Betty Hoops, who has been hooping longer than we’ve been online,
shares here that if you are an adult and weigh over 100 pounds, the best hoop for weight loss is one that is between 1-2 pounds and about 4 feet diameter, “based on 10 years of study in exercise physiology, fitting sports equipment to athletes and hundreds of people commenting on successes and injury from using other hoop products and workout. Hoops over 2 Lbs: If it’s too heavy, it will bruise organs and pinch nerves. Hoops under 1 1/2 Lbs: If it is too light, like most of the hoops used for tricks, it will not hold it’s momentum or weigh enough to really tone the core.” She goes on to say that, “Many Curves in the U.S. even illegally use heavy hoops in their studios.” She says it is against the workout structure to bring hoops in and what is wrong is untrained Curves teachers using hoops from 2-8 pounds.
