@@glitter_smack016 omg which did you get ? I was about to get one from Amazon but now seeing your comment I’m hesitant to go with the purchase :/ i haven’t been able to find one in person
I bought a smart weighted hula hoop because I never learned how to hoola hoop. Im a chunky gal and it doesn't hurt and I have now learned to hoola hoop. I have done it for 30 minutes a day for a week and I've already broken off a piece sooo I've lost a decent amount. Also, it has a 3 or 5 pound weight. Its awesome!!
@@Renewed85 not months, just a week. Everyone is different, so it might be different. But i believe if you do it everyday for 30 minutes then it makes a lot of difference. Where i got mine, it said 5 days for mins, but if you want, you can do it all 7 days. It's actually fun once you explore it
What kind of hula hoop did you get and from where? I have seen so many different ones of these smart hula hoops recently and I am interested in trying it for weight loss... I have tried working out every single day for an hour on the treadmill, and lost a decent amount of weight doing that for the first 3 months... But then I literally plateaued for the next 6months and ended up quitting... So if this is something I could add in to switch things up when that happens-- I think it would really help!
My hoops have bumps sticking out. They did hurt a lot at first then i am forced to contract my belly to "protect" it so, stronger core for me. Hahahahha
Thanks for your input. It's good to hear that worked for you. To anyone reading this comment thread I advise you don't use a hoop with bumps. A person before on Tik Tok got an abdominal hernia for using a weighted hula hoop for too long. My concern is that bumps on hoops would only exacerbate the problem.
I can only say from my personal experience that those bumps worked like magic on my sides and lower back. It hurt like a b**** the first time but after that it massaged away lower backpains and made my muscles on the side more flexible. But I totally see how this is definitely not something for everyone! ( 3 times a week, about 15 minutes. hoop weight little less than 2lb/0.9kg)
I bought a weighed hoop, took me a couple of hours to master it!! Can now hoop continuous for 20-30 mins. Did bruise at first and did experience some discomfort but your body very soon gets use to it.
My girlfriend and I have tried a few different hula hoops including the smart hula hoop. We much prefer the weighted hula hoop. Seems to be much more of a workout. After trying a few weighted hula hoops we liked the Dynamis weighted hula hoop the best. What ever you choose, a weighted hula hoop definitely is a good workout.
My partner is prone to heat stroke and we live in Texas so we have been looking for something she could do inside that isn't insanely boring. The Smart hoop or an un-weighted hula hoop may be a good option for her! Thanks for spreading the knowledge friend :)
Weighted hula hoops are easier to use, but give you less of a workout than lightweight hula hoops. This is because the large size and weight of the weighted hoops creates momentum so you don't have to work as hard to keep it going. Try out a lightweight kids' hoop and you'll see how hard you have to work to keep it going.
I bought a smart hula hoop because I have a limited space. I struggled to keep it going at first, but I can now keep it up for about 3-5 minutes at a time, I just really struggle to go in the other direction 😂 any tips? Btw your videos really helped me to get started 😁
That's great to hear! Well, having the weight adjusted further away from your body is typically easier to use. I recommend trying that. If you are still having problems, you may just not be ready to go in the other direction yet. You may need to build the muscle memory for one direction and be able to do it longer before getting better at he other direction. I do eventually recommend doing both directions.
I used to hula hoop for hours at a time as a kid. I’m on day 3 of the smart hula hoop and I LOVE it!! I’m a busy mom of 3 and have limited space. I’m determined to be consistent with it and I’m hoping it’s effective with weight loss
Thanks for advice for bigger sizes. As a kid i love my hoop and carryed it everywhere. Now im the size of your friend and would love to start again to lose weight and for my back.
I got a weighted hula hoop for my birthday and at first you start out with bruises. But I had a 34 inch waist and now it’s 29. I’m still going and trying to shrink my stomach. I really recommend the weighted.
