I've been hula hooping for a while and have learned some awesome moves - plus I've been toning and losing weight while I hoop to my favorite music. It has truly been an astonishing experience, and I highly recommend it to everyone who does not love traditional exercise or is looking for a way to break out of the norms.

Truly, this is not only a great work out, but it is fun and so great to get to the new levels. My mind also appreciates the challenge, I've noticed.

Any questions about hula hooping?

I finally learned to hoop last year... hrm, maybe 2 years ago...

I didn't know there were special "moves" to it, seems kind of just round-and-round, what else can you do?

I've tried but have buckley's of keeping the hoop going. Can't even remember if I could do it when I was kid. All I do remember is that I could throw it so it came back to me.

To keep the hoop going, you have to push it front and back, and if it is going counter clockwise, you'll need to push more with your left side (and opposite for clockwise.)

There are a lot of moves you can do with a hula hoop. It can go around the waist, the hips, up the chest, over the arms, around the neck and shoulders, around the knees, and over the head. It really is a challenge to keep it going and to figure out how to move the body in new ways to succeed. It's a mind-body melder, and an inspiring one at that.

Here is a good link to some cool hula hoop videos: How to do a one should hooping hula hoop move | Wonder How To

This link starts with the coolest "hula around the shoulder only" move, but there are more videos on the sides to start with.

I do know the Burn Unit!!!! They are way awesome! Especially the fire balls they make.

Have fun, everyone!!!!
