Weighted Hula Hoop, Trim Hoop 3B (3 lb)/4B (4 lb) - Large, Weight Loss Fitness Sports Hoop with No Wavy Ridges (Rainbow Colors)

Okay, I bought my hula hoop 4B 14 years ago. And it is still serving me and my kids. It was a hula hoop and a swing for my kids. It is very sturdy and a great item. I had another one at that time, which was very heavy. This one is precisely the right weight. I decided to write a review after 14 years because it is the single item in my house that survived my small kids. My kids have a lot of fun using it. The hoop is very stable and strong. No pain if you use it for less than 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, I usually get tired. The hoop stability is very nice. It was easy to put it together and easy to use. Highly recommend this hoop!

I have used this product for a little over a week, and I am very pleased so far. Initially, I was unsure of whether I wanted to take a chance on this purchase, because the reviews cited some issues with the durability of the hoop, and some people had problems with it falling apart. I found it very simple to put together, and it seems to be very well-made. Mine snapped snugly together with no problems on the first attempt, and has stayed put even with daily use. I am very pleased with the quality of the product. The material of the hoop itself is thick and strong, and the padding is ample. Just as the manufacturer (and many reviews) state, the hoop did cause some tenderness of the waistline upon the first use or two (which I expected would happen when I first introduced my midsection to a 4 lb. hula hoop), but I have followed the manufacturer's instructions for the time-table of use (start out small, and increase gradually, of course), and all tenderness has subsided. I have found it easy and fun to use, even from the first day. While I've only had the hoop a short time, I cannot report any long-term effects, but can truly say that in the short-term, it seems like a good investment. It does provide a surprisingly good cardio work-out; it's a fun, refreshing way to change up your exercise routine, or just add some extra cardio. Time will tell whether it causes a drop in inches from my waistline, but it definitely gives my core a work-out!

My hula hoop arrived approximately four days before its due date. Woo Hoo! I've read plenty of the reviews and I decided to go with the one without the ridges, and I am so happy that I did this too. The weighted hula hoop looked exactly like the pictures and it was very easy to piece together. I pushed in the pieces and listened for the clicks. My hula hoop hasn't come apart and this is good. Unfortunately, I have no idea of how to take it apart. Anyhow, it took me about 30 minutes of my time to figure out how to keep this weighted hula hoop up in the air. You know what they say, right? Practice makes perfect! Well, now my hula hooping abilities in the last three days are becoming perfect. I am having so much fun with this hula hoop. I should've bought this a long long long time ago. Shame on me! I've managed to use my hula hoop in the opposite direction. This is the easiest and most fun cardio workout that I have had in awhile. Seriously! I can hula hoop fast and slow it down.(LOL) I feel certain that this weighted hula hoop will help me in trimming down my waistline. It's just too much fun to not pick it up and use on a regular basis. The only down side is that I did not listen to the folks in the reviews when they all said to pace yourselves with it the first day or two. I ended up getting very sore because I caught on very fast with the hula hoop and kept going, going, and going. Now after a day of relaxing, I am back at it again and I am no longer sore. So, definitely listen to your body and take it easy the first day or two. Use it maybe 10 to 15 minutes like everyone states. You'll get plenty more opportunities to swirl that hula hoop again. I hope to repost in two to three weeks time and give you an update on my waistline and fitness level. Thanks! ;-)

After some considerable research, I selected this because it was recommended for my height (5'10) and weight (230 lbs), plus I was apprehensive about the wavy or textured ones. I don't really care about it being weighted, figuring the movement of keeping the hoop up is enough to get some nice cardio in and further define my waist. The last time I've played with a hula hoop was about 30 years ago (now 40), and I was crazy about it then. It just seems like a fun addendum to my home workout, in which I could just watch TV or listen to music and hoop away. It is very easy to assemble (yes, like others have said, you do need to make sure the pieces lock) and the pieces fit together smoothly. I like the feel of the foam covering, thinking that it'll help make it easier going around. Though I was super eager to get going, I first read everything and checked out the included DVD. Within my first day, I got it going pretty good. By the second day, I was really enjoying it. I think it's really important to stick with the recommended time because by day 4, I was getting really into it and apparently overdid it... Big bruises on my hips, tenderness on my tummy. I couldn't wait to recover (used Arnicare Gel to help) and in less than 2 days, I was hooping again. The next day, sore again, not good timing for hooping. As much as I LOVE hooping, sadly this hoop doesn't seem to be for me. I've ordered a Canyon Weighted Exercise Hula Hoop (42", 2 lbs.) to replace this one, excited again about hooping, but hopefully without the pain/bruising :-) UPDATE: It's been about two weeks, and as others have conveyed, the experience has improved. I'm glad to consider keeping this hoop, now that I'm not beating myself up with it, lol

vraiement un bon element pour travailler la partie abdomino lombaire sans trop d'effort le fait que le cerceau soit lourd rend la pratique plus facile partie en mousse tres bien !

Se siente cómodo al hacer los ejercicios, y es de muy buena calidad.

フラフープ本体に重みがあるので回しやすいし腹筋背筋に効いてる感じはします。 運動不足解消にもなって良かったです。 この度は素敵な商品を提供頂きありがとうございました。

Sitôt reçu, sitôt essayé : - montage facile - le poids n'est pas gênant - environ 4 cm de tour de taille de perdu après 4 semaines d'utilisation J'ai hésité au départ, vu le poids, mais en suivant les instructions (commencer doucement, seulement 2 min matin et soir les premiers jours) je n'ai pas eu de douleurs. Ma dernière séance de hula hoop remontait à mon enfance, donc une bonne trentaine d'années, et je n'ai eu aucun mal à m'y remettre !! Premier essai infructueux, deuxième essai une réussite ... j'ai dû arrêter volontairement au bout de 2 min. La sensation durant l'utilisation est très agréable, massant le ventre à chaque passage .... chaque séance est un plaisir, et en plus c'est efficace !! Je suis conquise et je recommande ce produit !

Excellent hoop for an excercise and fun. The bright color makes you WANT to use it. Just a few mins a day makes a difference.
