Benefits of technology

[0010]The main objective of the invention is to provide an exercise hoop that has an adjustable centrifugal weight assembly so a centrifugal load of the exercise hoop may be adjusted to achieve excellent exercising effect.
[0011]An exercise hoop in accordance with the present invention comprises an outer loop, an inner loop and an adjustable centrifugal weight assembly. The inner loop is mounted rotatably in the outer loop. The adjustable centrifugal weight assembly is connected pivotally to the inner loop. The weight of the adjustable centrifugal weight assembly may be increased or decreased depending on different users. A beginner may use less weight and a skilled user more for tailored exercising.

Problems solved by technology

However the conventional exercise hoop has following defects.
The exercise hoop lacks positioning functions to securely position itself on the person's waist.
Therefore, beginners incapable of swaying correctly cannot stably maintain the exercise hoop on their waist and become frustrated easily.
Furthermore, due to even weight distribution of the exercise hoop, skilled users need not apply strenuous effort so cannot exercise efficiently without further adding weight to the exercise hoop.
Moreover, the exercise hoop constantly hits and rubs against the person's waist and may injure the waist.
