Have you tried hooping yet?
If yes, you might be struggling - in which case, please don't worry. You are not alone.
Some people can hoola straight away, others take a while, but! ……
Here is the thing. Anyone can hoola hoop. That's right, anyone. How do we know?
Because we have been teaching women to hoola for over 12 years and we never
had anyone who couldn't do it. (apart from this one time… read on )
We did have a lady, who walked out of the class (embarrassingly for us) - but that
was before she listened to our instructions. She decided hooping wasn't for her. And
that's ok.
But one thing we can promise you: If you want to hoola, you can!
The secret to success?
So, Let’s do the "Hoop Check".
1. Check Size: When you place the hoop vertically in front of your feet (see picture), it should reach your navel (or there about)
2. Check Weight: Anywhere between 700g and 1.2 kg.
3. Check Shape: Round (well preferably, but you do get extra points if you can hoola with a square hoop ;o) and smooth; some hoops have got a “massage aid” on the inside, which makes it brutal to hoop with.
If you are still not sure, or if you don't have a hoop yet, try our quiz and see which hoop is best for you.
If you've got any other questions, please get in touch: [email protected]
We look forward to hoola with you!
