Hula Hoopers Unite!

ValleyHooper

Ok everyone I created a group on here since the other hula hoop groups seem to be inactive.

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/119253-hula-hoopers-unite

I hope to see you there. Invite your friends too. Let's do this!!!

Hi! I am so interested in hooping and want to get started but I don't know where to begin.

What kind of hoop should I get and where do I get it?
What kind of hoop should I get to maximize my workout?

Thanks!

I just started too, @Namasayyy - I bought a 3# weighted hoop at Meijer (Walmart, Target, etc). There are YouTube videos out there too.

This is the hoop I have. It is perfectly weighted for fitness, and perfect adult size. I tried a hoop bought at local sporting goods store, but it was too heavy and bruised me too much.

It's beautiful time of year for it! But I'm no where near ready to do this outside! I keep hiding in the living room.
