Choosing Your First Hula Hoop (Best Beginner Hoop Size, Type, Weight Buying Guide)

Which hula hoops are the best to use for beginners, along with which hula hoop sizes and weights you should avoid buying when you first start hula hooping. Does hula hoop size matter? Hula hoop size can make all the difference when hula hooping around the waist and doing hula hoop tricks. Be cautious to just buy any hula hoop you see online. I recommend always finding a local hula hoop dealer to be fitted for your first hula hoop. If you are looking to buy a high quality hoop suited for beginners and you are unable to get fitted for a hoop in person, I recommend buying from my Amazon affiliate links below.

Thanku you soo much from bottom of my heart ❤️ , first I brought wrong hoop without any knowledge which is extremely small and start practicing a lot like a 'mad' person👻. Then I watch youtube to choose hoop and find your channel .. ohh my god!!!!! I feel so satisfy , the way you talk and everything .......💟

[@kenfreeman8888]

Helpful information. I measured the height of my bellybutton and chest to find an average starting point. I did not know "hoop dealer" was a thing. I'm a little concerned about asking my friends, "Hey, can you hook me up with a hoop dealer?" :-) But I'll keep looking.

[@hannahoram7348]

Amazing video. Thank you so much! I’ve been called to start hula hooping for some time now but I tend to over think it.... in terms of the actual hoop. So I really appreciate this video. Thank you. Now I just need to find a local hula hoop person😅 I’m 5’10 average built woman. Long & tall! I know the hoop will come to me

[@cindym4679]

Thank you so much for you help. I just ordered my hula hoop (nothing near me, must order online).

[@janetleeharrison]

Happy New Years you two! Great timing with so many people making resolutions to get back into exercising. Hooping is a fantastic way to ease back into motion without any heavy pounding on sore or stiff joints. Thanks for teaching & encouraging others!

[@hoopsmiles]

Hey thanks. I didn't even think of this video and the timing with the new year, but you are totally right it is the perfect time to bring this up with all the people who want to exercise in the new year. Happy new year to you as well!

[@absolutelyabbey143]

Thank you! Happy New year!

[@ossyrehder2889]

Thank you so much for this video. Your information is very useful for me. Good luck and enjoy hooping to Abbey..

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks. I'm glad the info was useful

[@absolutelyabbey143]

Thank you!😁

[@cynthiaappleton4668]

This awesome, i am researching hoops, it looks so fun. I'm not sure because I am 54 . I don't want to look silly, maybe looking silly is just what I need. :0

[@hoopsmiles]

Lol. Looking silly is really fun!

[@absolutelyabbey143]

Looking silly is is super fun! Mostly you just feel silly, but actually don't look silly! I promise! ☺

[@MillsSkits]

Happy New Year! I hope Abbey is enjoying her new hula hoop. It turned out great!

[@hoopsmiles]

The last I heard, yes she is. Hopefully we can make another video together with her new hoop soon.

[@MillsSkits]

It's a fun series to see a beginner in the process of learning, and there are so many topics you can cover. Thank you for creating your hula hoop videos!

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks!

[@absolutelyabbey143]

I love my new hoop! Thanks!! Stay tuned we got lots of fun ideas!❤

[@roshnytony5208]

I think 38 inch suits to me could you please suggest from where did i could buy it, if it is available for home delivery please share the link. Thanks in advance

[@leftycrafter]

I'm making my own hoops. What diameter would you recommend for the smaller hoops for off-body work, like hands, etc?

[@hoopsmiles]

Depends, it's really up to you, but maybe between 30 to 33"

[@nehaburnwal5680]

I am a beginner aged 24. Should I buy hulahoop online without trial.??

[@kaumudi123]

Hey can you please tell the sizes of the hoop as well? What is the size of last hoop? I am a plus sized person like Abby but not tall like her. I'm like 5'2" tall.

[@hoopsmiles]

Abby's hoop is around 49 inches in diameter I believe

[@msistah247]

Perfect! I bought the wrong size and now have one that is much better. This is great info.

[@hoopsmiles]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aratrikabiswas7130]

Sir I am 15 yrs what size hula hoop is suitable for me please say

[@michelekoegel9364]

Hi. I've been hooping about 9 months. I don't really do waist hooping but I'm trying to master shoulder hooping. How long is considered " good" amount of time to waist hoop? I did 1 minute 50 seconds just now with my 33 PP. Meaning that's how long I could keep it up standing still. I didn't move around and that was my first time timing.

