How to Hula Hoop

Here's an easy two-step lesson

1. Make sure you have the right size of hula hoop!

If you're using a kid-sized hoop, forget it! Most hula hoops that you can buy at stores are designed for children.

You'll save yourself a lot of heartache (and gain a lot of fun) if you use an adult size hoop to begin with.

Exerhoop Hula-hoops are also being used and enjoyed by children as young as 5+ years old.

Our own 5, 6 & 9 year old grandchildren enjoy hooping. See the photos on the Gallery Page.

2. Put one foot in front of the other, and shift your weight

Proper technique helps you get the most out of your hooping workout.

To begin hooping, stand with one foot in front of the other.

Stand in the middle of the hoop and rest the inside of the hoop against your back.

Hold the hoop in both hands with your arms at your sides.

Turn your torso to your right to "wind up" the hoop.

Quickly toss the hoop to the left and rock your hips forward and backward to keep the hoop spinning.

If this direction does not work well, try tossing the hoop to the left or changing your lead foot.

Easier said than done?

Be patient!

It can take a while to get the hang of it don't give up!
