FIT ON FORM Infinity Weighted Hula Fit Hoop for Adult Weight Loss, 2 in 1 Smart Fitness Exercise Hoop for Women Abs Workout, 24/28/32 Detachable Knots

So I got this based on the video reviews that said it is easy and fun and effective. I am a big girl, pushing 300 lbs, and I wanted something I could do in front of the TV that I might actually use. The hoop arrived nicely packaged, and was pretty easy to put together, especially if you squeeze the "inner" link together just a little. But be aware, that not everyone is a natural at this. The first night I tried it, I was terrible at it. The only circles of the ball were all a result of me throwing it to start it. I just couldn't keep it going. Then my 23 year old son tried it and of course, he could do it within just a couple tries! So some people are good right away, but not me, but I'm also not one to give up easily. The second night I tried again and was almost as bad. I tried shortening the rope but that didn't work for me, but I think I shortened it too much. I also think I was trying to use too much hips, but really this really needs more of a back and forth motion of your whole body. The third night I started hopping back and forth from foot to foot and what do you know, I was able to keep the weight going, but with a lot of effort. The hopping quickly wore me out, I went maybe 5 minutes. The fourth night I shortened the rope just a little, so kind of medium length, not as much as before. I also figured out that I had the hoop way too loose and low on my hips, so I took out a couple of links and that moved it way up over my stomach. This seemed to make it much easier and I was able to hop smaller and go for longer, about ten minutes with only 4 or 5 "restarts". I also found that it helped when my feet were further apart and one foot was a little forward. Tonight is one week later, and tonight I was finally able to keep the weight going with out having to hop. I could just shift my weight back and forth. I was also able to change positions with first one foot a little more forward for a while and then the other foot. This helped my back and knees to not ache. And I was able to keep going with just a few "restarts" for a whole half hour!Now, is it fun...well I like it better than riding an exercise bike or walking on a treadmill. I keep it right on the coffee table, and so far I have used it almost every night. I do see myself using it most nights. I do feel my heart rate up a little, so I'm getting more activity than before and that's a good thing. Time will tell if it is effective. No matter how hard I try, nothing has changed my weight more than 5 pounds in several years, so if this makes a difference I will be very happy. It might take a long time, but hey, the best exercise equipment is the equipment you will actually use.

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the Smart Hula Fit Hoop, and I've been quite impressed with my experience so far. First and foremost, I have to say that it feels sturdy and well-constructed, which is a relief as I was concerned about it being cheaply made. What I appreciate most about this hula hoop is how easy it is to use. At first, it took me a few days to get the hang of it and find my rhythm, but once I did, it became a fun and enjoyable exercise routine. I have high hopes for this product and believe that with continued use, it will provide the results I'm looking for. Using it for just 30 minutes a day leaves me feeling a good kind of sore, which indicates that it's working those core muscles effectively. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase of the Smart Hula Fit Hoop. It's not only sturdy and easy to use but also offers the potential for a great workout. I'm excited to see how it continues to benefit my fitness journey!
