Common Questions
How Does Hooping Help Me Lose Weight?
You lose weight by using oxygen and burning calories. Hooping provides both aerobic and resistance training for all areas of your body. More specialized muscles get worked as you learn better hoop control and how to perform tricks. Don’t forget to combine good nutrition with your exercise routine.
How Long Should I Hoop to See Results?
Experts recommend a minimum of at least ten to fifteen minutes at least three times a week, of uninterrupted hooping to see results. Work up to one half hour sessions as you progress with your hooping skills to burn even more calories. The hoop won’t benefit you stored under your bed or hanging in your garage.
Can I Hoop Too Much?
Hooping is a low impact exercise when done properly. If you feel any sharp pains, stop hooping. Be sure to know your limits and when to take a break. If you have any question about this exercise being appropriate for you please consult your doctor before beginning this exercise.
Help! I'm Covered in Bruises! Is This Normal?
Don’t worry, you’re okay. Bruising in new hoopers or seasoned hoopers using new equipment is not unusual. This bruising stems from the repeated friction of the hoop against your core muscles. As your body adjusts to hooping, the bruising will subside. All Canyon Hoops have a smooth inside edge that helps eliminate bruising. Avoid hoops with bumps, magnets or excessive weight (over 3 pounds).
How Do I Pick a Good Hoop Weight & Diameter?
First determine your goal from hooping. Are you wanting to relearn hooping for fun and exercise or do you want to perform the cool dance moves you see so many more advanced hoopers perform. Experiment with different sizes and weights! If you’re a smaller body type, you’ll want to start with a smaller hoop, be it a small adult hoop or a large youth hoop; or if you’re heavier or taller, you may want a medium or large hoop based on your height and waist size? Only you can decide what’s right for you.
How Many Calories Will Hooping Burn?
The American Council on Exercise and hooping enthusiasts speculate that a half hour hooping session can burn 210 calories among inexperienced hoopers, and up to 400 to 600 calories an hour in experienced hoopers performing elaborate dance routines.
