Hula-hooping

[maryellen]

remember to keep one foot in front of the other when you start. i was stunned when I tried to hula hoop up for the first time in 40 years to realize how hard it was--it seemed so easy when I was a kid. w a bit of practice, you'll be able to do a minute.

KC, you should've picked one up when you were working Bonnaroo!

They're so popular at the outdoor concerts - but the only place I've ever seen them for sale is from the itinerant vendors at said concerts. Keep thinking I'll buy one and learn to use it...

I'd get one of the take-down ones, that come in four pieces.

I never did hula hoop as a kid, but I'm hearing echoes of my jump rope ability. I'm lucky to jump for a minute, now. When we were kids we jumped all through recess! But then, we took half-jumps, where adult jumping is "hot pepper."

Anyway, with practice I'm sure you can do it.

There's hooping forum! There's even a great "how to" section that tells you how to make an adult size hoop.


Edit: I got so enthralled with the idea of Hula Hooping that I didn't think of this until now...what 4* hotel makes its guests perform circus tricks to get a better rate?! I'm taking away a star.

Still, I'd probably want to stay there!
