Abstract

The present invention aims to provide portability and ease of storage and mobility by allowing housing when a hula-hoop is not in use and connection in a circular form by withdrawing when in use, so as to be utilized for exercise and play. The hula-hoop comprises: a main body capable of being divided into a plurality of parts having a circular cross-sectional shape and a two-dimensional arc shape; a plurality of middle bodies which are housed in and withdrawn from one side of the main body; and an end body housed or withdrawn by being coupled to the last middle body from among the middle bodies and which connects to the other side of the main body, wherein the main body, the middle bodies, and the end body are constituted so as to be housed and withdrawn in multi-steps as in the form of an antenna or a fishing rod.