@@Vjbc_in_KC_opinionated_grandma mainly the weight above my belly button if the hula hoop was on my waist. But I’ve been putting it on my hips and I’m loosing the weight in my stomach too. I hope this makes sense
The bruising can happen with weighted hula hoops its hard to avoid, but using extra padded thicker clothing or wearing a padded abdominal brace might help reduce that to a degree
I'm glad you like them. I'm really try to include everything, but even then there is still more I could have included. This video could have easily been 30 minutes long. But I don't know how many people want a 30 min video on youtube these days.
@@hoopsmiles I think you cut it down to include the most important information only which is great! I think 30+ minutes is tedious and I find I never watch those kinds of videos all the way through unless it’s a podcast.
I was a good hula hooper as a child and fancied having a go again, I read up on what is what for help, plumped for a magnetic weighted one, listening to this chap I have chosen the wrong one! So much for reading reviews, watching and taking advice.
You did great with this video! Thought I was going to need to search several videos for the answers I was looking for but you answered every question I needed answered!!! I have made my decision on buying a smart hula hoop!!! And the type I will buy😉Thank you!!!! Keep doing what you're doing!!!!
2:50 (5pound old school weighted hula hoop- sidebar I found it at the goodwill about 6 years ago for about $5 yay) it’s my all time fav, I do it about 40 minutes every other day and I surely see the hour glass because of this....I also appreciate how it helps with digestion in my opinion, It massages my insides especially when I hold my arms up and allow it to rise high below my chest and low close to my butt🔥🔥and yes I was in pain when I first started, I feel like the new age one won’t work me out hard like I’d like.
I have been historically bad at hula hooping. I can use a smart hoop and an consistently increasing the amount of time I can make it spin (currently 10 minutes)
Thank goodness I found this. I was going to do the hula hoop challenge after I get cleared from my csection. I had no idea a weighted hula hoops cause bruising. It would definitely hurt! Going to get a smart hoop!
I didn't even know the existence of smart hoolahoops but I remember I used the regular ones when I was a kid and I passed all of my afternoons playing with those 😭 I want to do it again now
I recommend getting a regular 1 1st to get back into it. Then go to the weighted 1. I tried the weighted 1 like the pink and Gray 1 he has and I'm having difficulty with it
Got a decent smart hoop since I suck with regular/weighted hoops but I wasn't sure if it was genuinely worth it / that it actually worked. Appreciate this video because its been really insightful and helped me form a better opinion about using it. :)
I have one in the same shape (the light bumps) that he uses at 3:00 and I personally love it. However, start out at two minutes in each direction for a few days, and increase slowly, since it takes a bit of time to get used to the feeling. When it no longer hurts, increase with 1 minute in each direction. I think mine is 1.2 or 1.5 kg, which is fine for me.
Thanks for your input. There was a woman on Tik Tok who used a weighted hula hoop exceeding the max time of 20 minutes mentioned on the box of her weighted hoop. She was diagnosed with an abdominal hernia because she over used her weighted hula hoop. Her Hoop was 1.5 KG. I know for a lot of people they can use a weighted hoop with bumps sticking out, that exceeds 1 KG and they seem to be fine, but I really want to express the importance of safety when using weighted hula hoops. I'd rather persuade someone who watches this video to buy a lighter non bumpy hoop than something that is too much for them to handle, especially if it is their first time using a weighted hoop. A lot of people will probably be ok using their weighted hoops, but there will also be a select few that will not be ok. What you tell me may work for you, but just know that hoop you speak of may be harmful if used by some others out there.
