Dieting not only makes you suffer from hunger but can also lead to malnutrition or even the paradoxical situation of gaining weight while trying to lose it. Besides adhering to a balanced diet, frequently hula hooping can accelerate the burning of abdominal fat, which is highly beneficial.

Don't underestimate shaking the hula hoop; calculated per kilogram per hour, it can burn approximately 5 calories. Taking a 50-kilogram woman as an example, in one hour, she can burn 50*5=250 calories. Isn't that a great deal? Long-term persistence will surely refine you into a slender-waisted beauty, a method for slimming down your legs.

The specific method is: tighten your buttocks inward, exert force on both sides of your waist, tighten the scapular area, fully open your shoulders, let the junction between your neck and shoulders hang down, relax and avoid shrugging, slightly raise your chin. If whether sitting or standing, you long-term maintain this posture of keeping your head high, chest out, and stomach tightened, your belly will unconsciously shrink significantly, greatly improving the condition of accumulated fat in your abdomen.

If you want to lose weight, besides exercising, controlling your diet is crucial!

On average, about 0.5 kilograms can be reduced per week, shedding approximately 2 kilograms in a month!
Nutritionists point out that for women aged between 30 and 50 with low activity levels, the average daily total calorie intake is 1850 calories. If from Monday to Friday each week, you can control your daily total calorie intake between 1350 to 1400 calories, reducing 500 calories daily, on average, you can reduce about 0.5 kilograms per week, losing around 2.4 kilograms in a month.
