Both a weighted hula hoop and smart hula hoop gave me a workout in this video, but one of the 2 gave me an even higher intensity workout, burning more calories than the other. If you are interested in seeing how much weight people have lost using smart weighted hula hoops, including smart weighted hula hoop before and after pics, I recommend joining the smart hula hoop Facebook group, which is linked above. So many people there have shared weight loss transformations and smart hoop experiences. I recommend checking it out. Also what is your opinion? Is the Tiktok weighted hula hoop just a fitness fad or do you see it being a legitimate way to get into shape and lose weight?

[@cmdr_slayer4881]

Thanks for the video. I was never able to hula hoop as a kid. I bought a smart hoop this week (because of the TikTok fad) but could not keep it going. Watched your other video with the helpful hints and I'm excited to see if they help!

[@natashaduman3417]

Thank you for making the FB Hula Hoop group! I've been taking part in the JuneBugBoogie challenge. I didn't realize I was going to become this infatuated with hula / smart / infinity hooping. :) 💛

[@rickyismyuncle4485]

My reason going for hula hoops is because I want to work on my stiffness, not burning calories perse. Normal hoops require more movement and hence is much better for activating all those muscles you haven't used for years maybe, burning calories is like a cherry on top. I do go to the gym for heavylifting. I use normal hula hoops between recovery days to improve my overall movement dexterity.

[@SometimesMyself]

Your warmup is a whole workout.

[@PianoLandscapes4film]

I have used both hula hoops. Definitely, the smart hula hoop is much easier to use, takes up less space and doesn't cause bruising on my waist. Also, for those purchasing a smart hula hoop and having difficulty keeping it spinning I recommend spraying the wheels with WD-40. Works like a charm.

[@Wowwwzaaa]

Which brand did you buy? I even a few different styles

[@Mrrp_huh]

Thank you for running this experiment and using science/data to show results. I appreciate your effort!

[@mariusmarius4832]

Ive never hula hooped in my life but i just love this channel..

[@heatherframpton9693]

Thanks for this video. I have the weighted one. 😁 Still need to watch your how to hula hoop videos and practice... (There are alternative workouts for use of the weighted hula hoop, too.) 😁❤️

[@blueandbanana]

I was looking for this. Love your videos. Thank you!

[@hoopsmiles]

Awesome

[@marzkilljoy731]

Bro i love how your warm up is more exercise than i get in a day lol. Working to change that by traditional hooping (: i did buy one of those weight lost ones. But it doesnt seem as fun

[@alinaghazarians]

GREAT VIDEO❤ Is the Smart Hoop easier to use than a standard Hoop?

[@markk6809]

I just did 2 hours smart hoop while dancing , lunging , bouncing , hip swinging . Did I really burn 1000 calories ? Not got a smart watch . I use Swiss activa which is so easy . Thank youuuuuu

[@hooplife55]

I love hooping. This was very informative I think I will always have a few smarthoops . Though I want to learn the big hoop. I have been the big hoop for warm ups thanks again Hoopsmiles 💜

[@hoopsmiles]

That's awesome! That's great you enjoy hoping so much. I definitely do recommend trying the big hoop as well.

[@theresajones7512]

Maybe try to do mote exercises that require more balance and core. I'm not convinced with the smart hoop because it doesn't take as much balance and strength but I could definitely be wrong

[@LSykes-ev9vx]

I have both. Can’t do the smart hoop as long as the weighted (but I’ll get there). Preference is the smart hoop. Keep it out of site in a storage foot stool, where it is handy to grab. Also the smart hoop is easy transport for trips. Found it for a great price on that site that starts with a T. Happy hooping!😊

[@cannonballruner54y]

I loved the weighted Hoop better. I feel it's more skill set required

[@Victoria_Diamond]

Same! It just feels like it works better and is more of a workout too.

[@dpzhernandez4941]

​@Victoria_Diamond I agree, I don't have the other one but with the weighted one I find it challenging sometimes to keep it on my hips, whereas the other one would definitely never slide past my hips 😅

[@toner37]

when I got my weighted hula hoop, the box said you can remove one link if so desired. Which I'm thinking would be a faster movement as it's now a smaller circle. Maybe do a test and see if the calories burned and BPM goes up? I was reading another article about smart ones vs weighted. And the person posed a easy question... What makes it a' "smart" hula hoop? It's a track that wraps around your waist with a weighted ball on a string that you toss and you need momentum to keep it going. So they tag it with the word "smart".

[@AxelBiggs]

Would have been useful to see a control of the Fitbit on a normal 10 minute hula hoop

[@denisecmovies3652]

You are so cool with it I can't even keep a regular Hula-Hoop up if I could keep a regular Hula-Hoop up I wouldn't buy the smart hope but you make it look so easy and fun and you look so cool doing it swag with the hulu your name should be swag hula

[@margaretjohnston2858]

THANK YOU.

