Hi everyone! I just purchased a hula hoop with a weight of 3 pounds from academy. I really enjoyed it, but the next day the left side of my stomach was too sore for me to hula hoop. Has anyone else had this problem? If you have a fitness hula hoop, what weight do you use?

Even a non weighted hoop will cause tenderness when used vigorously without building up the abs for it slowly. Your gut is inherently vulnerable area of your body. Hooping is a blast, and a great work out. I would just mix it up, use some lighter hoops, and also practice hooping around your hips more0

It's cardio exercise.......
Here's a group (not very active) but some information: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/2763-hooping0 -
You will get used to it, just stick at it. It stops hurting but because of the tenderness it makes you constantly tense up. Good for the abs!0

A quick update: i still hula hoop and feel no pain. I love it!1

Yeah the pain/bruising is fairly short lived. I hoop occasionally and it hasn't come back.
