I make mine - I have 2 videos on how to do it because I don’t like the hard ones mine are soft with water inside

Oooh, would you mind sharing links to those vids please? 🙏🏻

The only place I have ever been able to find them was Lowe’s --

If you don’t have a Lowe’s I would try to find an old fashioned type hardware store and bring your piping into show them exactly what you are trying to do

@@jeannetteryals6180 ~ Thanks a bunch!

I’m not sure where to buy them since I make mine- I do have 2 videos on how to do them. As far as muscles- it works abs and posterior chain ( your back etc) but really works everything- great cardio workout too

@@jeannetteryals6180 I will be sure to check those videos out. Im a guy, and believe it or not, somebody told me that hula hooping will help them in "personal" arenas, such as when one is with a partner, due to the musles being used and the movement of the hips. I was wondering if that is true...?

I thought it was easiest to start a bit heavier like 3.5 pounds- it isn’t like a regular hula hoop so the lighter it is- the more difficult it is to keep it moving continuously

I used landscaping tubing- the kind they use to put in sprinklers in lawns

Thanks!❤️

Exercise, movement, stress relief and fun❤️

@@jeannetteryals6180 it can help in making tiny waist?

Oh it definitely hurts until you get used to it- I did a couple minutes longer each day and finally started wearing a waist trimmer neoprene belt because I spin so fast I would get bruised- 20 bucks on Amazon- wear it under your top-- still tender but the hurt isn’t as bad

@@jeannetteryals6180 I will try that. Thanks!

2 spins is better than me when I first started Keep moving and your body will eventually pick up the rocking motion It’s different then regular hula hooping- have fun and no regrets!!!

Looks and videos are deceiving-- I made this video after spending 30 days trying it every day and failing-- I tried a class and the hoop spent most of the time on the ground I finally started to watch tv so my mind would be occupied and I could STOP thinking g about it-- my body finally got the movement So -- don’t beat yourself up at all-- some people pick it right up and some people are like me-- it takes awhile Happy hooping!!!

Wow! Great job- keep it coming- you are started out much better than I did

You are welcome- how is your hooping???

Hi there- any cardio can help to Lose weight I it I done for 30 plus min several times per week- make sure your physician give you the ok-- the beauty of using a weighted hoop is that it helps build muscle endurance as well as cardio endurance-- just add on a couple of minutes more to each session until you can keep your heart rate at a nice even pace-don’t forget strength work and take a good look at what you are eating--- because we can’t out exercise what we eat as we get older Once your doctor gives you a thumbs up -- just have fun

I’m not sure I understand your comment- are you upset that You can’t pick up hula hooping quickly???? Please let me know because it took me more than 30 days of doing it every. Single day- most times I would take a class and the hoop was on the floor most of the time- then I would go home and practice-- but finally after I stopped thinking about it and just let my legs and let my body follow through with the movement-- I was able to keep the hoop up

@@jeannetteryals6180 Yes , I tried 13 years ago but not weighted and now my weighted hula hoop is 1.45 K.G. and also I can't move with it

@@jeannetteryals6180 I live in Egypt and my country doesn't learn weighted hula hoop course in any center and I need to learn online

@@heidifikri now I understand-- don’t worry online is just as easy as in person if you ask me-- bring your feet closer together and lean back way further than you think you should-- throw your hoop around your body and try to keep some part of you touching it as it goes around Honestly- the best thing to do is watch some sort of television show or KZfaq videos that you can have your brain 🧠 watch-- because we think too much at the beginning of learning to hoop-- once you stop thinking about it your body can pick up the movement and motion easier Don’t worry-- eventually after enough practicing-- you WILL get it--- I know it’s frustrating now-- the hoop spends most of the time on the ground--- keep trying and practicing

@@jeannetteryals6180 I'm too afraid for the hoop from the ground to break it ! 💔

Thanks so much! Glad it helped you- have fun hooping Xo

It is a water weighted hoop with soft padding- if you want to make one you can check out my videos where I show you how to do it or-- you can purchase one pre made but shipping is steep

Glad you picked it up quick! Have fun!

Come on- start again- you can do it!!

Keep trying!!! Watch tv or listen to the radio and let your mind stop thinking about the movement- eventually your body will just “ get it” It took me over a month of doing if every single day-- I know you are frustrated but don’t stop- it will come-- happy hooping

You can’t be any worse looking than me when I started-- wow-- it was ridiculous- my husband does it now too -- but starting out is hilarious-- keep it up- post a pic when your body and brain finally make the connection and you realize-- so easy once we stop thinking and just let our bodies go--- cool peeps have our name with 2 N’s!!!!

I made mine- I have 2 videos on how to make them-- as far as buying something similar--- what area are you located????

Fantastic!!! Happy hooping!

Hi- I have never opened any of my hoops up unless I have snapped them by spinning them so fast - I have broken 2 after years abd years of use…… when I cut them open to repair them I have never smelled any type of mold( and I can smell mold even if other can’t so I’m super sensitive)…… the way I make them they are air tight so whatever water I put in is what’s in there when I open them up even if I snap them the connectors are still there and I have to cut them out. So, if you make them like this as long as you use a connector like this it should stay sealed--- but, another option would be to take your foam one and pad it just like I do these and it will work very similar- like I do in the second video of making it padded Hope that helps!

@@jeannetteryals6180 ok. thanks! 💖

I couldn’t keep it up at all when I first started- literally 30 days of working out in the class and I would have to actually work out after the class because my hoop spent more time on the floor than anyplace--when I took it home and tried it while I was watching tv my body finally got the movement down. ( my brain was busy paying attention to the tv ) and my body finally got the rock of the feet and push of the hips-- keep trying- you will get it

Like a regular plain dancing hoop/hula hoop? You can use the same type of piping- glue it together at the end and just not fill it Or pad it--

@@jeannetteryals6180 thank you but sorry I meant a diy for the weighted workout hoops that link together for core strengthening and weight loss.

You are very welcome- happy hooping

Thanks! I have never tried a hoop weighted with sand but if it travels within the hoop similarity I would think the technique would be more like water weighted hoops vs. say a regular lite weight hula hoop. With light hoops it’s more of a hip swirl vs. the weighted hoop of the rocking back and forth on your feet Hope that helps and thanks for watching

I wear a waist belt ( I believe they are called waist trimmers) it is about 9 inches wide - neoprene and you wrap it around-- I have hooped for years and unless I wear one- I get bruised -- let me know if you need help finding one-- they are about 20 bucks

@@jeannetteryals6180 hi Jeanette thank you much for the info I have found a waist belt, but I am taking a little break until I heal up xxx💕🙏❣️

Are you in the USA? We got ours at Home Depot and had to get an entire spool of it - I don’t recall a brand name on the shelf - another option would be to contact a local landscape company that installs sprinkler systems and see if you can purchase a small length of it

You are welcome . happy hooping!

Thanks!! Xo

Hey- thanks so much- it was my first video and I was nervous but hey- we learn and grow! Can’t wait to see how your hooping comes along

If you did it for 8 seconds you have the motion- check the width of your foot placement, stand up straight( over exaggerate it until it feels like you are standing w your shoulders back really far) you will get it and be able to do it much longer Happy hooping

@@jeannetteryals6180 Thank you so much. That was a good run for me! It's a bit harder now. I will try and keep it going longer. Thanks for the useful advice!
