Hoop Girls will have a whirl of a time, getting happy and fit, while burning calories hooping it up to their favorite pop tunes using beautifully designed hoops. Our Fitness Hoops are handmade, slightly weighted, larger hoops, which makes learning hooping easier for beginner and challenging for the pro.

It improves fitness, stamina, endurance, strengthens Core and improves hand-eye co-ordination, proprioception, balance and motor skills. Hoop Girls is also a phenomenal stress reducer. The endorphins flow and the smiles widen with each new Hoop Trick they master. Visit American Counsel on Exercise (ACE) for more benefits of Hula Hoop exercise.
