HOOPING CHALLENGE!

One of friends just started a 30/30 challenge for hula hooping. Now, she is an amazing hoop dancer who will put us amateurs to shame, but I thought it might be a good way for those who are getting into hooping to make it a habit, and maybe even learn some new moves.
30/30 means thirty minutes a day for thirty days. I cannot do that right now, but I can hoop everyday for a few minutes, so I am modifying my goal: Mine personal challenge is 30to30 --> I hope to be able to hoop for thirty minutes by the end of the challenge.

Wish I could hoop. Bought one to learn, but its in my closet, gathering dust. Just thinking of what could be achieved, I really should make an effort.0 -

It took me nearly two weeks of daily practice to be able to hoop continuously. But hey, picking the hoop up off the ground burns calories, too!
Come on, just a few minutes a day of trying!0 -

Mine is a weighted hoop. Its like line dancing I would love to be able to do it, but the dvd is sitting on the floor beside my bed. Just think of the calories one could burn hooping whilst watching a 1 hour show on tv.
Now that is multitasking.0 -
Hey Hoopers!!!!
I'm definitely down for this hooping challenge. Any hoopers/hoop dancers, please add me.0 -
Tomorrow is my fast day, but definitely on Saturday, I will spend at least 10 minutes a day and practice. I am going to start using my line dancing DVD as well.0

I'm in - I have a 3 lb weighted hoop in Ravens colors :-) I can do about 15 min a day, this is after the beginning bruising has healed :-)0
-
I love hooping! I have a weighted hoop so definitely going to do this. Does anyone know how many calories it burns?0
-
Good question. When I log, I usually just use the Wii hooping entry0

Hi Guys I hope you dont mind me joining your challenge, I have a weighted hoop and this is just what I need to get started. Nat :-)0

Oooh, yes please! I got a weighted one for Christmas and I need to be more rigorous with using it.
For Socajam - I fast 2 days a week, but I haven't noticed this having any impact on my hooping ability.0 -
I want to give this a try! I have a weighted hoop and DVD!0
-
Just finished 15 min while watching the news lol. Whatever works haha0
-
I am so glad we have so many participants!
I use the hula hooping entry in MFP for calories burned. I think it comes to about 400 per hour for my weight (220).0 -
Here is an article about the intensity of hooping (notice they are using arms and legs, not just waist hooping). My favorite quote: "We were surprised: you think of hooping as a recreational activity that kids do." Huh, when was the last time you swung on the monkey bars?! Kids burn a hecka lot of calories on the playground!!

I don't know if I will do 30/30 but I down to start trying. I have a weighted hoop and I also have a dance hoop. I only really use my dance hoop now. But maybe the weighted hoop would be good for core. I don't know really. I usually hoop about 20 minutes a day. I have done 30 minutes but not every day.0

There are quite a few of us on here who are really only committing to hooping every day.0 -
I would do this but I already hoop over 30 minutes every day haha. Maybe I could do a waist hooping 30/30 challenge.0

A little off topic, but are any hoopers on here going to Kinetic Fire in May?0
