Power Hoop 4C - 3.6lb (Dia.41) Large, Weighted Hula Hoop for Workout

I am very pleased with my sports hoop. I lost inches in my waist and thighs. It really works. Yes - I bruised at first. It was very minor and lasted a week. As long as you work up your time as instructed, the hoop is an amazing exercise addition. I highly recommend it. It is fun too!

I am an experienced hooper who has been working with a 3 pound homemade hoop. When I called to speak to a rep at the company, I explained to them what I had been working with and they advised me to order this one. This hoop doesn't come close to the one I've been working with. It isn't wide enough, nor is it heavy enough. It maybe a little painful for people who have very little experience with hoops,but this hoop is really lightweight. I would recommend this product to someone who has never hooped before, but not to an experienced hooper.

helps with my waistline and loosens my back

This hoop has a really bad construction and design, in my opinion. The wave bumps are thin rubber material covering holes! It has plastic on each side that forms the bumps but there are open gaps in the middle of the "hills". Why in the world would someone construct the product like this I have no idea!! Seems really stupid to me. I predict the rubber material would eventually be cut open by the thin plastic edges in time. The hoop also had dirty fingerprints on it so apparently I'm not the only one that didn't care for it. The company I bought it from, Sports Hoop, actually sent me the wrong hoop first. Even though it doesn't have the waves, I ended up keeping it because I didn't want to have to wait to send both of the hoops back before getting the exact style I really wanted. I had to clean the correct hoop I ordered before returning it even though it was delivered dirty in order to get my purchase price credited. I like the hoop I kept even though it does not have the waves that I wanted. It is the squishy foam construction. And yes, all of the weighted hoops will make you sore and feel bruised at first, and what new exercise program doesn't! Just have to use common sense people! I have used both the smooth and wavy foam construction hoops before at a gym.

After healing from the bruises that you get I like it. I am up to 20 min twice a day. I haven't lost any weight but I don't want to, however I have lost an inch around my hips and my core is really tight now. I have been using the hoop for about 2 months now every day. I just wish it didn't have the nobby things on it.

very good quality. I bought the 4 pound, wish I had bought the 5 pound,but it's a great waist workout.
