Fitness-Mad Wave Hula Hoop

I had hula hoop classes few years back and truly enjoyed, hence the decision to buy one for myself. I first bought a light weight one, which was fine for few months until it broke off, mid exercice and went flying around the room, nearly breaking the telly. This time, I decided to invest on a weighted hula hoop, a bit more professional looking, a little bit more pricey. This one came in a box, ready to be assemble, but it was very easy to connect the parts and it felt really sturdy and better quality than the previous one. To start off was a bit harder to hoop, but after a day or so I got used to the weight and kept doing the 10 minute at time routine while listing to music or watching TV. I gradually increased the time to 20 minutes, never getting bored, and I can honestly say, the results are amazing. I lost 2 kilos over 3 weeks and my stomach muscles are starting to show. You need to be persistent and use it (play) every day, even if just for 10 minutes. I have now canceled my gym membership, and just walk or use the hoop. Worth every penny.

BE WARNED when you first start using this only use if for about a minute or so each time. I read the other warnings but didn't listen - I had a huge bruise around my waist which lasted for days. it was very painful and I could not use the hoop - when the bruising eventually went down i continued to use it and can now do around 15 mins at a time without bruising. Its good fun and you can use it watching the tv and it does tone you up but please start of very very slowly to avoid bruising!! No pain no gain (lol)

1. Prompt delivery. 2. Good quality item. 3. Easy to assemble. 4. Left some bruises where the hoop touched the bony areas. 5. Used to hula-hoop way back in school but easily could keep it spinning on the first try after all these years. 6. Not heavy at all for a person who does some regular workout. upd: I've been using this every day for 5 to 30 minutes depending on how much strength I had after work and I must say the results are visible after a month! not only visible but you can clearly feel how toned your waistline gets. All you need is some fast pace music and off you go spinning. :)

This was purchased 6 months ago - very easy to put together. It took me a good week of practising to even get this to stay up! Only try this for a few minutes if it hurts as I thought I would be clever and work through it and I actually looked like I had been kicked twice by a horse - I was purple all around my waist! It took a long time to get rid of the bruises and practice again! I now have been hooping for 20 -30 minutes every morning and find it very therapeutic and has trimned up my waist - definitely lost the flabby bits (still work in progress!!) Go for it!

I have been attending powerhoop classes but couldnt afford the powerhoop brand and i purchased this as an alternative. I really like it so far. Its weight gives your abs a good workout and is easy to use. The only reasons i do not love it are as it is not as thick as a powerhoop but it does not claim to be. I would recommend a lot of space even though i measure the hoop as a little under 100cm in diameter. I was worried this wouldnt be enough as i am 5ft7" and have a waist of around 38inch but it is plenty big enough. It is beyond simple to assemble and disassemble. After one nights use i am already able to use it better than after 6ish classes of powerhoop. TO ANY FIRST TIME USER: You will experience bruising! This is normal and will stop after a while. Dont let the hoop drop onto your hips too much, learnt that the hard way. I recommend going to classes or at least watching tutorials.

This product is amazing! Easy to fit together and nice and heavy. I can already hoop, but the extra weight makes it feel easier. It is definitely easier to practice hooping from "the other side" with this. Also it is easier to use two hoops. The lighter hoops pull at your skin and can leave you a little itchy afterwards if you hoop in just a sports bra. This doesn't do that, it is very comfortable. I have bought this to knock off the belly flab and I know it will do the trick. I'll be sore in the morning after an hour on this but it will be worth it. I highly recommend this product

Having only had this product for 3 days, I am willing to persevere with it for a while longer despite the pain. The packaging states that some "MINOR" bruising might acure,(which is not advertised before you buy) I have however a 2inch bruise on my left hip where the "PADDED" lumps that help keep the hoop in place hit with every rotation.The box advises that beginners limit use to 1-3mins per day, this however is impossible due to the pain in my side. Also not advertised is the caution that you should not use this item if you have any back trouble or lower back pain, having suffered with back problems in the past I think this would have been a vital bit of information considering one can not read the box before purchasing.As for whether this item tones your body or not, I can't comment.I will try to update this in a few week or so.

Great value for this weighted Hula hoop. I started off with about five minutes using this and was in agony the next day! So beware...maybe a few minutes to start with? However I worked through the pain and can now use it with ease. I'm sure it has some advantages and certainly works up a sweat when using it however in order to tone and lose weight I'm sure you would need to follow a diet programme too. I would recommend it though as it is a very sturdy well made piece of equipment and I do intend to keep using it and who know?? Time will tell if I get any benefit from it.

Pienamente soddisfatta. Rispetto ad altri hula hoop simili e' molto più resistente. Pesante ma confortevole. Dopo i primi giorni di utilizzo in cui ho un po' sofferto il peso, ora lo trovo semplice divertente ed efficace.

livraison rapide, du coup motivation à fond ! le cerceau est facile à monter et semble solide ; sa forme masse l'abdomen sans douleur (c'est tonique quand même !). Après une semaine d'exercices, je parviens à le faire tourner environ 2 à 3 mn sans le faire tomber = je suis ravie ! j'ai également apprécié les conseils de pratique progressive sur la boîte cela m'a empêchée de me démotiver ! très bon exercice ludique = exactement ce qu'il me fallait !!

Bin mit dem hoop sehr zufrieden, es ist mein zweites, das erste ist von der Marke Hoopmania. identisch mit diesem. Ausser der Verpackung, preislich war dieser günstiger, daher habe ich mich für den zweiten hierfür entschieden