[@MarcoGalliani-tf7qh]

Please tell me where I can get that white smart hula hoop from? I've tried one and it's so rickety, I need a quality one

[@crystalschmidt4569]

Sooo question I love my smart hula hoop but I used my fit bit also to track cals burned I did 36 min burned 361 cals, they all advertise it burns 800 cals in 30min definitely don't think that is correct but 361 cals isn't bad for 36min

[@GoddessR0]

Awesome sauce

[@ASignOfTheThymes]

For me, the weighted hoop is really effective but I think, re bpm/calories, it's important to say so much depends how you use it, whether you're working it up and down your body, the degree of hip sway, the speed you can hoop at, whether you're walking lengths while doing it, etc, etc. I can't see myself consistently keeping it on one part of my body so that's not a real world test for me, at least. Re calories, I really go for it, full throttle, though I get sore if I do it for more than 90 mins or so (45mins to an hour each way) and that's something to be a little careful with (it's addictive, unfortunately, and if I do it while watching television, I sometimes forget I'm doing it! I find if I do a manual count in my head as sort of a meditation, it takes my mind off things.

[@daniellesharaak115]

So, do you burn more calories if you rock back and forth or side to side? My goal is to have a slimmer waist, what movement would you recommend?

[@markk6809]

I don’t think it’s the calories , it’s using different muscles . I switch it all the time . I also exaggerate my swinging

[@ethanhawley7246]

Great video!

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks!

[@margaretjohnston2858]

THANKS I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS A GROUP ON FACEBOOK.

[@hoopsmiles]

Awesome!

[@user-qt7on6ft9p]

I have a smart hoops I really like it I lose 2 inches in 5 days and I also cut sugar drink plenty of hot water 🤞finger cross need to lose weight before my wedding 😂

[@Bopperkid]

I have an Apple Watch and I’m not sure what category hula hooping would fall under?

[@marcimartinez247]

Should the hoop be on the hips or higher up? I've seen most wear it higher, but that seems odd to me? Thanks for any help!

[@janiyeastanley132]

I was told to wear the smart hoop around your belly button area

[@djfhfh]

You can do it both ways I've a small waist and big hips so it just fits naturally on my waist altho when I started I had bad brusing when it hit my hips when it fell

[@lynmurphy]

I've been working out with a modern hula hoop, a Swiss activa , I have a fit bit, I listen to rock music and get the ball moving fast, side to side, front to back, yet there is no way I can get my heart rate up above 118 ! Suggestions please.

[@tiffanypersaud3518]

Try warming up first. Even if’s it’s going up and down the stirs for three to five minutes.

[@margaretjohnston2858]

A hula hoop large one can't do a thing with it.Any ideas.

[@hoopsmiles]

I recommend some of my other tutorials which give more info

[@adamm1117]

Wow, quality content! Thank you for putting this together for us. I wish smart hoops weren't so expensive.. $101 cad for the one you linked. Think I can get away with a cheaper one? Anything to look out for or avoid when it comes to buying a smart hoola? E: Actually the white one you linked is much more affordable at $50! I'm seriously considering it. Thank you :)

[@anngarland5878]

I got mine on Amazon

[@AmberlinaSpoon]

86 calories in 10 minutes? Sold! I gave away my weighed hoop when I moved. I think I want a smart hoop now. 👍

[@hoopsmiles]

It's shocking isn't it? The results that a smart hula hoop can give... I'm already a relatively athletic person so from a workout perspective I should have to do more to get my heartrate up to burn more calories, but with the smart hoop I'm still able to do that regardless of my fitness level.

[@mslafay7]

I burned 86 calories in 10 minutes but only burned 101 calories in 30 minutes. I will do 10 minutes 3 times a day. Lol

[@roxanetesla4521]

Hi, did you fill this hula hoop with rice to make it heavier?

[@hoopsmiles]

No I did not

[@imaneferradj9606]

I love hula hooping after work I personally prefer the regular weighted hula hoop, I find it more esthetic and make me exercise my legs as well as my waist at the same time

[@RebeccaRuano]

A-ha! Fitbit!! … I wondered how you would know how many calories burned. Super cool, man!! Thank you! Personally, I felt the weighted hoop couldn’t go very fast, therefore not moving my body as much. Will you please measure standard/regular/led hoops? Also, do you think that doing either hoop would have produced more calories burned on the first hoop, I mean, is it possible that you burned more calories on the first hoop because you did it first? Is it possible that more calories are burned in the first 10 minutes of a hoop-workout, than subsequent 10-minute intervals?

[@hoopsmiles]

That's a good question. I didn't mention this in the video but I waited until the next day to track the weighted hula hoop workout, partly to give myself a break, but also not to tamper the results to do one workout right after the other. Thank you for your comment. You're right the regular weighted hoop is limited to how fast it can go based on its size. The smaller weighted hoop used, the faster it would go. In regards to standard hoops, LED hoops, that would be an interesting test.

