Popsugar Weighted Fitness Hoop

Very satisfied! Easy to use and quiet.

I had ordered a regular style weighted hula hoop and I couldn't even use it. I couldn't keep it up amd going so when I saw this one, I sent the other one back and got one. To my surprise, I can actually keep it going and enjoy using it. I am trying to create a schedule with it. I am having fun with it and hoping it will help me slim down .

So far so good. I’ve only given it four stars becauseI haven’t been using it long enough to leave a full review. I’ve only had it for three days.

I use mine while waiting tv.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have been internet stalking this type of item for months. I have arthritis in my feet, knees, shoulders, back pain and I’m fat now so exercising is really hard as even walking hurts!  The way you move for this looked like something I could do to get started on losing weight without killing myself. I did decide to wear my back brace (just one of those kind that Velcro around your middle) and add an extra link to accommodate. I’m glad I did because I think it really helped. By the second real attempt I made I was able to keep it going for pretty much as long as I wanted until I got tired and switched directions/sides. After trying it I went back and rewatched a few videos and for me what worked best was the way I saw guys doing it mostly - one foot slight forward and one back and you at making like a rocking motion. The noise is not that bad. It’s certainly not silent but I was watching TV on volume 10 and had no trouble hearing it. It did seem louder going counterclockwise than clockwise and didn’t seem to ride as smoothly? But maybe I have a hitch in my giddy up going that way. I love that the weight bag is soft silicone and you can adjust the length of the cord easily so for me it hits my thigh and not my knee when it drops. Very easy to assemble and use. I’ll update once I’ve tried it for awhile but as of tonight I’m a little sore in my thighs mostly after almost 30 minutes of hooping. Ease of use:Relatively easy with a bit of a learning curve to find the stance that works best for you. Weight loss:I guess we will see!
