Can you hula hoop?

I can't:eek:...and I'm a dork when it comes to dancing too:D:o

[Brandi]

Your not a dork! Just maybe have two left feet!
I can hula hoop still! We do it at my friends house with her kids hoops. It is fun but we look pretty silly. That women looks like fluid when she does it!

Yahoo fitness is five years (or more) behind on this trend. The weighted hoops are fun and can be used to do other things besides just hooping around your waist.

Are you bi-hoopual? can you hoop it in a left circle as well as a right circle?

[Tuckervill]

I hoop both ways. ;)

The weighted ones always make me feel as if I will have a ring of bruises around my rib cage, but so far, nothing is showing up although there are occasional sore spots. We use them in boot camp, as part of a circuit.

I'm an expert at vertical hula hooping...I put it on my hip, start gyrating, and watch it descend...to the thigh, the knee, the calf, the floor...

I guess this means I'm hoopually challenged:rolleyes:

I'm with ya, Mr. S! I used to be able to do it - back in the day - but not any more....

Even as a kid, I couldn't do many hula revolutions.

Last summer we attended a wedding. As part of the 'game' to kiss bride or bridegroom, guests were invited during reception dinner to go up and try hula hooping for several revolutions.

needless to say only the late 20's and under crowd dared to go up. ;) But out of 10 people, there was 1 excellent hula hooper. It was a fun kind of thing actually..even for folks who didn't do it, brought back memories.