@@hoopsmiles Argh, so scary! I do wonder if it had something to do with her technique? But still super scary! I bought the 'original' weighted hoop (Powerhoop), and they specifically make a big deal about safety. They recommend themselves to start with no more than 2,5 minutes in each direction, and build up SLOWLY as you go! As in, you add maximum 1 minute in each direction when you are no longer sore. It is SO important to follow the directions the company gives, because they tested it, and know how it works. I just started it again after a few years break. Worked great for me in the past. I have now used it for two days (5 minutes in each direction), and my waist already looks better, and my stomach 'line' is more defined. You really don't need much time to start seeing a difference. You don't need to spin it super fast (the faster you go, the higher impact on your waist). As with all physical progress, 'slow and steady wins the race'. It is about lots of small habits over a long time, that leads to lasting results. It have to be at a pace where the body can be built up to handle the new demands, regardless of which new type of exercise you choose to do.
I don’t know why this video was in my recommendations, I’ve never watched hula hoop videos before, but I'm not complaining lol this was pretty entertaining
Thank you for this. You really helped. I am finally at a place where I can take care of my physical health. I'm gonna try one of these. I'm thinking the weighted hoop🥰
Would the smart hulla hoops be a good cardio workout? I'm hoping to improve my general work out stamina in an easier way. I struggle with athletic induced asthma which makes running and biking super hard. And swimming isn't an option.
I am going to be having knee surgery and while I still have a month to wait I have been wondering if a smart hoop is a good way to keep me active while my knee is not working so well. Would a smart hoop be a good option?
You are welcome! It's good to hear your opinion about the smart hoops and weighted hoops. I do consider people's opinions at times when making videos like this.
I just bought a smart hula hoop.. do I have to add sand to the little ball to weight it .? Or can I just use it without , will it still work ok.. Thank you
Loving your videos!!! Back on the hoop after 50 years and the weighted one is the bees knees👍🏻 gonna start trying your amazing hoop moves once I master the other direction. Seen a difference already after just 1 week so I’m raring to go bro😘😆
I lost an ovary because it got twisted bacause using a weighted hoop put a lot more pressure on the body. But in general women who get large cysts should check with an ultrasound to make sure they don't have a big cyst that will get the ovary twisted. Usually the doctors can inteost ovaries of you catch it early enough but it was such a dull pain that it took three days for me to really be in extreme pain to get to the ER, where they found the ovary had twisted and turned completely black and they removed it. It made me very cautious about hooping ever since
I bought a smart hoop because I kept smashing my toes with the weighted hoop because I am just crap at keeping them up. As someone who has mobility issues as well, the smart hoop was a better option.
i’ve heard that if you hula hoop one way you will get an uneven toned stomach and you must go both ways... is that true because I’ve been trying to learn both ways but that’s hard?
I don't know if that is true or not, and I haven't seen any research to support that, but I do recommend going both ways anyways because a lot of hula hoop tricks require spinning in both directions. Just going one way is pretty limiting.
I listen to music with wireless headphones while exercising with the smart hula hoop so u don't hear the noise it makes which ain't that bad but listening to music gets you motivated anyway
Dude! Your shirts! You have even more cat shirts than I do, and I have a lot of cat shirts! Thanks for the awesome video. I'll be checking out more of your videos.
When I got my weighted hula hoop (2 lb), I was so excited to have a new hula hoop that I went outside and hooped with it for 6 hours straight. If you do this, drink lots of water beforehand (like running) and be prepared to be bruised all around your waist
Watching this and seeing him do the 5 lb one my mom bought as her first one. She has had it for years and didn't use it much, but these past 2 years she has been doing and and doing great haha.
That's great to hear your mom is doing good. I will say that he heavier 5 lb hoops are not for everyone and some people have gotten bruising. Your mom must be special. Though I don't recommend people use a 5 lb hoop, if a person does, it's best if the person works their way up to the heavier weight to avoid injury and bruising.
Dumb question, but if I just move my hips like that for an extended period of time without any device, will I get any result? I'm too scared to but the smart ring and I do have a hulahoop but it bruises.
I bought the infinity hoop style, and I'm going to return it because it's LOUD and I can't use it if my baby is sleeping. (Very small house.) I have an old weighted hoop I can use instead.
