Hey. I recently heard about hula hooping for getting in shape. I’m trying to pick the right weight and size for a hula hoop.
I’m 5′3" and 105 lbs. Should I get a hula hoop with ridges or smooth? I don’t want too much bruising because I heard about internal damage from that.
I’m thinking maybe 2-3 lb hula hoop. Also do you know any websites to buy exercise hula hoops for under $30?
Thanks =]
well doctor says any hula hoop will do an its better a smooth one

~This is a taste of how I move with the hoop- in studio and performance- as well as my first foray into video editing. Circa 2007. A new demo reel is forthcoming, stay tuned!
Special thanks to Christian Breeden for his help with this as well as to Jim McGuire, photographer/videographer extraordinaire, who has generously filmed and shot me over the years. The silhouette footage was shot at his studio in Charlotte, NC.

30 minutes 4-6 times a week. I’m hoping to see most of my weight loss results from my stomach. I am a type one diabetic so it’s been hard for me to lose the extra pounds on my midsection. I know I can’t lose weight in one particular area but I’m hoping to see some progress. Thanks
Hi, I tried this brand new diet supplement from http://bilops.bestenergydiet.info. They have a risk free trial on right now. What it does, is flush out your pipes, there will be as much as 20 lbs in there, and no degree of diet and exercising is likely to obliterate it. Give it a try out – I did, and shed 17 lbs LOL!!!
Weve got major hoop dreams — but not the b-ball kind (were way too short and old for that). Were talking hula hoops, specifically those being whirled by Pilates instructor Jen Bleier for her new Hoopilates classes in New York.In this video, Bleier teaches some basic moves you can do from anywhere — and, yes, you will break a sweat.

I have to order online and walmart doesn’t have any good ones, toys’r'us is all out, I can’t find any on target. I was just going to get a cheap, lightweight hula hoop and fill it up with water, but if anyone has any suggestions on where to buy either a heavy hoop, or a lightweight one, for under $20 it would be greatly appreciated!

We are trying to put together a preschool project where kids can tape their own hoops.I need an idea of how much to buy.
It would depend entirely on what size hula hoop you are going for, and what material you are making it out of/taping together. For example, say you wanted to make a 10 inch line of paper (and then close that line into a loop). If you use strips of paper that are one inch long, you need ten of them, held together by nine pieces of tape, with a tenth piece of tape to close the loop. If you made the same 10 inch line with strips of paper that are two inches long, you need five of those strips, held together by four pieces of tape with a fifth piece of tape to close the loop.
If, however, you are making the hoop out of loops of paper (sort of like a chain) then you will need one piece of tape for each piece of paper used. The amount of tape still changes depending the size of the strip of paper. If you make the hula hoop out of 25 loops of paper, you need 25 pieces of tape. If you make it out for 50 loops of paper, you need 50 pieces of tape.
hey there, so I am looking to lose some weight, I’ve already started on a semi good diet, I’m writing down what I eat, when I eat, that kind of thing, I’m eating pretty healthy, I have the occasional small thing of chips
But my exercise now is starting the ‘walk slim’ system with Leslie SanSome or something like that, can’t remember her last name, that is 30 minutes of interval walking and what not. So in addition, I am doing a few crunches/ pull ups. I recently bought a hula hoop and a jump rope, will this be a good addition to my exercise regimen?
jump roping is really good for you! it gets your heart beating. i always jump rope for 5 minutes before and after a workout.
