I need to get back into hula hoop dance this year. It really helps with my arthritis, does amazing things for my mental health, and it's one thing I'm not embarrassed about if someone sees me.
My autistic self abhors being OBSERVED. But my fat middle-aged body delights in having someone not know how I can make the hoop dance all around me like that!
@weirdfizz Not sure if you've heard of the Infinity Hoop. I'm in need of losing at least 40 lbs. and I've seen a woman do the hoop on TikTok. It's a stationary hoop with a weight on it that u swing with the action of a hula hoop. This lady lost over 30 lbs in less than 3 months I believe. I can't wait to get mine in the mail.
@LisaHope I knew somebody who had one a few years ago. She loved hers! She didn't want to do all the tricks and dance moves I do. She just wanted the health benefits of waist hooping without all the trial and error. It was perfect for her!
@weirdfizz Awesome!!
The secret is having the right size hoop. Adults will be fighting the laws of physics with a hoop made for preschoolers.
With the right size hoop, then it's just patience and being mindful of how your body can move. I do off-body moves because waist hooping screws with my hip.
