Thank you so much! In many cases I prefer to make videos with people who can't hula hoop so I can teach them in the video. Teaching someone who can already demonstrate it doesn't create a real experience for people watching. I feel a lot of people can benefit more from watching someone who is more at their skill level learning so they can see someone else's mistakes and learn what adjustments to make to be successful. I'm glad you can see this in the video.
I love that Abby is MY size *AND* NOT already a pro at this! This video makes me feel SO much better about my first (failed 🙄) attempts and has given me TONS of ideas for how to be more successful going forward which has give me more confidence and inspiration to keep trying and working at it! THANK YOU!!!!!!
THANK YOU!! She practically has my body, AND she struggled the exact same way I was. Its like it was made for me XD Thank you for putting out a legit beginners guide!
Are you able to make this work for you, now that you've had it over a month? I just got mine about a week ago and still can't manage to keep it spinning more than 10 times. I've been doing the 10 spins multiple times a day thinking that will still add up even though I can't seem to get it right to do a full 20-30 minutes at one time. Any tips you have would be super appreciated! Going to try the ones from this video too.
@mandiwolfe6631 Honestly, you just have to find your groove. I thought mine was broken, and then my mom, who is smaller, tried took links out and did it just fine with little effort. I just think with my size, I just had to try harder and not give up. Also be careful what clothes you wear. Loose clothes will get stuck in your hoop and cause it not to work. 😒 Had that problem, too. Lol
I love this video. I have been trying to get the ball to keep moving. This morning, I was finally able to keep it going, and can now work up to 30 minutes at a time.
I have to say a huge THANK YOU for the production of this video. I was struggling really badly this morning trying out this hoop for the first time...without this video I would NEVER have been able to use this. The tips were extremely helpful and worked! Thank u so so much!
Great video and instructions. Just got my hoop today, there were no instructions included, fitted it to my waist and Tried gyrating in circles with no luck before finding this video. Added the extra link, fitting towards hips and followed your moves. Wow, the difference and tells me why I could never keep a hula hoop going.
Oh my god! I got it to work!!! All I needed was music to keep the beat to. I think I was just slowing down with the weight... I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. Lots of bouncing with the knees. Excited I didn't waste money. Well I guess that depends how much I use it lol...
I loved this tutorial and the options for string length and hoop sizing. While practicing along with the video, I found that if I add a little more movement, like a bounce, it keeps the ball moving
This is SOOOOO helpful!!! Abby is an amazing sport. Thank you both so much!! I bought one of these and can’t do it. You’ve given me many things to try!
I'm so glad I found this video! I ordered one few days ago and didn't have a single clue on how to use it. Arrived yesterday and can't even make it go 2 rounds. I tried making it longer and now I have used it for 30 mins straight! (with few stops at start) It's definitely harder doing it clockwise. I suggest trying both techniques at first. My counter clockwise was the 1st and my clockwise was the second. If you're like me, change you're feet position for the 1st technique half-way just for balance. The funny thing was the bumps felt like it was massaging my stomach 😂 It was fun!
It may be a year old, but thank you so much for this video! My partner and I are going to give this a go, and it was great to see it demonstrated by a beginner! Loads of helpful tips and advice. Abby, you were AWESOME!
I suppose I bought a fake too, it doesn't have the black part where you can add or remove links. The ball isn't weighted, but it is in 2 pieces, so it can be opened and something heavy put in there, like nuts and bolts. Mine needs to be taped shut, but it seems it will work like the one in the video. I couldn't get it going, so found this video. I hope I have success this time!
Thank you for this video, I bought this because I kept seeing it in TikTok and wanted to give it a go. Very hard to get started, so this showed me everything I needed to know 😀
I seriously needed this video. Thanks! I had to make the string longer. I was able to do it (switching direction occasionally) for 30 minutes straight! I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to use this cool device. Thanks a bunch!!
Watched this last night as bought my sway hoop yesterday. Brilliant instructions, thank you so much . Spent 5 mins trying to get it going with limited success. Then lowered sway hoop to my hips and went in reverse direction. Managed to get it going for 5 mins at a time then 10 mins. Best 40mins exercise ever.😊
just got mine yesterday and it was too loose. today, took two vertebrae out and much easier, got it going longer than yesterday...thank you for the tips...going to love this workout.
