I just taught myself how to hula hoop!

Livi_Loves_Pink

It only took me 19 years. :laugh:

It's small, and not weight related. (Though, my heart rate got up pretty high!) Still, I'm pretty darn happy about it. :bigsmile: It's always been one of the things that "I can't do." Now I can!

Now...if I can just get that darn whistling thing down... :grumble:

:bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

lol, congrats! Please... share your secret!!! I have never been able to hula hoop either!

Once I discovered its much more about the feet and legs than the hips/waist it all became much easier.

I just shift my weight back and forth from foot to foot, legs apart and one foot slightly forward, and then compensate with hips and waist.

I hope that made sense. Its hard to explain!

It's much more of a workout than I though it would be, actually. I'm breaking a sweat and everything!

So cool Livi! Ok, tomorrow I go buy a hoola hoop!!

If I can find one of those skipping thingys I am getting it too. You put it on one leg and skip over it. They were a blast

Livi! You're so cute!! :laugh:

Good for you! The hula hoop has been a nemesis of mine for years. I have some good hips too! Not sure what the deal is!! :grumble:

I could never hula hoop either, not even as a kid, yet a friend gave me a weighted one and it's surprisingly easy. Maybe the liquid inside makes it go better, not sure but I could do it for hours... but it makes me dizzy after a while.

Jeannie, they still have those skip it things, my kids had one a few years ago. Wish they still did, that would be a great workout!

Oh yeah, my kids have pogo sticks too, they make them for up to various weights for us bigger kids. It's a lot of work too!

Yay for you! And don't worry about the whistling. My hubby is a constant whistler...it gets annoying:laugh:
