Review 1 for Danskin Now 2.5 lb Fitness Hoop
for a starter hoop its great

For starting out hula hooping for exercise it is a great hoop.....after a week of hooping I have researched in depth on hooping for exercising and have discovered a weighted hoop is not the best, however the 2.5lb is ok, I have ordered a smaller sized hoop and less in pounds which is great for exercise, the smaller the hoop the more energy needed to keep the hoop up... remember its only my opinion.....what me be better for me may not be for others.....I still enjoy this hoop and will keep it for an alternative for my exercise routines

Good hoop for exercise, goes together and comes apart easily. Not the flashiest colors but that has no impact on function. So far no problems. I have other hoops I've made and several others purchased to compare too. Have returned 2 others of similar weight and function. Like this as well as the hoops I've made although they have no padding but are weighted. So all in all, I have a nice variety.

Love my Danskin Fitness Hoop! Great workout in just 15 mins a day. Instructional DVD included is very helpful. My only complaint is that its suppose to be easily taken apart for storage and/or travel but its really not that easy to pull apart once its put together. I've given up on trying. But overall, its a good exercising hoop and the price can't be beat. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

Review 7 for Danskin Now 2.5 lb Fitness Hoop

This product, at 2.5 lbs was too heavy for me to use comfortably. As other reviewers have mentioned it hurts your middle because it is so heavy, and it was so uncomfortable I did not want to push through the pain to see if it would alleviate over time. Its also very large in diameter, I think for someone of my stature a little bit smaller of a hoop would have been preferable. I returned my hoop after several minutes of use. I would say this product is built for a man, not a petite female. And 2.5 lbs is simply too heavy. I understand now why hoopnotica hoops are only 1 lb to start. If Danskin made a 1 lb hoop, or even a 1.5 lb hoop I would be willing to try again.

I use this hula hoop 2 times a day for about 10-15 minutes. I use it on my waist going each way for 3-5 minutes each way, on my wrist for 1- 2 minutes each wrist, and then on my neck for 1 minute. Although I have only been using it for a week. I feel that it is starting to work. You have to get past the first 3-4 days of pain then you feel it working. Great for the price.

Plenty good for a workout but could be more cushioned. Makes one sore - not muscle sore from working out, but bruisey sore on the surface of the skin from contact. Both me (43) and my 53 YO BF work out pretty regularly (planks, home gym, etc) and this is a fun distraction but likely won't replace other core workout moves.

I gave this a good rating as it seems nice but I have nothing of this type to really compare it to.
It works & for the price, if one losses interest after a day or year, it won't be a too expensive clothes hanger like some other pieces of work-out equipment become.

What a fun way to get a quick little work out in! I've been using this in my living room while watching tv. The product is good quality and not too heavy for a beginner. I haven't hula hooped since I was a child, but I found it was easy to get the hang of and I feel like I'm getting better at it everyday. Very satisfied.

I love this hoop! I have always loved hula hooping and I love the fact that I can do it for fitness now. I usually hoop while listening to music or watching TV and it is so much fun. You just don't feel like you're working out, but there are definitely results! My whole family loves it!

The hoop is good exercise for the waist. The video is easy to follow for the waist but you can't swing the weighted hoop around on your arm and watch television. That could be very dangerous if you lost control. I do like that I can watch television and use the hoop at the same time. That makes it easier to find time to use it.

This fitness hoop is pretty good. Had to learn to hoop again because its been so long but it came back easy. Its been almost a week and I am now up to around 8 minutes by choice. I try not to over do it because I got really sore at first. Moving up to 12 minutes next week and then increasing from then on. Its obviously a big hoop, no reason for you to knock over furniture, find a spacious area.

A little too bulky

The fitness hoops I have seen are plastic and smooth. The cushion on this one, while it may provide some comfort...it adds bulk. Also, I think I would prefer a lighter hoop since I wanted it for dancing. The price was great though.

Review 20 for Danskin Now 2.5 lb Fitness Hoop
Hoola Hoop

I read that one shouldn't use a hoop more than 2 lbs. I ordered it anyway. Even though the hoop had to be put together (it was in 6 pieces) I could feel how heavy this would be. Since it was such a good deal $$$$ wise, I thought if the cassette disc was good I would keep it just for the c.d. Well, it was approximately 7 minutes long and didn't really learn anything. One move on c.d. suggests putting the hoop onto your wrists. This is not a good idea if you don't want to do some damage to your wrists. If it's too much weight on the waist and hips, it will be too much weight and pressure on the wrists. I returned the product.
