A nostalgic childhood toy made popular again by the fitness side of TikTok, weighted hula hoops have become a trendy and fun way to stay in shape from the comfort of your home.
Working a number of muscle groups, weighted hula hoops are a great way to burn calories in as little as 30 minutes without having to learn a difficult new exercise. Interestingly enough, the more weight you add, the easier it is to keep a hoop on your waist. Similar to a dance workout, weighted hula hoops offer an easier option for those of us who may lack the coordination to follow a routine but are still looking to enjoy their time spent staying in shape.
While these hoops aren’t the lightweight, glittery options of our youth, they do come in a variety of styles—with adjustable sizes, color options, and weights—making it a little bit harder to pick one to add to your routine. Never thought you’d put so much thought into a hula hoop, did you? Well, we did the research and picked our top five recs for whatever your needs may be.
