Sports Hoop Weighted Hula Hoop, ACU Hoop 5L - 4.9 lb Large, Weight Loss Fitness Workout with ridges. (Rainbow Colors)

I love k-dramas and saw someone in one of them exercising with a hula hoop. It looked like so much fun that I did some research on line and decide to buy a couple. The one other than this was not weighted. Back to my review of this one. It came in a box in six pieces, was really easy to snap together and the quality is great. It holds together as if it was constructed in one piece. The exterior is rubber not plastic so the texture is really great. It was somewhat painful on my waist and abdomen when I started, but as I've used it more I've gotten used to it and it's not painful anymore. I blast the music in my house go outside and hoop away(not recommended if you have close neighbors). Didn't really imagine it would be as great a work out as it is, was I surprised. With the added weight it seems to me I am getting a really full workout and I have started to see a difference in my ab muscles, and it is really fun and makes me fell like a kid again when I use it. So glad I bought this!

My wife uses this for exercise. She uses it from 10 to 30 minutes at a time with periodic breaks. She originally started with a 3 lb. hoop, but asked me to buy her a heavier hoop. So she's progressed to this 5 lb. hoop. She still uses the 3 lb. hoop as warm up, but finds the 5 lb. hoop is better for a more complete workout. Assembly was fairly simple. It took a little elbow grease to get the pieces to fit together properly, but now that it's assembled, it works great. It's also a novelty for family and friends who come to visit. They take turns trying it with lots of laughs. One family member, who is very physically fit, found it to be a challenging core workout. Keeping the 5 lb. hoop in suspension for 10 minutes or more is definitely a workout.

This product was useful, but you need to really think about the weight you first start off with. I started off with the 5pd hula hoop, but I would start of with the 3pd if you are worried about how heavy they are. The ripples in the hoop do not bother me when I use it. The hula hoop's weight will shift as you start to swing it, but do not worry the momentum will help you keep it going. Mine arrived on the first day of possible arrival days. Once I got it, I opened the box the hoop was in piece, which you had to assemble. Putting it together was quick and easy. All the pieces fit together. There is no order in which ones are connected. Now you need a lot of room to do this exercise, the hoop is bigger than a normal hula hoop. Follow the directions on how to use it and for how long. Bruising can occur around the hips since your body is not use to that much weight there. I did not get any bruises anywhere from the hula hoop, but my hip area was a little sore from it.It does say in the direction to start at 1 to 3 minutes for the first week and slowly start adding time to it. I have had mine for like a week now. Now I'm not over weight, but I could afford to loose a couple pounds and I have already started to notice that my little muffin top that sits ontop of my jeans is starting to slowly go away (everyone's body is different). I use it everyday and even got my mom doing it. I use it when I am watching TV in the morning or just when I am bored and do not want to sit around the house doing nothing. It a fun way to loose some weight!

Package was intact, not a lot of junk to get through. Instructions on assembling and some tips on how to use the product is provided on the outside of the box. The product is great, very easy to assemble, took at most a minute to get the parts assembled. I turn on some music and use my hula hoop daily - it's lots of fun. I'd buy from this retailer seller again. PS: I find the Hula Hoop to be just the right weight, not to heavy and not feather light where it's impossible to keep it rotating if either were the case. It's not uncomfortable at all - the workout is so much fun it doesn't even feel like a workout. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

I have 2 of these (1 the largest 5L and one lighter, smaller 4L) and they work great!! These are the best brand and are durable. I only use the largest size now and I wear 10 lbs weights on each leg and 5lbs on each arm and dance around a bit while hooping to fast deep beat music. I get a great core and cardio workout. Hooping to music takes a while to learn but it sure is a fun different workout. FYI When you first start the ridges hurt a bit but in no time they actually feel good and maybe burn away some waist fat.

I first got introduced to weighted hula hoops at a gym. Once I got the hang of it, I was hooked! This product is great for keeping my back loose and my tummy tight(er)! It's not magic though - it takes work and determination to get used to the product, some people bruise at first. It's a great tool to help with core muscles, and definitely more fun than crunches (although it probably doesn't replace those). Easy to snap the pieces together, and when not in use the hoop can be stored leaning against a wall.

Do not try this barefoot! that was my first mistake and when it fell off me, it hurt my ankles so bad that I was like screaming and pain and had trouble walking for the rest of the day and a swollen ankle. I am having a really hard time using this. I could only keep it up for about three seconds. Will keep trying or return.

It is rough at first but that is normal for your body to be getting hit by weight it's not use to. It's addicting though I love it. Remember to switch sides you will be better on one side but you will get better on the other side. I've used it for over a week and I feel more confident, better, and healthier. My tummy has toned a bit so far no longer as big of a baby pouch.

Una parte llegó defectuosa. Pero los quité y voy usar 7 colores. Está bien/

A great hula hoop! Heavy and aggressive but if you follow instructions and slowly build up they amount you do it you’ll be fine. If you just go till you are tired the first time you will definitely have bruises. So be careful but don’t be scared of it. Good bang for your buck. Been going up to 10 minutes without any problems. It’s tones you nicely.

This very sturdy and alot of fun!! Great way to lose weight once you get the hang of it! You really get a workout!

It is a lot bigger than you expect. I live in a small condo, and there isn't enough space to be able to get it going. But the weight is good, as is the quality.

This Product is as described; easy to assemble and a great work out. It is a fun way to get a good cardio workout, flatten the stomach and loose loose inches of your waist line.
