How to choose the right hula hoop
Learning about hula hoops begins with choosing the right hula hoop. Contrary to what many think, there are a number of differences in hula hoops, some more and some less important in learning.
- Hula hoops are available in a wide variety of designs, which differ in terms of size, material and weight. However, they are all round.
- Hula hooping with heavier tires is a little more strenuous, which is why they are mainly used in the fitness area.
- Lighter hula hoops, on the other hand, are more suitable for dances and choreographies that also aim to perform small tricks with them.
- There are also extravagant models that have massage nubs or are filled with water. A simple plastic hula hoop is best for learning.
- As an adult, however, make sure to use a larger hula hoop with a diameter of more than one meter.
- With smaller hula hoops from the toy store, which are actually intended for children, circling is much more difficult and will be difficult for you as an absolute beginner.

This is how you learn the correct sequence of movements
When you have found the right hula hoop, you will hardly have any problems with it soon being elegantly circling your hips. However, you should still pay attention to some technical information.
- For the correct starting position, first take one foot forward from the normal stance and stay that way.
- Place the hula hoop around your waist and hold it with both hands so that it rests on your back against the sacrum or something over it.
- Make sure that the tire is not at an angle, but is exactly parallel to the ground.
- Now give the hoop momentum with both hands and immediately start moving your hips back and forth.
- Note that with the hula hoop you do not make circular movements with the hips, but actually only move them back and forth to make the hoop circle around the waist.
- As you rock your hips, try to adapt more and more to the movement of the hula hoop in order to find the right rhythm.
Don't let a few unsuccessful attempts frustrate you. That's just part of learning. If you follow the advice given, you will soon be able to hula hoop with a little practice.
