    I have become addicted with hula hooping - or moreso - the prospect of hopping.

    I can keep it going around my waist for time on end.....

    Just have yet to do any tricks.

    Any suggestions on what tricks to start with?

    Also - I'm trying to figure out WHY my hoop is ALWAYS slanted when I'm hooping.

    I AM a bigger girl - but am very weak - and I wonder how in the heck I'm going to do these tricks barely able to twirl the hoop with my hand!

    My hoop is about "nipple" height - and i'm about 4'3" - BUT I weight about 193 right now. My hoop is made of 3/4" 160 psi, so - could going down to 100 psi be more beneficial?

    I LOVE hooping - just can't wait to take it to the next level.

    I got a hoop about three days ago (it was a birthday gift) and I just love it. (I was able to get it custom, Slytherin colours) I can't really do tricks yet, just hoop around my waist a little bit. Every once in a while, when the hoop falls, I can hoop around my shins for a few seconds. I'm just excited to have it, really. I've watched quite a few fitbloggers hoop, so I'm still in "OMG This is what my interweb heros are doing" mode. I love my hoop though, superhooper.com's where I got it.

    Bump....I so want to do this but I've never been able to hula hoop....I guess practice makes perfect!

    I just learned and I'm 43 lol the key for me was to minimize the movement and use my core not my hips. Before I was whipping my hips like a tornado and the hoop would fall to the floor :grumble: . Now I can work it baby!! :bigsmile:

    I would say you are right on with your hoop size. 3/4" PSI 160 is great. If you go with PSI 100 it is noticably lighter and I think the 160 will help you. Hoop right and left and just keep practicing. It will click and you'll know when it does. Good luck! :wink:

    I have one. I don't know the size but it's pretty big and its 2.5 lbs. I love it and try to do it a few times a week. I can do it for a long time now.

    The movement is back and forth. Front to back.

    Most people make the mistake of making circles.

    Wait...what?

    I ordered a really cute decorated hoop from etsy after reading this thread :) It's weighted too. I can't wait for it to come in :smile:
