    Can you not just use one from Walmart???? I had one but my kids wrecked it LOL...thinking about getting another one.
    And, are there certain workouts you do, or just plain old hula hoop?

    I'm not sure what weight hoop to start at, or which brand is a good brand. I used them at my old gym, and it was great, but my current gym doesn't have them {Planet Fitness doesn't have much of anything besides machines and free weights }

    I make my own but have heard good things about the weighted ones. If you want to save a little bit of $, JasonUnbound is the design I use. You can weight it with water, sand, what ever. http://www.jasonunbound.com/hoops.html

    My mom got one from bodyhoops.com that's weighted. I've used it a couple times and it seems fine to me.

    I have a 5lbs weighted hula hoop and I order it online from www.sports-hoop.com. I really love it I hula hoop for 10 mins a day and I have seen a difference in my core muscles.

    I use a 3lb hula hoop and I am thinking about moving up to a 4lb. I do my own routine that I learned from a trainer, I love it. In about an hour I work off roughly 500 calories and get a fantastic muscle workout. I have lost inches, inches and more inches around my waist because of my hoop and I hardly get on the floor to do crunches. I have lost 60 lbs and I contribute a lot of it to my hoop. I eat well, run, and hoop. People think it's strange until they see the results, and then they are always curious. Go for it. Don't start with a 4lb hoop though, it's a lot more weight than you think. Start with a 2lb or 3lb. You can also make your own instead of buying one. My trainer makes all of hers.

    I have been 'shopping' around but haven't took the plunge yet. You can get them at sports-hoop.com or try etsy for some pretty ones.

    Where are you located? I actually make extremely cute custom weighted hoops for much cheaper than almost everywhere I've found them. Message me, I can give you all the info. I haven't opened my website yet, but you can see it soon www.whenhoopsfly.com


    AND YES HOOPING IS BY FAR THE MOST FUN WORKOUT!!! :)
