Not only will you be working directly on some of the most troublesome parts of your body, you will also get an excellent cardio workout and have fun doing it. When we talk about hooping for a workout, we’re not talking about using the cheap, flimsy, plastic hoops you used as a kid. There are many places where you can now find weighted and contoured hoops to provide the results you’re looking for and the grip you need to keep your hoop up and going. When you shop around for a sport hoop, you will see that they come in different weights, thicknesses, materials and are filled with various substances such as sand or water. Online shops will recommend the weight you should try for the level of experience you have. You might want to consider purchasing a lightweight hoop and a heavier hoop. To start, you can get your bearings with the lighter hoop, perhaps a 1.7-pound hoop. As your technique improves and you feel more confident with your stamina, move on to your heavier hoop, such as a 3 or 4 pound hoop. Once you start using the heavier hoop and getting used to it, you will probably find that it is hard to go back to the lighter hoop.” Full post: Associated Content
