold the hula hoop at waist level. Lean the rim on one side and set it in motion. Immediately move your hips, trying to keep the hula-hoop at waist level.

Search for other exercises, for example to firm thighs and buttocks up on the Internet.

Important!

 Hula hoop with massage balls can cause bruises on the abdomen and back, that hitting the weak muscles cause microtrauma. These areas of the body protects internal organs which are needed for the proper functioning of the body. Hitting kidneys regularly with hula hoop may have a serious impact on their condition in the future.

If you are careful  enough,  nothing is going to happen, quite the reverse, you will see the benefits from the using of the circle. I do exercise with hula hoop from about a month and I noticed satisfactory results. My waistline is back, thus I do not lose a motivation. After training I am full of power and relaxed. At the beginning it is not easy, but the important thing is not to give up! I guarantee that you will be satisfied. In case of any questions, I offer my help. J

Good luck J !

Hi all!

At the beginning I want to apologize you for such a long absence of my posts. Today I can say that I came here a little changed and happier. I explain now what is on my mind. The Lent ended, it was the perfect time to go on a spiritual "power training gym". I decided to accept a challenge. I knew that I was addicted to the sweets and I had to get rid of them as soon as possible. I ate them every day and always had something at hand. At some point, I realized how much harm they do to me and how worthless ingredients I deliver to my body. I always knew that sweets cause many diseases, but I just was not able to stop it. Some of you may think that it was an "empty" resolution, but for me it was a real challenge. I have to admit that at the beginning it was very difficult to break the habit of eating sweets. But over the time it was just getting better and today I don’t have to run to the candy shop. When my body is in need of a dose of sugar, I indulge in dates or cashew with cranberries.

Dates are sweet fruit ideal for people who suffer from digestive disorders. They perfectly balance the digestive process and take an active part in it. Moreover, they add the energy  for our fatigued body already half an hour after consumption. Dates are rich in vitamin A1. As we know, vitamin A is beneficial for our eyes and skin. They are also known for antioxidant properties. Furthermore, we can find there vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, C, K. In addition, dates contain niacin, potassium, riboflavin, magnesium, manganese, calcium.

Furthermore, it has also been proved that the dates have a beneficial effect on heart. Dates also assist in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Because they function as a tonic, that cleans the abdominal cavity of unnecessary toxins and other “contaminations”. It also contains roughage, which makes dates very filling. What's more, it protects the body from the effects of bad cholesterol. As a good source of iron, dates also help the flow of oxygen in the blood. I can recommend them to everyone - they are very healthy and tasty.

I am glad that I took the challenge. Firstly, I won the battle with a bad habit, and second, I feel better in my own body.
