I´ve seen some weighing 2.5, 4, 5 lbs. Can you recommend one for me? I'm a 5´1 ft. beginner.

Get the 2.5 lb one. It is safer. I have heard of major bruises with the heavier one, including damage to internal organs. In fact, we bought the lighter one and it says to not do more than 3 minutes at a time while beginning.

I have a 3lb hula hoop. I am 5.4" and have been doing this awhile. I think 2.5 would be a good place for you to start !

As a beginner start with the lowest weight...otherwise it can be very difficult on your back. Lowest weight and just a few reps the first several days to see how it will effect you....then slowly up your workout. You can always move up to the next weight once you've mastered this one. Have fun!!

Google Troo hoops (some company thats been making hoops 4ever, and what Obama's wife has). They have all kinds of fit charts and advice that I noticed there..maybe something to read for myself one day:)Im a fan of heavier hoops, though I must wear a thick skirt I made to use my 4 pound hoop without painful bruising. This might be because I don't have any fat to speak of so no cushioning. Troo doesn't make hoops heavier than about 1.5 pounds.This 2.5 pound hoop is a nice weight for me personally, and I don't have to wear a heavy skirt with it.I have a 5'5" friend, absolute beginner, who likes this 2.5 pound hoop a lot but mostly uses her 1 pound LED hoop.I would love an LED hoop of this size and 2.5 pound weight.

I have a 3lb. Hula. I've had it for about a 2 months. I am 5'7 and immediately wished I had ordered a heavierweight. The 3lbs. feels almost like nothing to me. I do LOVE the workout though!

I ordered the 2.5 pound not knowing that what I really needed at 5'6" would be around 4 pounds. The 2.5 pound weight seems feather light with no weight at all - wish I had ordered a heavier weight initially.

I am 5"2 and I think the 2.5 lb hula hoop would be the best for you. The heavier hula hoops are usually wider in diameter and even the smallest light hula hoops you can find are huge in diameter for a short thin person. If you are fairly thin and want the hula hoop as a fun way to exercise I'd go with 2.5 pounds as they are easy to rotate and you can increase intensity by simply tightening your core more. If you want a more intense workout and want it to be difficult to spin the hula hoop around your waist you can go with the heavier ones but they may be almost as tall as you are.

I am 5' and bought the 2.5 lb one. This seems just right for a fun workout for me.

Weight should be available on Amazon, but they are amazingly light. Length depends on your height--supplier needs to know your height and they adjust accordingly. If I remember correctly they sent me an email requesting my height. These are very light--Iwas simply delighted at their weight. This summer I took these backpacking. I have always used some staff (home made, wooden) or the adjustable aluminum ones. In either case, I would frequently find myself simply carrying it rather than using it. These are so light, I forget I'm using them.

My wife and I together weigh 325 lbs, and it seemed just fine, in an initial 'tryout'. This is the third AeroBed I have owned over the years, and at one point in my life I weighed 270, and it was ok, but in time a slow leak developed in the 'pump' location. I prefer a firm feel, and I may have over-inflated the mattress! If you have any 'heft' at all, I think you made a good choice with Aerobed.

Mine was a 3/4 weight but handles a 5 wt line nicely. A 4wt line would work nice also.

I would NOT recommend this set up for that size fish! I had my hands full with fish under 5 pounds!See my review on this combo for information on the reel. The rod is great, but I would buy a stiffer one for 40 to 100 pounders. PS--where do you fish? I wanna go there! -Edog1955

I have trouble going over 100. Dead on when it does weigh but if you're looking to weigh more than about that maybe consider something else

hey Kim, I'm shooting at 52lbs. seems to fly well. Very close to my field tips.

I purchased the heaviest available. I'm still pretty new to the sport but with a few exceptions, it is my understanding that more experienced players will almost always go for the heavier ones.

I got on the scale last night (not pretty), and the paddle weighs 2.6 lbs. TOTAL. Not a heavy paddle at all.

Not quite 5 pounds. I'd say 4 pounds comfortably, a bit more if you're feeling daring. ;)

I had the local fly shop/ guide check it out, he said definatly a four weight. I run four weight WF shark skin and it casts like a dream.

Good to hear from someone who owns one. Our current one weighs 7 lbs and is getting too heavy for us to handle. Thanks

I would not recommend for that weight, iam just 200 and I feel I am about at the limit. nice chair for the money. mine replaced an electric lift and I wore that out with to much up and down (my feelings) I as satisfied..........

I weigh a little less than 200 lbs and this kayak handles my weight without a problem. I don't have any experience with other kayaks but I'm confident this 12 footer would handle larger users as well as any of them. Getting in and out is the tricky part with any kayak but I have found the Riot to be really stable. I would suggest checking out the various websites that give tips on best methods for getting in and out of kayaks and how to best operate them. Before making your final purchase decision I would also recommend trying out various kayaks. Rent a couple and see how they perform. I hope this information helps.

I used a 15.4 pounder and it was a mistake. Too heavy for this type of workout. I ordered a 10 pound and maybe will order a 7 now that I have read all the above suggestions!

Farthest I've gone was 95. The hooks handled the weight fine. It's very awkward using them. If you're maxing at 125, I'd strap in some 80s to get used to the feel of them. The size of a 125 would offer very little room for error when you rack them. Haven't used them lately due to injury, they weren't the cause though. They have some negatives to them, but I still think they are useful. Also, the added grip thickness is something to think about as well. I do think they will handle the weight.

I've put 150lbs. It seem to be fine to me. If you plan to put more then that I would get an Olympic bar. The diameter of the bar is bigger for a better grip.
