3. Warnings
• Consult your doctor before commencing training, particularly if you have any pre-existing medical
conditions such as diabetes, spinal complaints or heart problems, but also if you are new to exercising or
have not been active for a prolonged period.
• We recommend that you warm up before each workout to help prevent muscle and tendon injuries.
• Start by exercising for five minutes per day for the first two weeks. After that, gradually increase your
workouts to ten minutes a day.
• Do not exercise with the hoop for more than 20 minutes at a time.
• Start your workout at least half an hour before or after meals.
• You may experience bruising when exercising with a fitness hoop for the first time. That will subside after a
few weeks. Seek medical advice if you experience severe pain or if the bruising persists.
• Please also consult your doctor if you have any issues with your lumbar spine, neck or back.
• The hoop is not suitable for children or pregnant women.
• Make sure you have plenty of space and your workout area has a flat floor to prevent the hoop from getting
damaged by a sharp object.
• Clean the hoop with a damp cloth but do not use any aggressive cleaning agents. If in doubt, test on a
small area first.
4. How to exercise with the hoop
A. Hold the fitness hoop with both hands and press it against your lower back.
B. Take a firm stance with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Your body should feel relaxed, stable and
balanced.
C. Give the hoop a good swing with both hands in your preferred direction so the inside of the hoop rolls
around your body. Repeat this a few times to get a feel for the circular movement.
D. Put the hoop aside for a few minutes and just practice the hip movements. Let your pelvis circle left, back,
right and forward. Do these circular hip movements a few times to get in the swing of it.
E. Now combine the movements from C and D: When you turn the hoop to the left, bring your hips to the left
to strike the hoop. Then rotate it from the back over to the right and forward so that your hips follow the
movement of the hoop.
F. Try to keep the hoop circling your hips for as long as possible. If it falls on the floor, pick it up and try again.
