What to expect when you start hooping?

It's just like when you first start back riding a bike or a horse, you get saddle sore until your used to it, same with hula hooping, your waist will be sore at first. When you first start practicing with your weighed hoop you'll be sore for a few days even up to a week until your body gets used to the hoop. Most people experience some bruising on their hips and/or waist when they first start hooping, however the bruises are soon gone and the pleasure of hula hooping starts kicking-in!

If you want to avoid/minimize pain and bruising, it is very important to choose the right size/weight hula hoop to begin with. Beginners should opt for level I hoops, they are smaller, lighter and easier to learn hooping with. After gaining some experience one may consider trying level II hoops. These hoops are bigger and heavier and so more challenging but also more effective!

We also recommend an elastic hooping belt designed especially for the beginners. Elastic belt provides with padding around waste area, which minimizes pain and bruising and helps to reduce the time your waist is getting used to the hoop. Due to the heat generated in abdominal and hip areas this belt also supports fat loss and boosts metabolism! Elastic belt is a must-have if you have never experienced hooping before – fight that fat around your waist and never let it come back!
