As you all know I am working on losing weight. I walk as many days a week as I can but there are some days when it is simply hard to get out there and walk because of the weather. I also need to add some other conditioning in my exercise routine. Empower Fitness is helping me achieve this goal by allowing me to exercise on my schedule. I love their purposes and goals:
At Empower, we care about the total you—body, mind, and spirit. We know that you want it all; to be healthy, active, and physically fit. We know you want to look AND feel great.
Our passion for healthy living brings it all together—helping you incorporate fitness and wellness into your lifestyle in a way that is practical and fun.
Empower ISN’T about quick fixes or false promises. Empower IS about real-life solutions that incorporate fitness,workout routines, nutrition, and wellness expertise for women just like you, living full lives, who want to be the best they can be.
That is my kind of company! Empower Fitness sent me the Cardio Core & More Fitness Hoop to try out. The first thing I noticed is how heavy this actually is when you put it together. It weighs 3 lbs and the weighted sections can be moved around to customize your workout. When you can master everything evenly then you simply switch things around and burn more calories. I also love that I can break it down to store or take with me and it goes back together fairly quickly.
I will say that when I was growing up I was a hula hoop master but now I am a hula hoop dummy. I actually had a hard time getting going on this but once I did I could do a few seconds before it would fall and I would have to start all over. That may actually be more of a workout with all the bending up and down. Empower Fitness has a wide assortment of products that will make getting your Core (and other areas) into shape easier or you can even watch videos and workout guides! They are truly the total package company and I am so thrilled to have been able to connect with them as I start this journey.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I so want to try this but my husband is on me for cluttering up the house with my exercise gadgets. I used to hula hoop as a kid, but I have NO luck as an adult. I totally believe that it’s a great workout, if you can keep that hoop going!
I was in the same spot, Jean! Then I sold a bunch of old fitness junk on eBay and bought 2 hoops! One for work and one for home! 🙂
I want to try this so bad, hula hooping was so fun as a kid, and a lot of the times we’re told we’re too old to do things we used to do as a kid, so this is perfect.
i would actually exercise everyday if i had this (dont do it that often lol) great review!
I just saw a segment on tv about hula hooping, on Ellen. I know it’s a good workout in itself but did not know you could get them with weights built in like this. Me? I’d probably hurt myself doing this but my daughters would love it! I can see how it can get your hips and waist in shape!
I used to be SO great at this when I was little, I’ve tried as an adult and I couldn’t quite do it again. I’ve seen it now for fitness, and this post was a great way for me to use it to get in shape with a company that I trust based on your review 🙂 I can do it in my apartment quietly-it’s perfect!
I find it hard to exercise each day as well. This looks like fun.

i was never good at hula hoop when i was younger. maybe i am better now, but i can see how this is hard work and can help you lose some weight.
I loved hula hooping when I was a kid! It would be fun as exercise with some music 🙂
I was in a hula hoop contest 50 years ago. Bet you didn’t know they were that old! I’d rather do my 3x week swimming.
Wow, this is neat. I’ve never heard of this type of exercise before.
this is great im sure i wouldnt be able to hoola hoop like i did back then would make for a great workout
I absolutely loved hula hopping as a kid!!! This is a fun, great way to get in shape and makes you feel like a kid again. I’ve never heard of Empower, I’d love to try this!
I love Hula Hoops, but I am completely unable to do them now. I don’t know why, but I still love watching kids do it.
Oh gosh, I am so bad at hula-hooping! I know that it requires a lot of practice, but man, that hoop never seems to want to stay up! It definitely does strengthen your core muscles, so it’s a great way to get fit! I found it cool that you can move up in level with the addition of weights! And it looks easy to assemble and then disassemble when needed!
So funny I have never been good at the hula hoop. I would certainly burn some calories trying though.
i havent hula hooped since a kid 8 years old i am now 47 years old picked up this hula hoop and made a video of myself i did it nonstop for 3 minutes and 11 seconds on my way to a better body this is so fun this is true i love this hula hoop
