Hi everyone!
I've just recently borrowed a magnetic massage hula hoop from one of my family members, I wanna know if it actually works and is the pain worth it? It doesn't hurt as bad as people go on in reviews I've noticed though

Ps..A family member used it once so I couldn't really trust her judgement

Thanks!

    No, it doesn't work. Thus, the pain is not worth it.

    Also, if it hurts, why would you even think of continuing? Find something that doesn't hurt.

    I'm sure it works just as well as any other weighted hoola hoop. But, it depends on your definition of "works". What are you looking for it to do?

    In terms of toning/weight loss

    The pain isn't persistent as any other workout you're always sore at the beginning, it's the case for this too.

    Hula Hooping can be a decent cardio workout (burns a few calories). "Toning" .....I'm not sure what kind of resistance training you get from a 3 (or 5 pound) hoop. As far as "magnetic massage"......that's new to me.

    Here's some info on hooping (but group isn't active right now): http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/2763-hooping

    I hoop frequently... And I use smaller hoops to keep me in faster motion. I burn more calories that way than I do with a larger slower hoop. I will switch it up from time to time as well. It's great cardio! Let me know if you have any hoop related questions.

    Most weighted, non-massage hoops aren't supposed to be used for more than maybe 10-15 minutes a day, so from a calorie burn perspective it's not going to be much (50-75 calories). But those gigantic bumps are going to bruise the hell out of you for no good reason.

    Might want to just try sprinting at, and running into a brick wall repeatedly. Should make using the massage hoop less painful, at least in a relative way.