[@RebeccaRuano]

@@hoopsmiles Awesome! Nice control of your experiment! And thank you for your time and reply. ✨ Do you have any Home Depot hoops… the kind made from pvc tubing and electrical tape? I had great abs when I used those regularly 😊 I need to make more, they’re too easy to give away 😆

[@willow726]

Since you’re a veteran hooper I know hooping is easier for you and will burn less calories. I would also be interested in a side-by-side comparison with a smaller diameter hoop. Something where you have the same rotational speed. It’s obvious in your speed up that they are going at a different rate around your body. I suppose it would be the length of the string plus the diameter of the links to be similar sizes?

[@ATREIDESDUNCAN88]

Take 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and lemon in 8 oz of water. Add this to a healthy tea with honey. Not too sweet.

[@margaretjohnston2858]

Do you have to put sand in the weight that goes round.

[@hoopsmiles]

Unfortunately it sounds like you are using a hoop I don't recommend. I don't offer any kind of support for that hoop, as hoops that are substandard can limit one's ability to fully learn and get the most out of this. The hoops I recommend don't require you to open up and fill with sand, which you can find in the description of this video. If it's not too late, I recommend sending that hoop back and requesting a refund.

[@trantuanat2376]

Could I use some short clips in your videos?

[@hoopsmiles]

For what purpose? Are you looking to license or use for free?

[@BlackCat_2]

I'm not sure which I would choose. I want to hula hoop for fun... still can't do 10 minutes straight though but I keep trying. *laughs* I am thinking you really like cats. :) So do I. I have 9 cats at the moment. 10 if you count that the neighbors cat spends most of day in my fenced in yard and eats the food I put out. ;) Loved all those shirts. I design shirts as a hobby so I was keenly interested in looking at all of them. - Heidi

[@hoopsmiles]

Nice! That sounds like fun. I love cats. Thanks for noticing the shirts

[@joebeach6289]

I just got a smart hoop today, looks like it was the better choice. I got a feeling it was money well spent now

[@michdrosemed7497]

I go for the weighted hoop. Although i have the smart hoop but for me i cant see myself burn my calories in smart hoop i like the weighted hoop because i can move the hoop in my legs and move up to my waist and move to my neck vise versa i can do also hoop in my shoulder and in my right and left below the knee and i felt my body that super sweating. And for me this is good for me to more calories take away .

[@rockinrobin3467]

How does a polypro hoops measure up ?

[@hoopsmiles]

That's a good question. Perhaps if enough people show interest in this, I'd consider doing a post on the topic.

[@RebeccaRuano]

@@hoopsmiles 🙋‍♀️ very interested!

[@i_Iik3_cats]

I’ve seen those! A very funny thing happens with them. So I was at my moms friends house and it was a party. The host, (friend) brought the weighted hula hoop. Everyone was trying it, her husband didn’t go so he had a chance. He hula hopped very well but he went SUPER SUPER SUPER fast and the weight fell off and like a latch was broken. I almost got hit in the head ;)

[@hoopsmiles]

They can be dangerous, which is partly why I don't recommend doing them close to people. I don't recommend doing them around preschool aged children or younger.

[@denisecmovies3652]

But I notice you're kind of dancing with the hula too so could that be adding to the burn

[@hoopsmiles]

I figured for this workout I would put in high effort because who's going to do a workout and not put some effort into

[@pearlaudelo1366]

My daughter wants ths for Christmas We tried a regular hula hoop and she couldn't get the Rhythm she looked like Tina from bobs burgers trying to twerk 🤣. I'm on KZbin lookn to see if ths needs "skills" or "rhythm" to use.

[@denisecmovies3652]

I have a question do you need the waste trainer underneath the Hula-Hoop I notice you put that thing on underneath the smart hoop

[@hoopsmiles]

Yes I recommend it because it can help prevent bruising for some and make the hoop feel more comfortable

[@hoopsmiles]

That or a padded belt or brace will work too.

[@marciadenton1410]

just purchased a smart hoop, still on the practice stage😂

[@hoopsmiles]

Awesome!

[@peggybarber9042]

I like the smart hula hoop! It's a good workout. Was sedentary and this gives me what I need and can increase the workout. Glad a friend recommended it

[@hoopsmiles]

Awesome!

[@amruthacreations5769]

I want hoola hoop plz share the link to INDIA

[@hoopsmiles]

Unfortunately I haven't found a smart hoop seller in India selling a hoop I feel comfortable referring people to. I've checked multiple times. There are hula hoop scams out there. I try my best to share links from sellers who appear to sell authentic hoops. If a seller pops up I feel is authentic, then I will share a link.

There should be a link in the description to the smart hoops featured in this video. If you try the different links, the white one should be there.
