As we enter our 40s and experience perimenopause, our bodies begin to change. One of the most frustrating shifts is how stubborn belly fat becomes — it appears easily, stays longer, and feels almost impossible to lose.
But don’t worry. It’s not impossible, and you don’t need harsh, high-impact workouts to fight it.
Why Hooping Helps Perimenopausal Bodies
Weighted hula hooping is surprisingly powerful because it works with your body, not against it.
🔥 Boosts Metabolism
Our metabolic rate naturally slows with age. Hooping raises your heart rate in a gentle, consistent way that helps your body burn calories more efficiently.
🔥 Reduces Cortisol
Stress hormones spike during perimenopause. This makes belly fat harder to lose. Hooping is rhythmic, fun, and calming — helping bring down cortisol naturally.
🔥 Activates Deep Core Muscles
Every rotation engages your abs, obliques, and deep stabilising muscles that support your waistline and lower back — the very muscles many women lose strength in after 40.
🔥 Gentle on Joints
Your body may feel different now — tighter hips, stiffer knees, slower recovery. Hooping is low-impact, fluid, and joint-friendly, making it perfect for daily movement without pain.
The Perfect Daily Self-Care Ritual
Just 5–10 minutes a day can help trim your waistline, strengthen your body, and lift your mood. More importantly, it gives you a moment for yourself — a reminder that feeling strong, healthy, and youthful is still very possible.
Perimenopause doesn’t mean slowing down.
With the right workout, it can be the start of a stronger, more confident you.