@@hoopsmiles I did too. Besides usual bruising the other downside I have read was that sometimes the cord used would fray or come apart--- so would have to redo with new cord/rope. Think will stick to my usual weighted hoops. Thanks. UPDATE: Decided to get a wooden ball hoop after all. I changed my mind after reading critical reviews of hoops had interested in (most were that the hoops broke after short usage).
Honestly, I can't answer if it will do that or not to you. I have seen people get a waist strap-like band to fit around their waist when hooping. Having layers can be helpful for some to reduce bruising, but for your situation, I don't know.
Also, that's a question you could ask the smart hula hoop community on facebook. There's quite presence in that group and you could ask that question there and see what people say. The link for that facebook group is in the video description.
I want to give hula hooping a go but am trying to decide between a weighted hoop or a smart one. I have chronic pain everywhere (awaiting diagnosis - possibly on the fibromyalgia spectrum) so I’m thinking the smart hoop might be better, at least to start with.
I wanted to try using hula hoops for weight loss, bought a couple cheap basic ones from the dollar store. I just could not keep the hoop up and going. After a few months of research, I bought a smart hoop. Just arrived today. Wish me luck!
Nice! If you are looking for support and want to share about your progress, I recommend joining the smart hula hoop group on facebook. The link is in the description of this video.
Smart hoola hoops need a different movement than a regular one but it’s not hard. Just step side to side instead of swiveling. Lean against the opposite side of the weight basically to keep the momentum going.
First and fore most, I always recommend buying hoops in person and getting fitted for one that works for you. If you can't do that, then I would buy from Etsy. Personally I wouldn't recommend buying a regular hoop from Amazon. On Etsy you'll find a number sellers within the community of hoopers who make their own hoops and sell them.
Hello Hoopsmiles, May you make a comparison between “spring hular hoops/ hular hoops spring and smart hular hoops” please? I got the weight hular hoops with the bump stick out and I feel my waist is bruised😅.
When I was younger I used to be able to do it but I can't for the life of me now. I try and try and just can't get it. I think I'll start with the smart hoop
@@bmarie1648 - I love it actually. 30 minutes a day is definitely not enough exercise for me but it’s a really cook way to get some cardio in. I didn’t bruise or anything when I started using the hoop so that was a plus as well!
It's the smart hula hoop with the Joy Jump label printed on the buckle and with a J printed on each piece. Beware of counterfeit Joy Jump smart hoops. They may look exactly like the ones in the video, but aren't the same and are unusable. I know this because I have seen one of these counterfeit hoops. Unfortunately, I don't have a link to buy from at this time that I trust. My recommendation is to buy from a dealer that offers free returns and will cover the shipping costs.
I got a weighted hula hoop as my son is amazing with a hula hoop & I was terrible! It was so much easier to use than a normal hula hoop, & I was delighted to be able to do 70+ hulas! BUT I DESTROYED MY SPINE!! I have degenerative disc disease & have had to spend a fortune at the chiropractors over the years, with my back going out, leaving me in agony or with sciatica at times. Mostly it would be fine if I walked every day & remembered my exercises. My back has never been SO DESTROYED FOR SO LONG than with the weighted hula hoop. It felt like I had liquidised my spine - like I had been hooping with a bag of bricks! I would seriously avoid if you have any issues with your lower back. It seriously caused me serious pain for 18 months? And cost me a fortune in chiro fees I couldn’t afford. Saw an ad for the smart hoops… wondering if it’s insanity to try one…

That smart hola hoop likes like the Skip It for your waist. 80s babies would remember the skip it from the 90s

I wanted one of those so badly! You guys looked like it was so much fun!
Think I know the skip it, but I'm from 2002 lol
I asked if i could make it small enough for a skip it lol

Lol! I'm glad my shirts can impress. I have many more shirts like that one.

@@janellelakia I got it from an Etsy shop. It’s custom made.
Behind the couch. At the park.
