Our beginner standard size has been determined through research as the most suitable for new hula hoopers who wish to learn to hula hoop. It's a great size for learning on-body hooping as well as those foundational fun off-body beginner dance moves.
Some people who are much taller than average prefer a large hula hoop and for those who a particularly short a small hoop may suit you better.

Weighted Fitness Hula Hoops
Choose a weighted fitness hoop if you want to use your hula hoop around your waist primarily. This is a great, no-impact way to work out and build core strength. If you have tried hula hooping before and found it a little difficult weighted hoops could be a great choice for you as well.
Generally, the bigger and heavier a hula hoop is, the easier it will be to keep it spinning around your waist (thanks, physics!)
Sizing guidelines are the same as beginner hoops, but if you want to make it even easier for yourself, opt for a size bigger!
