I am a beginner, I have been using a weighted hoop but now would like to learn a few easy tricks. I think all my hula hoops are too heavy and/or thick. I am not sure what size I need for simple tricks. Weight is also a concern. I do not bruise easily but cannot circle the hoops I have with my hand on my back. I also cannot place my hand inside to try and lift.  I am 5'4" 140 lbs and 55 years old. Can you help me?

It's hard to tell right off what type tubing you currently have.  A lot of companies sell weighted hoops, some only use the light tubing and some use the heavy. We do offer both as well as an even lighter tubing that's the same diameter tubing as the kiddie size hoops which can be made to an adult's size.

Our light tubing standard size hoop is about 1 lb Heavy tubing standard size is about 1.5 lbs  (usually causes bruising on ME but not everyone) Both of these are options in the Weight Option box for any item in the Everyday Use Sections.

The really light tubing is about 1/2 lb and is under the Pro Performance Section.

You'll want to get a hoop that's about 1" above your belly button so you'll have room for tricks.

If you know who you bought the previous hoop from, we can try to figure out what you currently have.

Thanks so much!