You explain things so well and keep us interested. Thank you so much. You covered everything.
Sorry i dont understand english well,i didnt get which is better,,smart hulla hoops??
I have both! I'm trying to figure out which one I like better lol
Thank you for this. You really helped. I am finally at a place where I can take care of my physical health. I'm gonna try one of these. I'm thinking the weighted hoop🥰
His voice and enunciation make me want to buy a hoop!
Hahaha. thank you.
Would the smart hulla hoops be a good cardio workout? I'm hoping to improve my general work out stamina in an easier way. I struggle with athletic induced asthma which makes running and biking super hard. And swimming isn't an option.
Yes! But I recommend walking too, like a speed walk
I am going to be having knee surgery and while I still have a month to wait I have been wondering if a smart hoop is a good way to keep me active while my knee is not working so well. Would a smart hoop be a good option?
Smart hoops are just so ugly.🤷🏾♀️ And the wavy hoops hurt so so much. 😫 Thank you good sir for the review 🙏
You are welcome! It's good to hear your opinion about the smart hoops and weighted hoops. I do consider people's opinions at times when making videos like this.
I just bought a smart hula hoop.. do I have to add sand to the little ball to weight it .? Or can I just use it without , will it still work ok..
Thank you
Loving your videos!!! Back on the hoop after 50 years and the weighted one is the bees knees👍🏻 gonna start trying your amazing hoop moves once I master the other direction. Seen a difference already after just 1 week so I’m raring to go bro😘😆
That is awesome!
Epic video, even more epic collection of t-shirt and sweaters 👌
Hahaha. Thank you for taking notice
@@hoopsmiles not one disappointed!
Hello! 😊 where’s the best place/site to buy the hula hoop? Just want to get it right the first time
I had a hola hoop with bumbs but found it so painful to use i got brused, can you recommend a weighted hoop which is smooth.
Thanks but I bout both just incase
Nice! Thats the way to go
I lost an ovary because it got twisted bacause using a weighted hoop put a lot more pressure on the body. But in general women who get large cysts should check with an ultrasound to make sure they don't have a big cyst that will get the ovary twisted. Usually the doctors can inteost ovaries of you catch it early enough but it was such a dull pain that it took three days for me to really be in extreme pain to get to the ER, where they found the ovary had twisted and turned completely black and they removed it. It made me very cautious about hooping ever since
I bought a smart hoop because I kept smashing my toes with the weighted hoop because I am just crap at keeping them up. As someone who has mobility issues as well, the smart hoop was a better option.
such a great video, I had a c section and using hoola hoop helped get rid of the c section pouch.
That's great to hear
I'm just unable to to keep a normal hoop off the floor for more than 5 seconds... A smart hoop sounds amazing
Same! I started Now with a Smart hula hoop 4 days Ago. Already on the First day i Managed 15 Minutes on each side!
Came to TH-cam to look into a weighted hoop, but the smart hoop sounds great for my small space! Thanks.
i’ve heard that if you hula hoop one way you will get an uneven toned stomach and you must go both ways... is that true because I’ve been trying to learn both ways but that’s hard?
I don't know if that is true or not, and I haven't seen any research to support that, but I do recommend going both ways anyways because a lot of hula hoop tricks require spinning in both directions. Just going one way is pretty limiting.
both ways!
Both ways!
I listen to music with wireless headphones while exercising with the smart hula hoop so u don't hear the noise it makes which ain't that bad but listening to music gets you motivated anyway
Great idea! 👍🏻
Dude! Your shirts! You have even more cat shirts than I do, and I have a lot of cat shirts! Thanks for the awesome video. I'll be checking out more of your videos.
When I got my weighted hula hoop (2 lb), I was so excited to have a new hula hoop that I went outside and hooped with it for 6 hours straight. If you do this, drink lots of water beforehand (like running) and be prepared to be bruised all around your waist
can I just say, I am very envious of your shirt and sweater collection
Hahaha. Thank you!
