The Hula-Hoop turned 50 TODAY! :bday2you:

I have never in my LIFE hula-hooped!

I've ALWAYS thought I was missing out, because of it! I also can't skate or ride a bike either, though, so it's no real surprise!

I can't do it. Well, I can make it go around once or twice, but then it drops straight to the ground. I've always told people that I'd have to work extra hard at it because I have no hips... but I think mostly I'm just not coordinated enough. :p

Ha! Oh, how I loved my hula hoop when I was a kid! I'm sure it would be good exercise now, but the last time I tried using my niece's hoop, it was a rather pathetic showing. Maybe I need to get my own and practice, practice, practice!

I also loved it and was pretty good at it as a kid. I was heavy as a kid, and I used to think my success was a result of my early development of womanly hips. So, I was surprised when I tried my daughter's hoop and couldn't keep it going. Maybe I'll try again...

Not recently, but I was a hula-hoop queen back in the day. EVERYONE brought them for recess, they were great exercise (but we didn't realize it back then).

Of course, I just gave away my age since this means that I was in elementary school 40+ years ago.

;)

I was never able to as a kid, but I can now. But most of the time I'm doing a virtual hula hoop via Wii Fit!

I can hula hoop! On my waist, neck, leg, and arm!

Not at the same time though...
:dance:

I actually bought a Hula Hoop recently - thought it might add some fun to my workouts. I do it while I watch TV. My record so far is 16 minutes without having it drop. Next time I'm at a beach party, I will not be embarassed to enter the contest!

Awesome GYPSYLTHR...but just how many beaches are there in Phoenix?

When I was a kid I could hula-hoop pretty effortlessly.

Now, not so much. I can only twirl it around a few times before it just circles down my legs to the floor. Sad. :(




:D

No beaches, EZ, but plenty of nice resorts that hold beach-type parties during the summer for the locals, since it's the off-season.

Gotcha GYPSY...know all about those Snowbirds, from living in Yuma (family still there) 3 times before I turned 10!

Hey! How timely- I've hooping with my Hoopnotica hoop and homemade adult size heavy hoop for about three weeks now. What an amazing core workout! And it is SO much fun with music! WHEEEEE!!!
