I love hula hooping and really enjoy it! I dropped inches in my waist when I picked it up. Keep it up! It's great exercise and fun. If you enjoy it, you are more likely to do it - the most effective exercise is the one you DO!!0

Practice, practice, practice.0

I don't, but there was a woman in the gym the other day using one of the studios and she had a hula hoop and she was doing all kinds of crazy stuff with it. I didn't realize people even used them for fitness, but hey, why not?0

Sorry to let you know butt...Its impossible to "tone" any muscle, toning is a myth.0 -
I don't see why it wouldn't be an effective exercise? It seems like it would be good for the core.
I'm all for having variety in your workouts. If I had a hoop and a space big enough to use it, I'd go for it!0 -
Oh yeah....you asked for tips lol. I have added hand weights. It definitely helps get the heart rate up there just to keep your arms up over your head, and adding weights increases the HR and strengthens the upper body muscles. Different stances also help - half side lunges, half front lunges; feet together/feet hip width apart; feet at horse stance; knees bent and pelvis tucked are all good for working different muscles. I hoop a minimum of 10 minutes to the left and 10 minutes to the right.0

Nice!!!! I have heard it is good exercise. If you imagine it without the hoop, it's basically belly dancing!0 -
My gym has a hooping and stretching class. Keep it up. Practice a lot I used to be able to do two around my waist(when I had one at age 18) and one on each arm and one on an ankle and one around my knee on the supporting leg. I weighed about 100 pounds.0

I have been hooping for several months and LOVE it. My BF suggested it after he saw an article on yahoo about a naked hula hooper losing weight. I use a weighted hoop that I made using supplies from Lowes. Hooping.org has some great tutorial videos if you want to do tricks. I am just sticking to around the waist but I can turn around and walk. I am ordering a travel hoop and dvd from Hoopnotica for my Birthday so I can learn to dance while hooping. Good luck and feel free to add me if you need hooping friends.0

I use the hula hoop too. It's a fun exercise to do indoors when you live somewhere cold. It's not my main exercise, but one of many things that I do for variety.
It's funny how some people feel strongly against an exercise just because they can't do it. Anything you do that gets your blood pumping is good, including dancing and hula hooping. It's nice to get fit AND have fun.0 -
Mr Oats, should I also eat a bacon double Cheese burger as you did --- lolYeah if your goal is to lose weight and look great throw away the hula hoop and french fries and pick up some squats and oats.

Bet you can't - lol
But if you can, I'll buy the next round of Bacon Double Cheeseburgers - :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
Love to hoop!!
Really tones you up. Last summer I hooped pretty much every day, and went to hoop classes for an hour, probably 2-3 times a week. What a workout 0 -

ALL muscles can be toned.
Is somebody confusing body fat spot reduction with muscle toning?

I have a 4lb hula hoop. When you are doing it, do punches at the same time, that will get your heart rate up.0

But at the end of the day if im hooping surly its better than me laying on the sofa stuffing me face.
Thanks for your input guys if anyone could link me to any tutorial videos that would be great xx 0 -

I have hooped for nearly 7 months now and I've lost over 40lbs and TONED my muscles. I don't know who made you the hoop know it all but maybe instead of running your mouth you should try it. oh and just so you know I can do squats with my hoop.0 -

you tell 'em!!
I just recently started hooping. Not real coordinated yet, but each time I use it I have increased my time! In 10 minutes it was about 100 cals....according to Polar F6 HRM with chest strap. I can't wait to see what the results are when I get better and can go longer!!:bigsmile: It definitely works your core!0 -
I've been wanting to get a hoop for a while. Now that we live in a house I just might get one! Hoop on!0
