The fact that she took that many pieces off of the hoop means that it worked and it worked fantastically. Too many people look at the scales and think it’s just fat. But it’s not. Yes you will definitely put weight on before you start losing it! So don’t be deterred. This is because your muscles have grown and strengthened… it doesn’t mean that the weight is fat. You’ll see weight loss and gain fluctuate as you build muscle and lose fat. :)

[@kimberlyjade3708]

I have been wondering about this. That thing inside the hoop is going around and around which creates friction right? Friction creates heat. Heat expands plastic. So did she lose inches off her weight or does the plastic just expand over time?

[@whiepanda77]

She was also going to the gym, so I don't think the hoop was what did the trick tbh

[@little11clarinet]

Exactly idc about weight, I wanna lose my little gut.

[@sharonjohnson5834]

Don’t forget she was going to the gym and dieting so it was more of that then the hoop fit!!!!!!

They should have taken their waist measurement before and after the 30 days. Cause these two definitely lost inches.

[@batterybroken]

I don’t think it’s so much to lose weight as it is to shape up, it helps strengthen and tone your core and stomach/waist, I think it’s a wonderful low impact exercise and would have liked to see a measurement of the waist before and after the 30 days. To anyone planning on doing this, measure your waist! 👍🏼💕 and have fun

[@stephaniehubert11]

The hoop is meant to measure your waist because you should be able to remove links as you work out consistently.

[@jasmineanderson7713]

I enjoyed watching you two sooo much and the editing was on point!

[@SistaCassie]

Hula hooping gives you the effect of lipo on your waist. Its the only exercise that spot reduces in that area thats difficult for many. You won't have Weight loss unless you have a calorie deficit. 1 hour of hula burns 420 calories equal to hour on treadmill, but it's low impact so just about anybody can do it. I am almost one month in and I'm shooketh. I can't believe it literally spot trains the waist! I know 3 months from now my shape is going from juice box to coca cola bottle.

[@nnijahk8582]

Girl don’t get me started I just got mine in the mail

[@SistaCassie]

@@nnijahk8582 A little over one month in and I have removed 4 links from the hoop. i started 30 day challenge with a group and everyone has stopped but me. But when I have my Hot Girl Winter they gone be mad. Don't give up, work up to 15 min each direction for 30 mins a day. Do simple stretches before and after. As far as the hoop noise, I use it to monitor my speed and I repeat positive affirmations to the tempo. It sets the tone of my day while my waist gets toned too. Come back and comment in 30 days and share your experience. I'm sending you nothing but positivity. Let's get it!

[@driaalove9968]

I bought mine some months ago and it’s been in the closet ever since 🤦🏾‍♀️ I can’t keep the weight moving lmao

[@SistaCassie]

Update: Y'all, my seamstress makes my clothes, I'm in Ghana, she measured me and. ..wait for it, my butt measurement increased 2 inches!! She was more excited than me and kept measuring me and screaming! I'm a founding member of Team NoAssAtAll so 2 inches means a lot🤣. Anyway I decided to do some research and found out hula hooping works the glutes and inner thighs. My inner thighs look like a can of burst biscuits, so I'm not stopping and already seeing positive changes. 30 mins a day, y'all better stop playing and spin that damn hoop!

My mama got me this for Christmas. Tried it for only 25 minutes, sweating buckets. It takes a lot to keep it going. Also the parts that touches your waist hurt for me so I wrapped a pair of leggings around my waist under it. Helped a lot. I noticed when it starts to slow down, you can get it going again by leaning back into it or moving your feet.

Here I am with my weighted hula hoop on, watching your weighted hula hoop video. I am cracking up, because it’s so relatable to your day 1.

[@madameblackimusprime]

I got the rhythm of it almost immediately, but I did have to restart the ball a few times within 10 minute intervals. I found that doing the hoop motion in your belly and then kind of shifting your weight leg to leg keeps it going. I'm not sure if this works my belly right but it's alot of fun. My face was drenched when I got done with my 30 minutes.

[@RiverPhoenixbabe10]

This is how I do it too. I lost almost 2inches in my first week. I also kind of do a squat sometimes when it slows down and it helps me get it going. I'm more focused on how long I can keep it going. It's only day 6 for me and I can keep it going for about 40mins straight.

[@abrielshell6319]

If it hurts your waist, you can always put a waist trainer on to give you that extra cushion. Also, practice hula hooping to music. It will take your mind off of the "oh gosh, I'm just standing in one spot" and "wondering if it's really going to work" mentality. Just have fun with it and you will see results. 😊

[@lonetiger1000]

People need to get rid of scales. Muscle weighs more than fat, so for the first 90 to 120 days in a workout they really discourage people. Women also have their cycles 1ce a month, so a waist measurement can also give you a false or discouraging impression. Instead you should do stamina challenges 1ce every 30 days to see if your exercises are improving your health...like a short sprint down the street, dancing for the full length of a song, holding your breath, other breathing exercises, or even making a list of tasks and seeing if you can accomplish more on your off days after a good night's sleep...These are much better indicators. You can measure you waist 1ce ever 3 months with consistent exercises if you really need a physical number, but I wouldn't recommend more often. Also..I know it seems harder, but repetitive exercise only does so much. After 20mins of running, the calories burn much slower. So I personally would recommend a 90 day challenge of 10mins on the hoop followed by a 10min walking. That alone should show results. And for max results you have to calorie count...only eat your ideal body weight times 10 to lose weight without exercises (if you're more than that ideal weight). With exercise, you can add an extra 100 to 200 calories depending on what you burn. So my deal weight for instances is 140lbs. Multiple that times 10, and I can have 1,400 calories on a non working out day and maintain my weight (because that's what I already weigh). With exercise (I for instance do manual labor shifts 3 to 4 days a week for 12 hrs in a 120 degree environment), I can (and should) increase my calorie in take by several hundred calories (I usually increase it by 250 to 300). Keep in mind, after a while you should stop calorie counting, because it can be exhausting mentally. Originally, it's just a training guide to slim down til you're naturally less hungry. I'm not a personal trainer. These are just tips I've picked up in life over the years. I'm 34, and have sought the advice of friends who are trainers and military members, and these are the actions that have always yielded positive results. I've been as high as 150 (love handles) and as low as 125 (working out too much, with no yum yums in my diet.. and people though it looked odd on me). So I'm happy with a 140lb figure, and after keeping those tips in mind, I've always had success. Personally, I also avoid sweat pants, cause I know my lazy butt on my off days would not be able to fit into jeans a few days later. But that's a personal solution...I can't verify any data or outside opinions that support that as an effective method of maintaining the status quo on your waist line.😅 Anyway, I wish you girls the best of luck, and I loved the video and your feedback.
