The VirtuFit Fitness Hula Hoop is heavier, thicker and larger than a normal hoop. These specifications make the hula hoop a very efficient training tool.
In addition to training your core, you also train your back, thighs and legs. As long as you keep the hoop up while hula hooping, the weight of the hoop ensures that you are effectively training your muscles. At the same time, you are working on your coordination and posture. Alternate the normal hooping motion with side steps, jump-throughs or other exercises. You'll soon notice that a workout with a hoop doesn't have to be boring!
The base of the hoop consists of a sturdy plastic tube with a thick layer of foam with waves on the outside. This shape provides extra good development of the muscles. The hoop comes in 6 parts that you simply click together. The click system is so sturdy that you don't have to worry about the hula hoop coming loose during your workout.
