Any Hula Hoopers Out There?

[chalpm]

Just before my recent move to TV, I started working with a hula hoop. Found it to be great exercise and easy on the joints. Hoop was made and weighted for me. I would love to continue but haven't heard of any such activities. I live in Collier but am willing to travel for this exercise. Is there anyone out there who could lead a class in hula hooping? I would be willing to do the paper work and any organizing if someone could lead????:MOJE_whot:

I have a hoop and the most exercise I get is picking it up when it drops every 20 seconds. I would love to join a class but I sure don't think anyone would want me leading it! I live in Sanibel.

I tried today In My gym, after the work out, the new hoops are rainbow coloured and weighted, and knobbly! I managed 12 spins :) I am useless, but will keep trying :)

Gosh there has to be someone out there who can lead a group. I can hoop pretty good but that's all and I know there's more to it.Check it out online..great exercise! You can burn up to 600 cal/hour using this thing..please ask around! 716-549-6176 :coolsmiley:

I have a weighted hula hoop too! I meant to use it everyday, but I guess I'm a "group" kinda person. Haven't been very dedicated to the workout. We could do it together at my house or yours, and maybe more would join us.
I am in Sanibel.

Connie...Give me a call. Id love to work out w someone. Either your place or mine...anyone else who wants to join us would be welcome. I know some people said they have hoops but cant do it...we could help with that????
Yay!! Look forward to hearing from you.716-549-6176 Paula:thumbup:

I would like to hula hoop too! I have two hoops at home, a smaller and a bigger one. I hula hooped for about 5 minutes and was out of breath! I believe it is good exercise as well but I need to get in shape. I would like to hula hoop with others. I'm in Sanibel.

[chalpm]

Since two of you are in Sanibel and I'm in Collier I'll travel up North to meet with both of you. I've found that hooping to music makes it more enjoyable. Can we meet at either of your homes or in your rec center? Anyone else? Would love to get a whole group...maybe we could learn some fancy moves??? Paula 716-549-6176 :agree:

We are meeting at my house on Tue. Oct 29 at 10am to work out with hula hoops.

Anyone who is interested in this sport is invited to come.

Please send me a pm for my address. I am in Sanibel.

Where do you get the weighted hoops? I used to use one when I worked out a curves in NJ and was pretty good and yes, it is great exercise!

I actually ordered mine, but I imagine you can get them at a sporting goods store or a Play it Again Sam. Not sure where they are around here. Just google it.

Went to my Curves gym today, and tried the knobbly hoop again :) today I managed 17 rotations! So getting better :) the following 6 attempts, not so,good :) but Friday, I will try again.
It is a hoot, everyone trying, most succeeding. One day........

Just a tip - A heavier hoop i.e. over 2lbs can be hard on the neck and other joints plus cause bruising. A lighter weighted hoop makes it easier to manipulate and dance with.

Mine is 1.5lbs and comes apart for travel. It was about $60.

[chalpm]

Please note time change on Tues from 10:30 to 1:00 Paula

[peggyb]

A great big "Thank you" to Paula for getting us started, and to Connie for opening your home to all of us crazy hula hoopers. Great first day...looking forward to many, many more!

[Happinow]

Thank you Connie and Paula for getting the hula hoop group together today. It was fun! I think I need to get into the 21st century and get a new hula hoop!
