Super Heavy Exercise Hoop
Hi hoopers! Can someone tell me if 1inch, 160 PSI makes a super heavy hoop? I currently use both 3/4'' 160 and 1/2'' 125. I just want a good weighted hoop for exercise and weight lose. Thanks!See More

I just got a roll of 1/2'' tubing and am wondering if 1/2'' 125 PSI can be used to make the same size hoops as 3/4 160 PSI? I want to go 42'' but am wondering if this weight will get wonky. I was…

I've also heard that people put sand in hoops to make them heavier, but someone, correct me if I'm wrong, since I've never done it. I do know they sell sand at craft stores if you're nowhere near a beach.
I couldn't tell…

1" 100 psi is actually lighter than 3/4" 160. My first hoop I purchased before I started making my own and I still use most of the time, is 1" 100. After reading about how so many people like 3/4" 160 I bought some, thinking it…

That's great advice about the water. Thanks, and I love that term "training wheels" for hoopers, LOL!
I think the larger hoops are easier and are generally around 42-44", but the large (46") heavier ones, above 3 lbs,…

I don't know about all that water. 2 cups seems like a lot.
The first time I made water hoops, I had no idea how much water to use. I guessed maybe one cup would work.
I made three hoops like that, one cup of water each, 160 PSI 3/4 inch…
Charley replied to the discussion 'Super Heavy Exercise Hoop'
I guess I should add that I was also looking at 1'' 100 and was wondering how much heavier that is than the 3/4 160. The 1'' 160 was about $60 whichis just too much money for hoops that barely get sold.
I like my 1/2 hoops for…

48 - woah. that's a lot of hoop man! That would be the diff. I don't know that I have ever used a hoop that big. Probably really slow and fun I would guess.
Joan Warburton replied to the discussion 'Super Heavy Exercise Hoop'
Tara my beginners heavy hoops are 46 ", 48 for a very tall person. I think there lies the difference. It's a fitness class rather than dance and the hoop gets used for a lot of different things like holding it above your head and doing…
Charley replied to the discussion 'Super Heavy Exercise Hoop'
Thank you all so much for the input. I have made water hoops before for clients but I don't really like the feel of the water I was looking for something that would be more solid.
Adrienne, thank you so muchfor the input about the weight. I…
Tara V. Hoops replied to the discussion 'Super Heavy Exercise Hoop'
I actually bought the scale for two reasons - and of course my scale could be off - one, people keep asking me how much my hoops weigh and two, I wanted to debunk the myth that tape adds that much weight. My 3/4" 160psi 38" inner diameter…
Joan Warburton replied to the discussion 'Super Heavy Exercise Hoop'
I put some of my 3/4" 160 psi, large size, heavily taped hoops on the doctor's scale when I first made them. Depending on size (I did make a few smaller) they weighed in at 3 - 3 1/2 lbs. That's why I figured with water they might go…
Adriene replied to the discussion 'Super Heavy Exercise Hoop'
I am sure that would be a super heavy hoop.
I am a proponent of no matter what size hoop you have, you will be moving and gaining health benefits! Also, the heavier you go, the more limited your movement will be. I started out with a 160psi 3/4…
Tara V. Hoops replied to the discussion 'Super Heavy Exercise Hoop'
Definitely put water in it. About two cups. Put a little glue around the connection point and you are good to go.
Joan - I don't think that the hoop will be 4 - 5 lbs. I bought a little fish scale recently and have been weighing all my hoops.…
Joan Warburton replied to the discussion 'Super Heavy Exercise Hoop'
You could make the hoop large, add a lot of tape (gaff tape is heavy) and your 1" should be close to 4-5 lbs. You can take your hoop (3/4 or 1", 160 psi) and add water. That adds quite a bit of weight too. Be careful of the off the body…
