Choose the Right Hoop for You

Why is getting the right size and fit for my hoop so important?

Size matters.

HOOP size, that is…

Have you ever picked up a hoop, tried to spin it on your waist, and it immediately falls to the ground?

It’s NOT you! IT’S the HOOP!

The number one thing that makes hooping easier is having a large, slightly heavier hoop…anywhere between 42-49′ in diameter and just under 2 pounds on average, is ideal. To be successful, your new hoop must be the correct dimensions for YOU, not the “average” person. Don’t be mistaken by thinking that a 38-40″ hoop is “extra large” and “big enough”  for EVERYONE to use it successfully. 

Listen, a hoop is YOUR body’s partner in better health…not frustration. It is personal. You need a hoop that feels like HOME and helps you.

You were not made from a mold in a factory. Your hoop shouldn’t be, either. You are unique. Your hoop should be original, like you. It should be special, specifically made FOR you and no one else.

Let me help you get this RIGHT – and it starts now.

It also has to do with physics, too. Small hoops spin fast, so you’ll have to work hard to keep pushing it as it spins on your body. Large hoops spin slower, allowing for more time between the pushes, giving you an advantage!

If you want to hoop on your waist, generally, the older you are, the bigger the hoop should be. Lighter, smaller hoops are best for “off-body” moves, stretching, but experienced clients who have been practicing how to control lighter, smaller hoops do enjoy the challenge.

As you gain more experience hooping, hoop size begins to be determined by what you enjoy the most and what results you are after. If you are on a weight loss journey and have a bit of a tummy, no matter WHAT age you are, a bigger hoop for on-body hooping is essential for the beginner.

I also recommend a smaller hoop for extra off-body moves, adding more variety to tone the arms and increasing your cardio level. You’ll see below, I now offer hoops that adjust in size, making it easy to switch things up as you practice, and you don’t even have to order two hoops – one hoop gives you different size options!  

Truthfully, some beginners would benefit from simply starting with a smaller, lighter hoop, especially if they have physical limitations or other health challenges and they don’t plan on waist hooping right away. Seasoned hoopers like to “go lighter & smaller” as they progress in their skills.

For these reasons, I also offer a specialty hoop, the Twist-n-gO™ LITE – great for simple off-body hooping, more relaxed dynamic stretch moves of the upper body, while you move your feet, but it can also really challenge any seasoned hooper, so it’s a great 2nd hoop! Clients in my Inner Circle can order this hoop with a nice discount when they are ready to spin something different.

For new clients, this smaller, lighter hoop CAN be your first hoop IF you feel you’d rather just work on off-body moves, dance a little bit and stretch with the hoop in your hands. NOTE: It’s NOT the proper size or weight to learn beginner on-body moves, like waist hooping, BUT it’s a hoop that might meet you where you need to be, as a beginner, especially if you have any physical limitations. As I serve more women in midlife and beyond, with all sorts of different challenges, I assure you there is no “one-size fits all” hoop! Remember, I can help guide you in this decision – I’m always available to discuss which hoop might be best for you – just CONTACT me!
