    I bought a hula hoop as i loved it when I was a kid. Turns out I can't do it any more. I keep trying occasionally and very annoyingly my husband is pretty good at it but I can't make it turn out more than about 8 times before it falls on the floor.

    I love hula hooping I have a fitness one which is heavier than the ones I had as a child. I bought it because on the wii fit there is a hula hoop exercise (obviously you don't use a hoop just the actions) and I got a six pack from it. Unfortunately I don't have much room to swing my hoop so barely use it anymore. Keep up the good work, its a fun activity x

    Did you use a regular child's one? I tried using my nieces and couldn't do it but once I tried a weighted one I realized I could still do it. Not sure where you get a weighted one as I only borrowed it from a friend but its worth a shot

    I also suggest looking into hoop dance, but maybe I am the only one who gets bored just bopping with the hoop around my waist.