Thanks for the ideas. I tried to get this to work and felt like a klutz. Now I can get it around for several minutes and feel it. Can't wait to keep practicing and getting a work-out in with this tool.
I tired using a traditional hula hoop and it just was not working for me. I just purchased this and it is such a vast improvement! Thank you so much for the product and the instructional video looking forward to using this more !
That was great - I am a size 18/20 and just got mine after a few tries I thought I am going to send this back. But you gave me lots of hints and already I can tell it is a workout.
That's great. If you want support and to share your progress with others, I recommend joining the smart hoop group on facebook. The link is in the description.
Thanks so much!! I was beyond frustrated trying to figure it out myself. I have 48" hips right now, and it's most comfortable and easier to do with it on my hips. Once I got the rhythm, I felt like a kid again, experiencing the moment I knew I had 2 wheels on a bike under control!! Thanks man!!
Thank you so much for this extremely helpful and comprehensive tutorial. After watching, I went from 5-10 revolutions to a high of 60 at once! Whoo hoo! I took one link out and used the rocking motion. I notice the way you throw the weight to start is important too. Now that I did 60, I know I can do this, I just have to practice. Thanks again!!
THANK YOU for this breakdown. I was getting so frustrated starting out with my hoop and nothing I did could keep it moving. Ironically the stance you showed works best for me as it's once I've done practicing shotokan karate. Also thank you so much for the tip on LENGTHENING the cord, not shortening it.
I love that you mentioned adding string to put the weight farther away. The smart hoop I have isn't adjustable and I am really struggling because the weight is only about 12" away. I was about to toss it in the trash but now I have new hope! Thank you so much!!!
I'm so grateful for this video! I just got my smart hula hoop and was struggling to get it started. Lots of go pointers here. I did find, after some trial and error that I could strengthen both sides if I switched direction every time I stopped hooping and, when I changed direction, I would switch my lead foot as well. Helped a lot!
I just got my smart hula hoop yesterday and tried it last night. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing but came across your video so I hope this will help me. I am very uncoordinated.. LOL.
These techniques and strategies are mainly geared for the people who really struggle to get it. If people have spun a regular hula hoop before, it's likely someone can use a smart hula hoop without problem.
I canNOT thank you enough!I ordered the damn thing,waited 2 plus months & can't even get it to go around more than 6 times!I've been so discouraged that I almost gave up.i hope you're getting the results you wanted!
It was hard for me at first too! Until I got the rhythm down! Did you try again yet?? I can't wait to hear about your results! If you like our videos there are more with me on Hoopsmiles' Channel as well as mine! I'd love to have you see them!😊🦋❤🦄🌠🌈💕
@@absolutelyabbey143 I can't thank you enough!Once I stopped trying to swing my hips around-like a deunk belly dancer- & started rocking back and forth with less hip exaggeration I can get it & keep it going!!!!Had it not been for the support & suggestions from both you & hoopsmiles,I would have said screw it & tossed it with the Thighmaster(kidding).But now I am actually excited about this,thanks to you guys!I hope you're well &vhaving tremendous success on your journey!
Just ordered one and this video has made me feel a lot better about using it properly without making me feel uncomfortable looking at unrealistic 'staged videos!
That was great! When I was first looking into learning to Hula Hoop, I considered one of these. But after watching your beginner videos on regular hoops, I went with that. You made learning to Hula Hoop so easy! I can't believe it took me a lifetime to finally learn how, but thanks to you, I did! I might try one of these some day, but I really love using a regular hoop, so for now I will stick with that. And thanks Abby! It was nice to see you again!
Same I like regular ones but I'm going to look at some smart hula hoops I'm really good at regular hula hoops so I'll stick with them for now but I'll consider a smart Hula hoop
Thank you so much for this video great information very well presented love the way it looks at different options length of string and position of hoop im the same size of the lady using the hoop it was a delight to see someone not ultra toned and stick thin this has spurred me on without feeling as if it was an unachievable goal much love being sent to you both
OMG!!!🥰🥰🥰Thank you so much for this video. I bought this thinking this is a no brainer, I can do this in my sleep. NOPE, not so. I had no clue what to do with this when I took it out of the box.😂Thank God I found you on line!!
I just got mine this week and I was struggling to get it to keep turning. After I watched this video, I moved down one latch and extended the string, and boom! It worked. I felt the difference and moved the BALL not the hips. It worked! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for this video. I have been struggling with this, and I have the weight at its shortest distance due to space, and I understand now why it has been hard. I'll keep working at it until I can keep the weight going.
Thanks a lot for this video 🙏 I've just received my hoopster today and I've struggled so much. Then I saw your video and tatahhh.... it's working !!! Thank you so much for making this video 🤩🥰
Mills, I know right?! I really do like the regular one better! Will discuss more in a future video! Hoops and I have a schedule now!! Hee hee! Good news: More videos!! Not the best news: Hoops still has a bit of healing left before it'll be safe for him to hoop....but, hey, we get to hang out more which is always awesome!
@@absolutelyabbey143 Abbey, I'm so glad you're recovering and can help him out with the content in the meantime! I had a herniated disc (but no surgery) and can't even imagine hooping with that or surgery. I hope he's healing well!
Great video. As others have said I had it all wrong with ring size and string length. I knew it couldn’t be that difficult. I watched your video, made a few changes and I’m away.
That was so great! I love how she made mistakes at the start like she doesn't know it at the start. I looked up at this video and I never knew what a smart hula was and I have a regular one. Im going to consider these they look very fun and interesting. For now, I am going to stick with the regular one and have a look. Thanks for this!
Thank you for doing this video!! I just received mine today and was ready to send it back because I could barely keep it going for 20 seconds!! Will adjust my stance and try some of your recommended techniques. Thank you again!!
These tips helped, I used to make the cord as short as possible as I thought it would be easier, but I couldn't keep swinging the ball. Made it longer and it went better, but still couldn''t do it for more than 10 rounds. I lowered the hoop to my hips and now I can keep swinging it. I wonder if has the same effect on the hip as having it on the waist, as I notice I'm barely moving my body to keep it turning. While with a regular weighted hoop I move my body a lot to keep it spinning
Thanks for this video. I received one a few days ago and was not able to figure out how to use it. I am going to try some of these techniques described in the video.
Hopefully it worked out! Also, I created smart hoop facebook group too, which I put a link in the description of this video. If you want to connect with others there and share your experience you can.
Several of the different vendors/manufacturers say they recommend moving your hips like a belly dance move, movíng your hips and abdomen in a circle instead of a side to side/back and forth motion. That seems to work better for me. It allowed me to adjust and get the hang of it a lot faster.
Honestly, the back and forth and side to side motions are jus to help you get started. If you use another method you like, that's fine. The goal is to good good enough so you can use all methods together and moving around with your smart hoop, instead of just only sticking to one method to hula hooping
I have this system and I like it. I started practicing today. I can only do one way, so I will have to practice going the other way as well. But, I do feel that it is quite noisy. Is there a way to 'turn the volume down'?
Well if you need support, I definitely recommend joining the Smart Hula Hoop Group on Facebook. Many people there post daily about their experiences and support each other in them. The link for the group is in the description of this video.
This is perfect and the exact hoop I need. I was concerned about getting one for my size, I’m a different shape but the same size pants. Thank you for this video 🥰
Just got mine and will start tonight, Starting with 22links and I had put the ball closer to me as its harder when it's futhure. Hope to get used it it and get it going! Will take time hut it's worth it. Does anyone know how long we should do This for?
I bought 2 of the weighted or smart hula hoops last year, so I would have all of the links I needed. I couldn't get it to work for me. Now I know what I was doing wrong.
Excellent video, thank you. Great for me to see someone with a similar body shape struggling as I did, to get this thing moving! Very helpful to have the suggestion of lengthening the string, which I will try. I was on the verge of giving up on my weighted hoop, but this video has renewed my interest and I will be giving it another go.
@@karenneugebauer2658 I do not have the option to adjust the string on mine either. Also I think I am smaller than this lady but my hoop is tight mid waist so there is no room to move it lower.
I just got one of these and I have the "hourglass" shape also I wasn't sure if put it above my belly, below, around? lol. i got one with a weight that can be adjusted which I wonder if that makes a difference too. thanks for the demo

I love that they made a REAL video that actually showed her struggling and not editing it like she got it first try! Great video.

Me too! I hate beginners videos that just look like they got it on the 1st try!
Riittteeee
I got mines yesterday and I was struggling.
Same I am just starting and it is so appreciated
I love that Abby is MY size *AND* NOT already a pro at this! This video makes me feel SO much better about my first (failed 🙄) attempts and has given me TONS of ideas for how to be more successful going forward which has give me more confidence and inspiration to keep trying and working at it! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Remember what fail stands for - "First Attempt In Learning"
I love this video, the fact that Abby struggled and wasn't a pro the first spin was everything we all need to see sometimes. Thanks!
Brilliant I was just about to give up until I found this video. Thank you 😊
This video was the ONLY way I could figure out how to use my smart hula! I am so thankful!
As someone who just purchased the hoop. I appreciate you showing her failure and her success🥰
Awesome!
THANK YOU!! She practically has my body, AND she struggled the exact same way I was. Its like it was made for me XD Thank you for putting out a legit beginners guide!
Thank you. Just got mine and I was having trouble. I'm a little over 400lbs and I have the 32 links and your video helped me. ❤❤❤

@@bridgetyancey6791 You just have to keep trying and watch out for baggy clothes that can get stuck in your hoop ring and stop it from spinning.
I love this video. I have been trying to get the ball to keep moving. This morning, I was finally able to keep it going, and can now work up to 30 minutes at a time.
I almost sent my hula hoop back until I saw this video. Thanks Abby and instructor.

I need to move Dr. said

Is it any good
@@diannadolly yup i just got it
This video helped me figure out what was wrong; apparently, I bought a fake. The "weight" has no weight. I tied on a hand weight, and now I can do it!
I suppose I bought a fake too, it doesn't have the black part where you can add or remove links. The ball isn't weighted, but it is in 2 pieces, so it can be opened and something heavy put in there, like nuts and bolts. Mine needs to be taped shut, but it seems it will work like the one in the video. I couldn't get it going, so found this video. I hope I have success this time!
THANK YOU! I was able to do 15min without stopping for the 1st time using the tip of putting it lower 😁❤️
Thank you for this video, I bought this because I kept seeing it in TikTok and wanted to give it a go. Very hard to get started, so this showed me everything I needed to know 😀
I’m soooo glad I’m not the only one struggling to keep it going!

I seriously needed this video. Thanks! I had to make the string longer. I was able to do it (switching direction occasionally) for 30 minutes straight! I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to use this cool device. Thanks a bunch!!
Awesome to here! What's great about the string, as you get better you can make the string shorter eventually until you don't need it anymore.
Can you please explain why having the string shorter or longer makes a difference?
Watched this last night as bought my sway hoop yesterday. Brilliant instructions, thank you so much . Spent 5 mins trying to get it going with limited success.

Just ordered one and this video has made me feel a lot better about using it properly without making me feel uncomfortable looking at unrealistic 'staged videos!
You didn’t address how to keep it going. Your model was able to get it started but couldn’t keep it going which is the problem I’m having.
Shorten the length of the weight, not lengthen! He’s making it harder for her - not easier

Great job!
Thank you for this video! I had a lot of fun after using your tips and figuring out how to keep the weight swinging :)
This was great thanks, especially learning I can adjust the ball closer or further away, didn't know that.
I have been considering get one of these and I am so pleased to have come across your video.
Both of you are incredibly likeable. Love yalls smiles. Thanks for such an honest video and choosing a lady with curves!
Great video. As others have said I had it all wrong with ring size and string length. I knew it couldn’t be that difficult. I watched your video, made a few changes and I’m away.
That was so great! I love how she made mistakes at the start like she doesn't know it at the start. I looked up at this video and I never knew what a smart hula was and I have a regular one. Im going to consider these they look very fun and interesting. For now, I am going to stick with the regular one and have a look. Thanks for this!
I still can’t get it 😩
I can't either...I can't normal hula hoop either 😅🤣😭
I was able to use my hoop for the first time because of this! Thank you so much!
I use this for 2 months now and I love it ❣
Did you have trouble getting it to go around consistently?I just got it & get SO aggravated.
@@debbietusman3933 no not really. It took about 15 Minutes and then it worked. I really like it.
Have you seen a difference in your weight or size doing this for 2 months straight? I'm on my first day:)
@@gabyh.6850 ok.i will keep at it.Thanks!
Have you notice any difference?
Thank you for doing this video!! I just received mine today and was ready to send it back because I could barely keep it going for 20 seconds!! Will adjust my stance and try some of your recommended techniques. Thank you again!!
I'm glad I decided to look up this video because I too was going to send mine back.
Lube the bearings
Thank you, great video, especially seeing someone try it in real time. Well explained. 🎉
Thanks for the video. I used to be great using a Hulu hoop. I see on this thing have to adjust the ball
These tips helped, I used to make the cord as short as possible as I thought it would be easier, but I couldn't keep swinging the ball. Made it longer and it went better, but still couldn''t do it for more than 10 rounds. I lowered the hoop to my hips and now I can keep swinging it. I wonder if has the same effect on the hip as having it on the waist, as I notice I'm barely moving my body to keep it turning. While with a regular weighted hoop I move my body a lot to keep it spinning
Thanks for making this video I felt like such a dummy for not knowing how to do this!
Just got mine ! Opposite direction at the longest link that was the trick! Thank you !!
Thanks for this video. I received one a few days ago and was not able to figure out how to use it. I am going to try some of these techniques described in the video.
Hopefully it worked out! Also, I created smart hoop facebook group too, which I put a link in the description of this video. If you want to connect with others there and share your experience you can.
Just ordered mine, cannot wait. Great video! Thank you 🙏
Now im spinning it i just learned😮
Just got mines ❤
Several of the different vendors/manufacturers say they recommend moving your hips like a belly dance move, movíng your hips and abdomen in a circle instead of a side to side/back and forth motion. That seems to work better for me. It allowed me to adjust and get the hang of it a lot faster.
I tried that because the back and forth feels weird but I can’t keep my rotations up belly dancing 🥲
@@CadaverBelle It helped when I tightened my tummy muscles. 😊
Honestly, the back and forth and side to side motions are jus to help you get started. If you use another method you like, that's fine. The goal is to good good enough so you can use all methods together and moving around with your smart hoop, instead of just only sticking to one method to hula hooping
Awesome to know 👍
Thank you I was struggling but thanks to you I have the knack xxx
Nice!!!
I have this system and I like it. I started practicing today. I can only do one way, so I will have to practice going the other way as well. But, I do feel that it is quite noisy. Is there a way to 'turn the volume down'?
I want to buy one Ne but not sure how many links I need.
Just found your tutorial and I can finally hula hoop! Thank you.
Wonderful!
Thank you thank you! I was ready to return it until you helped me!!!! I love it.
Well if you need support, I definitely recommend joining the Smart Hula Hoop Group on Facebook. Many people there post daily about their experiences and support each other in them. The link for the group is in the description of this video.
Thank you. I am old and never learned to hula. Great job. Thank you for teaching me😻
I got mine on the 1st try. It's really easy. But it's definitely a workout.
I absolutely love it. Had a little trouble working with it the first day. But now a week later,I've got the hang of it.
That's great to hear!
Gives me hope
Thank you for this! I just got mine and could NOT figure it out!!
This is perfect and the exact hoop I need. I was concerned about getting one for my size, I’m a different shape but the same size pants. Thank you for this video 🥰
I love side to side, but that probably means I need rocking forward to backard more. Thank you for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Just got mine and will start tonight,
Starting with 22links and I had put the ball closer to me as its harder when it's futhure. Hope to get used it it and get it going! Will take time hut it's worth it.
Does anyone know how long we should do This for?
I bought 2 of the weighted or smart hula hoops last year, so I would have all of the links I needed. I couldn't get it to work for me. Now I know what I was doing wrong.
Thanks so much my hula hoops a bit different but it really helped me so much brill video thanks .amazing 😊
Excellent video, thank you. Great for me to see someone with a similar body shape struggling as I did, to get this thing moving! Very helpful to have the suggestion of lengthening the string, which I will try. I was on the verge of giving up on my weighted hoop, but this video has renewed my interest and I will be giving it another go.
I'm glad to hear it has given you some hope
I don't have the option of lengthening the ball. I can only get it to go around 4 times max.
@@karenneugebauer2658 same. I'm so freaking frustrated
@@karenneugebauer2658 I do not have the option to adjust the string on mine either. Also I think I am smaller than this lady but my hoop is tight mid waist so there is no room to move it lower.
I just got one of these and I have the "hourglass" shape also I wasn't sure if put it above my belly, below, around? lol. i got one with a weight that can be adjusted which I wonder if that makes a difference too. thanks for the demo
Such great hints. I just got one and I have sciatica. So I’m waiting to heal. Can’t wait 😜
Thank you. I had to get surgery for my sciatic because I had a herniated disc
