Hoopin' Fun: My Friend's College Hula Hoop Class

[Jo-la-la]

My friend just started taking a hula hooping class at her college. They use oversized hoops, not the type that you would find at your local stores.
I made myself one and I am HOOKED on Hoopin! So fun! And apparently it's a great work out for you tummy and buns!

Any other hoopers out there?

I have never heard of that. Must be great for your waist too. It does sound like fun. Where do they offer this? Do you do it to music?

I've just started. And you have to start out slow! After doing it for maybe 20 minutes total one day (5 minutes, 5 minutes there) my waist was sore (felt bruised but it wasn't). But now I'm on day 4 and the soreness has gone away.

My friend is taking a class at her college, I'd never heard of it before either. I will start doing it to music and I'm planning on learning tricks. I'm going to make my friend teach me what she learns and there are some great websites that I have found too.

I love it! And as a kid and even teenager I never could hoop. The larger hoop size looks a little daunting at first but it actually makes it easier!

It's my new favorite thing :balloon::blushing:

This reminds me of a funny night our church did a couples "luau."

I won the hula hoop contest. I think I had an unfair advantage though because I was about 7-8 months pregnant. lol

That was about 3 years ago and I haven't "hooped" since.

Can I buy a hoop at a sports store like Sportsmart? I could never hula hoop as a kid either. I had a small one I used to swirl on my arm. but since the newer ones are easier i might give it a try.

I haven't seen them. There are a lot of hoop websites that you can order from, just google hula hoop. My friends have been going everywhere looking for them and not finding them.

I've been making mine. But depending on where you live it's hard to find the tubing.

Yea, I've never been able to hula hoop before. The larger size hoop really helps! I look like a pro now