[@hoopsmiles]

I don't know. I'd say a good amount of time for waist hooping is when you are to the point it feels like the hoop could stay up as long as you want it to. If you are still struggling with the hoop slipping or you can't move or spin around while waist hooping, then I'd say there is still more to master. However, it sounds like you are already using a smaller size hoop which is going to be more difficult to hoop with anyways.

[@Redmi-mp4ng]

[@tiffanybrown4775]

What size is the hoop you choose for Abby that worked towards the end of your video

[@hoopsmiles]

I don't know. The hoop is in her possession. I'll ask her.

[@LadyxAkira]

@@hoopsmiles hey did you ever find out the size of the hoop she uses in this video?

[@absolutelyabbey143]

Ill remind him to get back to you !

[@heatherl2947]

New subscriber here lol. I'd also like to know what size Abby's hoop is.

[@absolutelyabbey143]

[@elvinmay54]

How tall is Abbey? Also what if there isn't a store near.? What kind of height/ weight hoop should I guesstimate

[@hoopsmiles]

Let me ask her. I don't recommend people buy their first hoop online. If you can't test out and buy in person, and your only option is to buy online, then the best bet is to buy a hoop that is collapsible, that can be made bigger or smaller with multiple hoop sections. In some cases, if you need a bigger hoop, you might be able to buy 2 collapsible hoops and combine them, depending on the type of hoop you get. That way you can see which size fits you best.

[@elvinmay54]

@@hoopsmiles Thanks 😊

[@achaouma4813]

I am a beginner, I want to start hula hooping to reduce my waist of course alongside healthy eating and other activities. I am 4” 11” inches tall, my options are a 90cm and an 83cm hoop, which of the two is most suitable? My other question is, is 1.97kg heavy enough?How heavy should a beginners hoop be?

[@hoopsmiles]

Well the weight of the hoop depends on what your intentions are. Having a heavier hoop if you only plan to waist hoop, could help you lose weight. In terms of the weight you should use, I'm not the biggest fan on advising on how heavy a weighted hoop should be, particularly because the heavier a hoop gets the more likelihood one could injure themselves or bruise easier. If your intention is to learn hoop tricks then a weighted hoop is not the way to go. I would recommend a hoop under a half kg in weight for learning tricks. If it's your first hoop, I would go with the bigger hoop.

[@hafeejamulla1437]

From where do you bought these hoops.?

[@hoopsmiles]

The hoops in this video I made myself and are not for sale, but there are a lot of handmade hoops on Etsy. I would recommend buying a hoop from there.

[@istgstfuncommit]

anyone noticed that a video he made that was called teaching a begginer hoola hooping had the exact same girl named abby and he said she was a begginer and here he said she was a begginer aswell..

[@hoopsmiles]

what are you getting at?

[@rightmess]

Get a life it’s a demo to help

[@juliekay2008]

Your video should just say "find a local dealer".

[@hoopsmiles]

Why do you say that?

[@ganeshayer9770]

Nonsense - Blah Blah Blah.... useless information. What is the size of the hoops in inches? MOst important info is missing rendering this video absolutely useless.

[@hoopsmiles]

I disagree. The size in inches doesn't really matter as much as one may think unless you already know what size of hoop fits you. But if you have never tried hooping before and you watch a video on youtube and it tells you to buy a hoop x amount of inches, many people may end up wasting their money and time buying the wrong size because the hoop size mentioned in the video was meant to fit the person using it in the video, even if the person in the video has a similar body type as you. Even people on the bigger plus side may use a smaller hoop than the one used in this video or perhaps an even bigger hoop. So in that, the hoop size in inches is variable if someone has never tired it, meaning it could be bigger or smaller. Whats more important is the process of getting fitted to find the right size instead of just buying a hoop size in inches that someone else told you to buy. That's what hoop sellers will do Amazon. They will claim a 38 to 40 inch hoop is for beginners, when many beginners may need a much larger hoop than that. Anyone reading this reply, I recommend getting fitted for a hoop in person to determine your hoop size instead of blindly buying a hoop size someone online told you to buy. But if you can't get fitted in person, and have to buy online, buy from a seller that offers free returns so you can send it back if you try it out and its not the right size.
