<p>The present invention relates to a hula hoop comprising: a plurality of link blocks, each of which is in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped having rounded parts formed on both side edges and opposed to each other, having inclined parts slanted 3 to 5 degrees and formed on both side surfaces where the respective rounded parts terminate, and having a rectangular through hole passing through the inside thereof; a band for retaining the plurality of link blocks by passing through the through hole of each link block from one end thereof and threading the plurality of link blocks in a row; a male coupling member provided on one side of the link block which is arranged at the front of the plurality of link blocks, having a rectangular insertion groove in which the one end of the band is guided, having a plurality of threaded holes crossing the insertion groove, having a coupling hook integrally formed on one side thereof, and having a male Velcro tape attached on one surface thereof; a female coupling member provided on one side of the link block which is arranged at the rear of the plurality of link blocks, having a rectangular insertion groove in which the other end of the band is guided, having a plurality of threaded holes crossing the insertion groove, having a stepped coupling groove which is internally formed from one side thereof and in which the coupling hook is guided and engaged, and having a female Velcro tape which is attached on one surface thereof and to which the male Velcro tape is connected; and a plurality of clamping screws for fixing the ends of the band by being screwed into the threaded holes of the male and female coupling members. When a user exercises using the hula hoop according to the present invention, the user can enjoy hula hooping while the link blocks maintain a circle having a constant diameter simply by coupling the male coupling member and the female coupling member provided at the front and rear ends of the link blocks and attaching the male Velcro tape to the female Velcro tape. Therefore, the hula hoop according to the present invention has a fine appearance and a superior exercise effect compared to a conventional hula hoop rotating along a nearly elliptical path. Also, when the hula hoop according to the present invention is not used, a user can decouple the male and female coupling members and the male and female Velcro tapes in reverse order, fold the hula hoop into a zigzag or roll the hula hoop into a small circle, and then place the folded or rolled hula hoop in a storage bag. Therefore, the volume of the hula hoop can be reduced to the minimum while on outings as well as when the hula hoop is stored at home.</p> |