Watching this and seeing him do the 5 lb one my mom bought as her first one. She has had it for years and didn't use it much, but these past 2 years she has been doing and and doing great haha.
That's great to hear your mom is doing good. I will say that he heavier 5 lb hoops are not for everyone and some people have gotten bruising. Your mom must be special. Though I don't recommend people use a 5 lb hoop, if a person does, it's best if the person works their way up to the heavier weight to avoid injury and bruising.
What size hoop should you use if anyone knows thanks
I live in a small space and need a low impact workout. I love my smart hoop!
Dumb question, but if I just move my hips like that for an extended period of time without any device, will I get any result? I'm too scared to but the smart ring and I do have a hulahoop but it bruises.
It's the t-shirts for me 😀😀😀
I bought the infinity hoop style, and I'm going to return it because it's LOUD and I can't use it if my baby is sleeping. (Very small house.) I have an old weighted hoop I can use instead.
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!
I already own a weighted hula hoop, but the smart hula hoop sounds very interesting. Maybe I will try to see if I can buy it in my country
I use the sart hula hoop and I find it's great for exercising tummy and pelvic muscles
Is there anyway you can add padding and then hoop tape to prevent bruising?
Possibly. I haven't looked into myself
If I can't keep a normal hula hoop up I likely shouldn't bother with a weighted one, right?
When I was younger I felt the weighted one was easier than the light one.
What’s the best brand for the smart hoops? Since a larger person might have to buy two, I’m seeing from Amazon it might be around an astounding $120!
I got mine from Amazon and only paid $32.99.
HoopSmiles, where do i buy normal hula hoops,smart hula hoops and weight hula hoops?
I love toys! I just picked up my magic hula hoop from family dollar, hahah 🤑🤣
Awesome!
Interested to know what your opinion of the wooden bead (yoga) hula hoop is.
You know I haven't tried that one, but I have seen it for sale online and saw a video of someone demonstrating it.
@@hoopsmiles I did too. Besides usual bruising the other downside I have read was that sometimes the cord used would fray or come apart--- so would have to redo with new cord/rope. Think will stick to my usual weighted hoops. Thanks.
UPDATE: Decided to get a wooden ball hoop after all. I changed my mind after reading critical reviews of hoops had interested in (most were that the hoops broke after short usage).
What would be the max size it would fit? For example size 20 or 22? Thanks.
Let me ask my friend what size she is because she maxed out the size of the Smart hoop.
does normal light hoops works?
I had to stop the weighted hoop as a hemophiliac I bruised badly .I’ve got a smart hoop but I’d like to know if it will do the same for my waist
Honestly, I can't answer if it will do that or not to you. I have seen people get a waist strap-like band to fit around their waist when hooping. Having layers can be helpful for some to reduce bruising, but for your situation, I don't know.
Also, that's a question you could ask the smart hula hoop community on facebook. There's quite presence in that group and you could ask that question there and see what people say. The link for that facebook group is in the video description.
I want to give hula hooping a go but am trying to decide between a weighted hoop or a smart one. I have chronic pain everywhere (awaiting diagnosis - possibly on the fibromyalgia spectrum) so I’m thinking the smart hoop might be better, at least to start with.
How did effect your core strength??
Great vid
With the inches that people have lost around the midsection if they stopped hula hooping will the effect be reversed?
I don't know. Nice! This is a good question for the smart hula hoop group on facebook. The link for the group is in the description of this video
I wanted to try using hula hoops for weight loss, bought a couple cheap basic ones from the dollar store. I just could not keep the hoop up and going. After a few months of research, I bought a smart hoop. Just arrived today. Wish me luck!
Nice! If you are looking for support and want to share about your progress, I recommend joining the smart hula hoop group on facebook. The link is in the description of this video.
Thanks so much for helping me decide. I will stick with my weighted hoop!
Nice, that's a nice choice.
