The infinity hoop is currently an internet sensation as one of the most versatile workout tools. It is fun, easy to use, and the fact that one can use it in the comfort of their home; makes it even more convenient. However, the big question is, does the infinity hoop work, and what kind of workout can one use it for? Well, the answer is yes! This hula hoop does its job, and we are going to provide all the details about the infinity hoop, plus the kind of workouts you can perform with it.

What is the Infinity Hoop?

Also referred to as an intelligent hula hoop, this is a weighted hula hoop that works like the standard hoops, but this model is more advanced. In terms of the design, this weighted hula hoop comes in pieces that you have to join together to get the right fit for your waist size. The infinity hoop is meant to fit almost firmly around the waist for more comfort when working out.

Therefore, it is recommended that you measure your waist area before connecting the pieces to ensure you get the perfect fit. I want to outline the hoop with a weight attached to it that rotates as you move your waist to add a bit of resistance when working out.

What’s In the Infinity Hoop Package?

• The package consists of 1 infinity hoop (they come in pieces to join to your waist size)
• One weighted ball, in most cases, filled with sand
• A plastic tray
• A paper insert and a silicone cover

6 Benefits of Using The Infinity Hoop

1. Give Quicker Results

Apart from using it for standard hula hoop exercises, the weighted hula hoops are added more weight, hence providing more resistance in your workout. People tend to get quicker results than when working out with the other hoops. Also, this infinity hoop is recommended to be used for 30 seconds and in 30 days to give the expected results.

2. Burn Calories

Probably one of the significant benefits this hoop is famous for is that it can help you lose weight. It supports cardio workouts such that using it for 30 minutes per session; you get to burn up to 210 calories. Imagine using it twice a day and every day; you get to lose a lot of calories which results in weight loss.

3. Body Toning

This is also a great workout tool to help you tone significant body parts. The infinity hoop involves using the core, which in return helps create muscles around the waist for perfect toning. It also engages the lower body parts so that you will tighten the glutes, hamstrings, and butt areas. To engage more of the lower body parts, consider standing with one foot in front or slightly bending your legs when working out with the hoop.

4. Full-body cardio

It all depends on how you use the weighted hoop for full-body workouts. First off, it fits perfectly on the waist, so you can hoop with it while jumping at the area you are working out. The hula hoop comes with a weight filled with sand to add some weight to challenge your body.  You need to ensure you position your body in a good balance, which involves using the lower body parts. Lastly, you have to engage your core for better hooping. Therefore, this is a hoop you can use to exercise your entire body.

5. Pre Workout Warm-Up

This weighted hoop is excellent if you are looking for a better way to warm up your body before embarking on vigorous cardio workouts. It engages the better part of your body that will get your muscles” woken” and ready for other cardio.

6. They are fun

I can say the weighted hoop is more fun as you don’t need to keep on positioning it around the waist. As we had mentioned, the infinity hoop is meant to fit around the waist, which means it does not fall off as you work out with it.

3 Weighted Hula Hoop Exercises

 

1. Front and Back Hula Hoop Rock

This is technically where you work out with the hoop by moving your body front and back.

• Stand with either of the legs in front (you can start with the left or right foot)
• Then position the weight ball on the side where you placed the foot front.
• Then start gently to rock your body around while rocking it back and vice versa. Do 15 reps on one side and then interchange the legs and the ball starting point.

2. Side By Side Hula Hoop (Traditional)

This workout targets the core to either tighten it or create muscles around the waist.  It is also a more comfortable workout since you perform it with your legs in the same position.

• Stand with your legs apart.
• Position the weighted ball on either side and then begin to rotate your waist circularly. Repeat this for 15 reps and then interchange rotation from the other side.
• One point to note is that you should always interchange both sides to ensure equal workout results.

3. Arm Swing Hula

This is a workout that targets both lower and upper body parts.

• You ought to stand with your legs apart and stretch your hands as far as you can
• Then swing starting from either side while swinging your hands back and forth in a rotation motion.
