Hourglass Curves
As celebs and magazines are trying to bring back the ‘90s stick thin “trend”, I’m here to tell you, it’s all about curves.
Thankfully, I know a thing or two about curves, but I’m always in search of something to help give me the shape I want. When I heard about Hourglass Waist and their weighted hula hoop, I was all in.
Aside from the fact that hula hooping is a ton of fun, the weight wasn’t too strenuous and I felt my abs kick in immediately. Hula hooping takes a lot of core work by itself, so adding the 3.5 lbs turns it into a fun workout. I also love the grey and pink colors, which you can alternate and lock in.
Spinning the Hourglass Waist weighted hula hoop for 10 minutes can burn over 100 calories! It takes me 15 min on a boring elliptical to get close to 100 calories, and it isn’t anywhere near as fun. Is it even a workout if you love doing it so much?? Oh, and you can totally take it apart and travel with it, too. Quick hotel room workouts, here I come!
There are so many perks to using the weighted hula hoop, like the obvious burning tummy fat and great cardio. It’s also great for those of us with any back or knee issues (I’m looking at you, elder millennials). With no actual impact, it’s great for joints. It even helps relax your mind and improve your posture… namaste.
I connected with Hourglass Waist because the brand is partnered with Beyond Blue Australia, a mental health organization who helps support women who suffer from anxiety.
After what I went through in 2017, my anxiety skyrocketed. I would get triggered at random times and sometimes, for no reason at all. Organizations like Beyond Blue are an incredible resource for anyone going through tough times and unable to cope.
I love being able to reduce stress and have fun at the same time while hula hooping, and it doesn’t hurt that it is an actual workout.