Do you have a recommended list of hula hoops? Regular hoops & weighted? That would be helpful. Thanks
I did put some recommendations of where you can buy hoops in the description of this video
@@hoopsmiles thank you 💛
I had no idea there is a smart hoolahoop. I could never keep a hoop going so maybe the smart one is the best for a beginner?
The smart hoop can also be challenging to use for beginners as well, but at the very least it's not supposed to fall down.
Smart hoola hoops need a different movement than a regular one but it’s not hard. Just step side to side instead of swiveling. Lean against the opposite side of the weight basically to keep the momentum going.
Where to find a regular hula hoop. There so many options on Amazon but they don’t provide a lot of description.
First and fore most, I always recommend buying hoops in person and getting fitted for one that works for you. If you can't do that, then I would buy from Etsy. Personally I wouldn't recommend buying a regular hoop from Amazon. On Etsy you'll find a number sellers within the community of hoopers who make their own hoops and sell them.
Really good video! Thanks 🙏🏾
This was a lot of really good info. Thanks so much!
Thank you!
Hello Hoopsmiles, May you make a comparison between “spring hular hoops/ hular hoops spring and smart hular hoops” please? I got the weight hular hoops with the bump stick out and I feel my waist is bruised😅.
Thanks in advance
Is hular hoop a name brand?
Can you provide a link toe the spring hular hoop?
This is helpful video. I had weighted hula hoop, now I want to try smart hula hoop👍🏻
I am and very tall slender person what one do I need? 6,6 feet and 176 lb waist 33 inches
When I was younger I used to be able to do it but I can't for the life of me now. I try and try and just can't get it. I think I'll start with the smart hoop
Me too!
I think that can happen with some people. Have you tried using a larger hoop that comes up to around your chest and shoulders in diameter?
Weigh hula hoop is better more moves for me&we use this when I was high school day for P.E. subject
My weighted hoop just falls down. Do I need to make it bigger or heavier? I’m confused 😞
how heavy is your hoop?
Just got my Smart Hula Hoop! So happy this video popped up!
Also, you’re way rad! I love your wardrobe!
How do you like??? Would u recommend?? Debating which one to get ...
@@bmarie1648 - I love it actually. 30 minutes a day is definitely not enough exercise for me but it’s a really cook way to get some cardio in. I didn’t bruise or anything when I started using the hoop so that was a plus as well!
@@LoLoA89 lol just ordered on Amazon. So the 7 I'll begin!!!
@@bmarie1648 - Let me know how you like it!
Thanks for the informative video
Which smart hoop is this? There are so many brands I can’t figure out which this is!
It's the smart hula hoop with the Joy Jump label printed on the buckle and with a J printed on each piece. Beware of counterfeit Joy Jump smart hoops. They may look exactly like the ones in the video, but aren't the same and are unusable. I know this because I have seen one of these counterfeit hoops. Unfortunately, I don't have a link to buy from at this time that I trust. My recommendation is to buy from a dealer that offers free returns and will cover the shipping costs.
Wow this really helped thanks :)
Glad it helped!
I got a weighted hula hoop as my son is amazing with a hula hoop & I was terrible! It was so much easier to use than a normal hula hoop, & I was delighted to be able to do 70+ hulas! BUT I DESTROYED MY SPINE!! I have degenerative disc disease & have had to spend a fortune at the chiropractors over the years, with my back going out, leaving me in agony or with sciatica at times. Mostly it would be fine if I walked every day & remembered my exercises.
My back has never been SO DESTROYED FOR SO LONG than with the weighted hula hoop. It felt like I had liquidised my spine - like I had been hooping with a bag of bricks!
I would seriously avoid if you have any issues with your lower back. It seriously caused me serious pain for 18 months? And cost me a fortune in chiro fees I couldn’t afford.
Saw an ad for the smart hoops… wondering if it’s insanity to try one…
That shirt with the dogs 💋👍😍♥️😁☺️
