      Thanks for the video. I was never able to hula hoop as a kid. I bought a smart hoop this week (because of the TikTok fad) but could not keep it going. Watched your other video with the helpful hints and I'm excited to see if they help!

    I have used both hula hoops. Definitely, the smart hula hoop is much easier to use, takes up less space and doesn't cause bruising on my waist. Also, for those purchasing a smart hula hoop and having difficulty keeping it spinning I recommend spraying the wheels with WD-40. Works like a charm.

      WD-40 will degrade and destroy plastic and rubber components. You should only use silicon spray.

    My reason going for hula hoops is because I want to work on my stiffness, not burning calories perse. Normal hoops require more movement and hence is much better for activating all those muscles you haven't used for years maybe, burning calories is like a cherry on top. I do go to the gym for heavylifting. I use normal hula hoops between recovery days to improve my overall movement dexterity.

    when I got my weighted hula hoop, the box said you can remove one link if so desired. Which I'm thinking would be a faster movement as it's now a smaller circle. Maybe do a test and see if the calories burned and BPM goes up?
    I was reading another article about smart ones vs weighted. And the person posed a easy question...
    What makes it a' "smart" hula hoop? It's a track that wraps around your waist with a weighted ball on a string that you toss and you need momentum to keep it going. So they tag it with the word "smart".

      It's shocking isn't it? The results that a smart hula hoop can give... I'm already a relatively athletic person so from a workout perspective I should have to do more to get my heartrate up to burn more calories, but with the smart hoop I'm still able to do that regardless of my fitness level.

  • @ASignOfTheThymes
    @ASignOfTheThymes ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For me, the weighted hoop is really effective but I think, re bpm/calories, it's important to say so much depends how you use it, whether you're working it up and down your body, the degree of hip sway, the speed you can hoop at, whether you're walking lengths while doing it, etc, etc. I can't see myself consistently keeping it on one part of my body so that's not a real world test for me, at least.
    Re calories, I really go for it, full throttle, though I get sore if I do it for more than 90 mins or so (45mins to an hour each way) and that's something to be a little careful with (it's addictive, unfortunately, and if I do it while watching television, I sometimes forget I'm doing it! I find if I do a manual count in my head as sort of a meditation, it takes my mind off things.

    I go for the weighted hoop. Although i have the smart hoop but for me i cant see myself burn my calories in smart hoop i like the weighted hoop because i can move the hoop in my legs and move up to my waist and move to my neck vise versa i can do also hoop in my shoulder and in my right and left below the knee and i felt my body that super sweating. And for me this is good for me to more calories take away .

  • @LSykes-ev9vx
    @LSykes-ev9vx 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have both. Can’t do the smart hoop as long as the weighted (but I’ll get there). Preference is the smart hoop. Keep it out of site in a storage foot stool, where it is handy to grab. Also the smart hoop is easy transport for trips. Found it for a great price on that site that starts with a T. Happy hooping!😊

  • @Sakura0754
    @Sakura0754 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I don't buy these results. The weighted hoop takes a lot more effort to keep up, it's also heavier and puts the weight into hulahooping. Smart hoops doesn't have weight nor the movement needed to keep up a weight. To me a smart hulahoop is no different than just moving slightly in place. I don't know if this comparison is just biased or what but those results just don't make any sense to me.

  • @theresajones7512

    @RebeccaRuano 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    A-ha! Fitbit!! … I wondered how you would know how many calories burned. Super cool, man!! Thank you! Personally, I felt the weighted hoop couldn’t go very fast, therefore not moving my body as much. Will you please measure standard/regular/led hoops? Also, do you think that doing either hoop would have produced more calories burned on the first hoop, I mean, is it possible that you burned more calories on the first hoop because you did it first? Is it possible that more calories are burned in the first 10 minutes of a hoop-workout, than subsequent 10-minute intervals?

    • @hoopsmiles
      @hoopsmiles  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That's a good question. I didn't mention this in the video but I waited until the next day to track the weighted hula hoop workout, partly to give myself a break, but also not to tamper the results to do one workout right after the other. Thank you for your comment. You're right the regular weighted hoop is limited to how fast it can go based on its size. The smaller weighted hoop used, the faster it would go. In regards to standard hoops, LED hoops, that would be an interesting test.

    • @willow726
      @willow726 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Since you’re a veteran hooper I know hooping is easier for you and will burn less calories. I would also be interested in a side-by-side comparison with a smaller diameter hoop. Something where you have the same rotational speed. It’s obvious in your speed up that they are going at a different rate around your body. I suppose it would be the length of the string plus the diameter of the links to be similar sizes?

Everyone was trying it, her husband didn’t go so he had a chance. He hula hopped very well but he went SUPER SUPER SUPER fast and the weight fell off and like a latch was broken. I almost got hit in the head ;)

      Unfortunately it sounds like you are using a hoop I don't recommend. I don't offer any kind of support for that hoop, as hoops that are substandard can limit one's ability to fully learn and get the most out of this. The hoops I recommend don't require you to open up and fill with sand, which you can find in the description of this video. If it's not too late, I recommend sending that hoop back and requesting a refund.
