Can anybody use the U Hip Hoops?
Yes, everyone from kids to adult women and men are hooping. Even the most uncoordinated person can learn to hoop too. U Hip Hoops are larger and heavier than others, making it much easier to keep them revolving around your body.
Can I really lose weight using the U Hip Hoop?
Absolutely! Because of the weight of the hoop, it is easier to keep the hoop centered on your body. It also makes your workout a resistance exercise, similar to lifting weights. The constant movement you must maintain to keep the hoop spinning makes this an aerobic activity as well, which burns calories, leading to weight loss. Ten minutes a day will burn 100 calories and can trim 2 inches from your waist within two weeks!
What size U Hip Hoop is right for you?
Size is extremely important, so make sure you choose the correct size hoop. Place the hoop upright on the floor in front of you, the top of the hoop should reach your chest. Of course the size of your waist has to be taken in to account. So the bigger you are, the bigger the hoop has to be. The speed of the rotation is inversely proportionate to the size of the hoop. Bigger hoops will rotate slower and smaller hoops will rotate faster. Bigger hoops that rotate slower are easier for beginners, and for those who want to do tricks. Faster rotating smaller hoops are excellent for exercise and cardiovascular workouts, but are harder to master. The best thing do is to find a balance and try the different sizes out. You do not want to get a hoop that rotates slowly and does not provide enough workout, or a hoop that is so fast that you give up hooping because it was too difficult.
