- Hi, my name is Ada and for this video,
for thirty days, we are gonna be using
a weighted hula hoop.
Why? Because why not.
- I just sort of wanted to do
something that was cardio based
that isn't running because I hate it
and I can't skip because I live on the third floor.
- You know, I go to the gym,
you know, you're on the cross trainer,
you're on the treadmill, you're just like,
What am I doing here?
With hula hooping, I'm going to be like
what am I doing here?
- I did really well with lockdown one,
I lost 9 kilograms.
(clapping)
And I subsequently have gained 8 back.
It's not about losing weight,
it's about making sure that I'm healthy.
- [Ava] So the rules are we're going to
be doing this half an hour every day for 30 days.
Disclaimer, I might give up. Sue me.
(funky music)
It's giving me giant centipede
intestine vibes.
- Okay, so, here I am.
- This is the weight.
I think it's like 5 kilograms.
It seems like a little plastic thing of ball.
What did I just say?
Plastic thing of ball?
Am I well?
(funky music)
(weight clicking)
(music stops)
(funky music resumes)
(music stops)
- Oh my god, this is way harder
than I thought it was gonna be.
- I genuinely can not see myself doing this
for half an hour.
(weight clicking)
How does anyone keep it going for half an hour though?
Nah. I'ma fix this.
(grunting)
- Come on. Okay, maybe,
I'm a clockwise girl. No, no.
(laughing)
- No.
I look absolutely nuts.
(weight clicking)
- I want to go home. I'm already at home.
I want to go home but I'm already at home.
What are my options?
(beeping)
- Okay, so I have just finished my half an hour.
That's not easy at all.
I think the longest I went without it dropping
was maybe about 2 minutes.
- It is Day 2.
- Okay, let's do this. No, I'm not wearing a bra.
I'm really sorry. I don't care anymore.
(funky music playing)
(weight clicking)
I'm a pro. Wow, look at me go.
- Okay, Day 3. Here we go again.
Still cocky.
(weight clicking)
- [Ada] Like, I wouldn't say I've really lost weight
but like, it's getting a bit looser.
You see what I'm saying?
- Almost dropped it but now I've figured out
how to get it back.
- So I'm currently on a staycation in Norwich
and I did say no days off so I have brought
my hula hoop with me.
Um, I'm doing a weighted hula hoop for 30 days.
- So, we're already pretty much
at the end of the first week.
Hooping is my new routine.
And I'm kind of enjoying it.
(funky music)
(crickets chirping)
- But you have to do positive affirmations.
You are great, you are well, you are whole,
you are fantastic and we're going to do this
all the way through.
(funky music)
(sneezes)
- This is like a million times easier now.
I just pop something on TV and I just go.
- Too Hot to Handle has come out so
I can look at hod bods and then look at mine
and then be like okay cool get your s*** together
Too Hot to Handle.
(slow music)
I've never not wanted to hoop more than today.
I'm so tired, I did not sleep well.
- It is week three.
I am doing the doing things but I tell you what.
It's mad boring.
- I made it up. I'm not going to film the hoop.
I'm sorry. It's here, just to prove that I'm about to do it.
But it's not going to be good, it's not going to be pretty.
It's going to be very painful to watch because
I need a fat nap, like, I'm so, it's literally like 6 pm.
- Another day. Cue the music.
(funky music plays)
- [Ava] I'm actually at my friends house this weekend
so I actually get to hula in the garden again.
What? What is this though? Why are leaves stabbing me?
I hate nature.
- What do I do with my hands?
- [Ava] Okay, so we're almost at the end of the week
and I just wanted to say over lockdown,
I started to develop a few folds, a few rolls,
like around the old here region.
Anyway, they've gone so like I didn't,
maybe I thought nothing was happening
but like s**** obviously happening.
(bongo music)
It's the final week.
- It is Day 22. This has not been an easy habit
to like keep up. There are some days where I just
can not be bothered and if I wasn't doing the video,
would I be able to keep up? I don't know.
- I'm sweating because I just did a workout.
Who am I? Doing too much. Oh my god.
Anyway, it's the final week and I feel great.
I'm thinking could I make this smaller?
Am I thinking I'm skinnier than I am?
That's going to be really embarrassing if it's not.
(TV playing)
- Oh damn. Right, so.
- Am I a new person? I think so.
Like, look at me, glowing and s***, anyway.
Let's get down to it.
- One of the blocks is gone and away we go, guys.
(weight clicking)
- Good morning, good morning, good morning.
Why am I singing? Good morning, I have a lot to do.
I'm going to hoop this morning.
- [Pip] Guys, it is the 11th of July,
which means it is the Euro 2020 final.
I have got people coming over at half six.
So she's going to do it in her dress.
This is the dedication, this is what it's come to.
Like, I care so much.
It did not come home but I still got to hula hoop.
- I've just come back from the gym, that's why I'm sweaty.
But I thought if I have all this motivation
might as well hoop right now.
Hello.
- Hi.
- Okay, guys, it is day 30.
- [Ava] We made it. We're at the end.
30 days. Weighted hula hoop. Was it worth it?
No, it wasn't, I'm going to be really honest,
it wasn't worth it.
- Everything's sort of went out the window
so I've actually gained weight in the last 30 days
but interestingly enough, I think I have a little bit more
of a waist and this is sort of corroborated by the fact
that I am now, I have taken off these many.
- It gets boring, you're just stood there, doing one motion.
Like even really doing the motion, you know,
it's not fun. Did I lose weight? Don't think so.
- It's an interesting bit of exercise to do in the house.
It's flat friendly, clearly. As long as you've
got enough space to go around.
- Was this a waste of 30 days? Maybe, maybe
