Weighted
Exercise Hoops
We recommend a hoop that you can comfortably maintain the hooping rotation for a
minimum of 10 minutes. These larger heavier hoops rotate more slowly and are
easier to learn to maintain the hoop rotation. Exerhoop exercise hoops are approx
93cm (36") dia and 450gm weight.
The benefit of this larger hoop is that you can vary the intensity of your hooping from
faster to slower.
If you are a beginner, or would prefer learning at a slower rate, or are considerably
overweight you will do better to start with the larger hoop, so that you can experience
immediate success, which will encourage you to continue to work out with the hoop.
Many people believe that the more weight you want to lose the heavier the hoop you
need to buy.
THE WEIGHT AND SIZE OF THE HOOP IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN WEIGHT LOSS!!!
Regardless of the type of exercise you are doing you lose weight by using oxygen,
getting your heart rate up and burning calories!
Through experience we believe our hoops are the ideal size and weight to trim inches
off your waist and for overall fitness. We also don't recommend hoops with gimmicky
waves, magnets, etc., as they almost always will produce bruises and are usually
heavier than they need to be.
Exerhoop hula Hoops are used and endorsed by Grace Raven, Hoop Dance Instructor. and

The Technical Stuff:
Unfortunately Hoop swing is all about Physics - that boring topic we liked so much
at school!!!
Gravity and the effect it has on Mass plus Friction is what makes a hoop work.
The heavier the hoop the greater the effect of Gravity and it falls down.
The lighter the hoop the less Mass it has and it does not spin well. The smaller
diameter, the greater friction area on your body the more it slows down and
conversely the larger the diameter of the hoop the less friction area it has on your
body the less power you can apply and it falls down.
For beginners and for exercise there is an optimum design size & weight for the
hoop to be effective and Exerhoop Exercise Hulahoops are hand crafted to this
optimum formulae.
Hoops sold in stores often have a diameter smaller than 75cm dia and are very
light. That is far too light and small for an adult to spin. Most adults can spin a
hoop with a 90cm diameter easily. ExerHoop Hula-Hoops are designed
specifically for adults!
Although we do have children as young a 5 & 6 years old successfully swinging
our hoops - see the Photo Gallery
The friction of the hoop against your body fights the force of gravity to keep the
hoop in the air. The tape helps increase the friction. Faster spinning is needed to
keep a smaller hoop in contact with your body, your new larger ExerHoop
Hula-Hoop can spin more slowly and still stay in the air.
You may not be able to defy gravity with your ExerHoop Hula-Hoop for long on
your first few tries, but the more you practice, the better you will get.
Soon, you will be shaping your waist, hips and thighs and strengthening your
core with a calorie burning workout that is a whole lot of fun. Don't forget to throw
on your favourite music to make your hula hooping experience more fun -
The Beach Boys are a cool, retro choice - and enjoy this new workout all year
round.
