Weighted Hula Hoops

I don't know how weighted they are, but the ones at my hoop class are definitely heavier than the ones we all grew up with. If you search on YouTube, there are tons of tutorials on how to make the PVC ones.

I take hoopnotica classes and bought one from some other ladies there who make them. Hooping is great ab work and you can work up a sweat, too.

I have a weighted hula hoop and I love to use it. I think it's a good abdominal exercise, but it's not really a cardio exercise for me if I just do regular hula hooping. Wore my HRM the other day out of curiosity, and I really never got my heart rate up above 90 since I've gotten very efficient at hula hooping.
I'd love to take a class and do more moves with it, but you need a really large room to do a class since the weighted hoops are very large and people need to move around a lot.
Oh yeah........when you first get it, be careful how long you use it because when I first got mine I over did it and my waist felt like it should have been covered with bruises from all the banging around of the weighted hoop. Had to use it the next few days with a towel pinned around my waist! LOL
