How are our Hoops different from toy hoops?
Our Hoops are slightly bigger, a little heavier, and a whole lot prettier than kids lightweight toy hoops! They help beginners keep their momentum going for a great cardiovascular workout. As your skill improves, the weight helps to maintain control of your movement and build muscle tone. All of our hoops are handmade here in Rochester, NY by Master Hoopsmith Keith Moore, who has custom made over 5,000 hoops-including hoops for celebrities such as Joy Bauer, Kathy Lee, Hoda, Tim Gunn, Harley Pasternak, Eminem's daughter and more!
Are your hoops weighted?
Our Hoops are heavier than regular toy hoops due to their size and decoration. Our hoops are not "weighted". We do not recommend weighted hoops for CardioHoop as they can be uncomfortable to use. They are a pound and a half by virtue of materials (tubing/tape), not with anything added! Cardio hoops are 1.5lbs and 42-46 inches in diameter.
What can I expect from my first class?
Get ready to laugh, sweat and have some fun! We will take you through the moves step by step, at your own pace. Before you know it, you will be moving gracefully, and incorporating your own style. No matter what your level, you are sure to get a great cardiovascular workout. You’ll begin with foundational moves such as waist hooping, hip hooping, and halos (spinning the hoop with your hands above the head), and your calorie burn starts at 420 calories an hour!
What should I wear?
Hooping is all about movement and your clothing should allow freedom for that. We have found that the best thing to hoop in is stretchy jeans, yoga pants, or other natural fiber material. Try not to wear synthetics such as nylon or rayon, as the hoop tends to slip, making the learning process more difficult.
What do you mean by, "Hoop Your Way to Health and Happiness"?
Hooping is a fun activity for generations to enjoy together. Because at the Beginning Level it is a non-impact exercise, people of all ages will enjoy Hooping. Even pregnant and post-partum women can enjoy Hooping. Once you begin to hoop, you may enjoy being a part of a community of individuals we call "Hoopers". It's like having a membership to a special club. Get to know other Hoopers in your area! Before you know it, you will have opened yourself up to a whole new experience; one with its roots in ancient times but with a whole new "twist".
You may find yourself hesitant at first, but once you've learned that first move, you may find yourself addicted to practicing and mastering each move. You may notice an increase in energy, or that you have become slimmer. You may find yourself more joyful and less stressed out. You may even find yourself more creatively self expressed, both in the hoop, and in other areas of your life!
Hooping is beautiful, transformative and mesmerizing. It can be used as a tool for fitness, meditation, or playing. More than anything else, it is FUN. We invite you to begin your own journey, learn to Hoop with Cerceau Hoop Fitness and Hoop Your Way to Health and Happiness!
