Customer Reviews: “I read a lot of reviews before I bought this. I was a bit hesitant because it received so many mixed reviews, but I decided to buy it anyways. I am very happy with this product. I know people were complaining that they had bruises from using it, but I’m not sure what they were doing because I haven’t had that problem. I read the instructions to take it slow and not do more than 2minutes a day when you start, so I didn’t get any bruising, but I did feel that I was getting a workout. My skin gets red from the weight of the hula hoop, but it goes away immediately. I just do it for a 5 mins in the morning and 5 minutes at night while watching TV, and it’s such a quick way to do something instead of nothing. I definitely recommend this product for anyone who wants a mild, easy, mindless workout. I think 3lbs was a good call for someone my size (5’2” 115lbs). If you do get it, don’t be intimidated by the size of the hula hoop. It looks like it may be really difficult because it’s not the hula hoop you remember as a child, but it really is quite manageable. Hope this helps!” – Amazon Review, GC – Feb. 2009
“I heard about this hula hoop from my Dr. who has been using it since June of 2010. She runs and hula hoops and has lost 21 pounds! I bought mine on November 1st and have been using it every day! I started out 3-5 minutes a day and now I am using it for 20 minutes a day! Put on some Michael Jackson or any other fast music and it makes the workout even better! You should not bruise if you wear a sweatshirt the first few times. No bruising for me. I highly recommend this to those who are in their late 40’s hoping to keep the mid life buldge away! ” – Amazon Review, Karen Sansregret, Nov 2010
“Understand firstly that NOT EVERYONE is a natural hula – hooper. Be patient and stick with it – you will be proud of yourself when you get it. After a few weeks of use (30 minutes per week) My massage therapist told me that my middle back has never looked so good; a part of the body I of course don’t see. You may also be sore for the first few weeks. Be sure to hula over clothing and NOT on bare skin. As an X-aerobics instructor, I appreciate this fun way to exercise my core while watching TV for just 5 minutes at a time; 2 times per day for 3 days per week. Trust me it’s worth it.” – Amazon Review, Renate Van Eeuwen “Renate C.”, Feb 2009
“The doctor advised me to get some core exercise. One day the idea of hula hooping popped into my head. I wondered why no one else had thought of this as an excellent way to strengthen core muscles. As it turns out, they had. There were tons of hoops available online. As a former child hula hoop wiz – I could go for hours! – I thought this would be the best hoop to restart with. I was right. I assembled the hoop in seconds, stepped in, and picked up right where I left off 40 years ago! The weight and diameter of the hoop are ideal for an average size woman. I tried out a kiddie hoop at the store – no luck. Fell right to the floor. This one is perfect. I hoop in the family room while looking out at the wild turkeys and birds at the backyard feeder – for about 10 minutes 4 or 5 times a week. I’m amazed. I’ve lost inches and gained stamina. This product is very well made and does exactly what I wanted it to do, plus it’s FUN!! What more could I ask?” – Amazon Review, vanni-t, Sept, 2010
“I had a baby a year ago and started using it couple of months after, at first I did have bruises on my tummy, but later I understood that I overdid it for first few times, you have to try not too fast and for minute or two everyday you increase the time up to 15 min. And I also tried not to go I with full stomach so around 1-2 hours no food before and after I and it worked like majic on me I lost all the weight like before the baby and my stomach went to prebaby look and feel. Everyone asked me what I did to have the waist like that after a baby, and when I say its hard to believe for people that this is the only thing I did every day 1-2 times a day. So now im planning to have another baby and this is the I I will I use!!!” Amazon Review, Luda, Nov. 2010
“This thing is incredible. I’ve owned this hoop for about a week, and I don’t want to brag, but I look amazing. My stomach is flat and my calves are taut. So far, the hula hoop tricks I learned are “Make the hoop go clockwise,” and “Make the hoop go counterclockwise.” It’s great. I threw a party and the girls started hula hooping and everybody had a great time. If you get bruises, that means you’ve lost weight – the hoop is hitting your bones.” Amazon Review, ilyena, Jul 2012.
“Lost 2.5 inches in two months. Great way to exercise, just make sure you have plenty of space between you and the wall or other objects. It’s quiet and you can watch TV or listen to music without noise from equipment. I’ve recommended it to everyone I know.
