Read my important note at the bottom too!! ***
Soooo... I bought an Acu Hoop fitness hula hoop from Amazon.com. I will never ever say anything negative about Hula Hooping. It is definitely not as easy as some make it look if you haven't done it before. You definitely get a great workout from it. I've never been coordinated, but I bought a 4lb hoop and after about 6 tries I can get it to stay up for about 12 spins. Which doesn't sound like a lot, but if you do it for the first time you will understand. I've read that you just have to keep practicing with it to keep it up longer. The more you do it the stronger your muscles get. So I'm going to play with this one for a while and move on to a regular adult weighted hoop. I know it sounds silly, but I want to learn how to do tricks with it. If I can lose weight or tighten some things up, then that's great too. :)
Before getting to those 12 spins I couldn't get it to stay up for even 2 spins... Had to work my way up through the 6 tries, spaced apart... I am very out of shape.
If anyone decides to try this... buy a neoprene waist belt to use in the beginning. The Acu Hoop has soft ridges on the inside to help it stay up on your body better and to massage your middle, it can bruise you when you first begin. But that only lasts for maybe a week from what I have seen from others. I put my feet about a foot apart one forward one back... some people put their feet a foot apart to the sides, either way is fine... just find the one that works best for you. Today is my first day so I will let people know how it goes.
And... sucking your belly in while you are doing it makes it stay up better. I can see how this can improve posture with time. I also have a bad back and this works your core muscles very well which will ultimately help with my back. Any core exercises are great for back pain, it is your stomach muscles that support your upper body more than any other.
And yet another footnote... Make sure you stand on something where your feet won't slide or wear non skid shoes. I tried doing it with bare feet on the kitchen floor and my feet slid a little too much. Standing on a rug or outside where your feet won't slide will help.
It is fun, but it's also work. If you do try it, don't lose patience with it at the beginning. Today is day 2 for me, I still have trouble keeping the hoop up for long, especially when I first use it. The more you practice with it the easier it will get, but it will take time. I try to keep a focal point on something that is eye level so that I don't bend over. If you bend over you'll lose the hoop ( I have a habit of doing this if I feel the hoop start to go down, then I lose it) there is an urge to bend over if the hoop starts to fall, but if you straighten up instead, sometimes it keeps it up. You have to keep your back straight and hold your stomach in and concentrate on your posture while doing it. It's definitely good for posture and balance. I think its a good workout for your brain too, since you have to think about what you are doing. You will definitely feel it the next day. They only recommend using it for the first week at 3 minute intervals at a time. I used it about 10 times yesterday for a few minutes each time. I definitely feel it today in all the right places. It will work your upper arm muscles all the way down to your thighs. Because you have to keep your arms up for balance, and your knees bent slightly while you are spinning your hips.
Also, the hoop might seem a bit large when you put it together, but really it isn't. The hoop should rest on the floor and if the top reaches to your belly button or just above it, it is the right size. I am 5'3 and the medium 4lb hoop reaches to my just above my belly button.
***Another note.... do not hoop on concrete or on wood that can splinter. I hooped in my computer room at first, but the room is slightly too small and my hoop hit the dresser in there and a tiny piece of wood pulled off a tiny piece of my foam on the hoop, not enough to hurt it. Just keep in mind that it has foam on the outside which can get damaged. Just do it in a room that has a rug and plenty of space or outside on your lawn.***
***Update Oct. 7th 2013***
I still LOVE this hula hoop! I did go a little longer than I should have on the first day so I skipped the next two days because I was really sore and it hurt to hula hoop the next couple days. I didn't have any bruises though. After that I started right back up again, if I was a little sore I tied a hoodie around my chest, or just below my chest and that gave a really good cushion but still allowed me to hula hoop for a normal period of time. My advise is don't give up! Take a day off or two days off and then get back to it and it won't hurt anymore!
It's coming up on two weeks since I've had this. I just hooped 15 minutes counter-clock-wise and 15 minutes clock-wise. I had no pain and no padding. I haven't lost any inches yet, although I didn't measure once I woke up, I've already drank a qt. of water.... I do feel that my abs are tightening up and looking in better shape. I don't have more than an inch to lose so I would be happy to just get tight and more definition.
Also, I have looked into the weights of the hoops a lot since I bought mine and I see a lot of people saying that you burn more calories with a lighter weight hoop because you have to spin a little faster and work harder to keep it up. I'd recommend starting with a 2 or 3 lb hoop. I think the heavier it is maybe your muscles will have to tighten up more to endure the impact of the bumps on the hoop but you will ultimately loose more weight with a lighter hoop because of the greater calories burned.
Though not difficult to assemble, I did have a minor issue wherein it seemed (and sounded) as if the pieces had locked into place, but when I started to use the hoop, it came apart at one of the connecting points and flew a couple feet away. I went back and double-checked all of the connections, and it is now a solid, sturdy hoop, and fun for me to use. I also love the colors.
Very happy with this purchase, I'd recommend this product to anyone who hoops for fun or exercise (but probably not for flow arts).
