Hooping Fitness, Hoop Dancing & How to Hula Hoop 

I LOVE what she is wearing! I got my 1st hoop, made by my best friend, a couple of weeks ago and I can't get enough hooping!! SOOO much fun and a great workout.

Thanks girl! A friend of mine here in SD works for ACE and asked me to be apart of their newsletter this month. Of course I agreed and am incredibly happy with how it came out!! Yay for spreading hoop love to a larger community!!

this looks like... SO MUCH FUN.

She does look like a belly dancer, I love this video, I just started hooping 3 weeks ago, and I'm so happy to hoop just regular now. I really like to learn those tricks

i've always loved to do hula hooping, ever since i was little!

After watching this video I feel so inspired and just wanna keep practicing ❤ thank you!! X

I love Unity. She seems so nice and friendly here. ^_^

I'm a hoop dancer (still a beginner though) and I've never had a single lesson. Just go for it! :)

She is a Bellydancer too! She has some awesome videos of bellydance/hoop combinations! Really great.

I have this awesome trick that see's the hoop go from the arm to the leg. So you start off with it round your hand, slowly lay on the floor, then switch from arm to leg. It's difficult to reverse it, but it feels great for your leg muscles.

I started hooping classes last nite, loved every minute of it :oD

great! it took me about an hour of constant trying to get one to stay around my waist, and about.. 3-ish weeks to get it to stay around my shoulders. I had a 38" PEX hoop I made with electrical tape for grip. Just keep trying, and what can help is to just keep trying with either small breaks, or even a day between attempts. Turning with it helps so very much as well. Some people it takes months to get it.

One more thing - I wached many videos but never saw anyone moving like Valentina. She moves like water! Very elegant :-)

Good grief I am so excited to learn how much calories you can do hula hooping. I have been doing it so much and wasn't sure if I was getting any benefits. So excited to know it is actually good for me. Thanks ladies! You are all beautiful!

How odd, as a kid I was never any good but as an adult I'm so much better. It's great and really gets your heart going if you do it for 40mins+.

thanks for this! it helped me learn how to teach beginner lessons

it looks sooo much fun.. last night i try hula hooping with my bf but i was not good but i'm going to try again later for 20 minutes .. i'm going to put it on my workout routing .. hopefully soon i can do cool tricks :)

That rainbow hoop is adorable!

I'm chubby (5'6 and 166 pounds) and I'm a hoop dancer :) Also, I have a girl friend who is over 200 pounds and she hula hoops quite well and can do a couple tricks. It took her a while to get the motion down, though. It's an AMAZING exercise, and I would definitely recommend it! :)

Just purchased my first adult hoop and it is great

Wow! nice! I just got mine today!

haha that pink hula hoop the host has i used during my first (and only because it was a visit to the area) class! cool :D

Start with the basic moves until you feel comfortable, then step up to more advanced ones, mixing and matching for your own personal head-to-toe tone-up. Do any combination of moves for 30 minutes (you’ll burn 150 to 250 calories per workout) three times a week for four weeks and you’ll lose 3 to 6 inches all over your body. Yep, belly included!

unity is my hero!

so awesome I really want to start hooping better go to Lowes and get the stuff I need to make it!

AWESOME! i now know what im going to be doing this summer :D

I love hooping I hot mine from a rave site so it lights up, hoopings my favorite workout

@Diduforget15 A trick I've found helps is to go into lasso and turn once in the opposite direction, helps you straighten out! :)

This is so bad ass Unity its not even FUNNY!!!!! I am so proud of you!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!! are you a certifed trainer or anything?? How'd this happen?! this is who I got my certification for personal training though! :P my boss at Bally Total Fitness sent me this!!!! two thumbs up babe!!! :) Congrats to you!!! wheee!!!

wow you are good. don't forget to tell everyone that hooping can change your life..keep on keeping..

im going to star with this i really want to do it

@linette321 have you tried a weighted hoop? They are a lot easier than the childrens ones. Don't tense up when you're hooping, just relax and let your knees limp up.

Nice video my friend i like this

loved it more videos please

Valentina is fricken awesome. I'm going to give hooping a try!!

what is the size and weight of the rainbow hoop? Please and thankyou

Wow she is amazing

This is an amazing good video. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us. I am new to hula hooping and I have not make it yet. I usually do not give up. But it has been a week and I was only able to do two circular motions around my waist without it falling down. How much I need to keep it fix and still ? Thak You.

that end part was bad ass

ahhhmazing! I want to do that!!!

Where did you get that rainbow hoop??? It's so beautiful!

Well these people use bigger hoops than the ones you would have had in elementary school. They say that the bigger the hoop, the easier it is to use & only advanced people use the light tiny ones. Its because the bigger the hoop, the slower it spins around you, and is easy to control. They also say to do a rocking back and forth motion, instead of spinning your waist in a circle. Hope that helps.

so sweet!! how can u fail to look absolutly gorgeous & cheer up anyone watchin , doin this? i remember seein a wee lass do this (well, she had three or MORE gigantic hooops on her) in da streets of Waikiki yrs ago.... sigh... idyllic memories for us livin here in "green" (ie, cool & damp) Ireland :-) any advice on folk who don't HH alredy, like who never did as kids, and so mebbe have a block on it now as adults ? ahem. Tanks :o)

I want to know what is the name of the cd in this video,, I love the beat , relaxing and perfect for hooping or yoga,, please respond asap..thanks

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Because, well, I have quite the belly (urgh, can one say it like that?) and my muscles in that area are not very powerful or anything. I've always been at least chubby, so I was wondering if that was why I wasn't able to hoop in elementary school. Never tried it since, but maybe I'll give it another go. It doesn't seem as much fun as skipping rope though. :D

Did she specify how much weight to start with? I see 1lb to 4lb? I am a beginner and can't hula hoop. So want to make sure I start with the right weight as not to discourage myself anymore.

Were can I get those purple pants! I love them!!!

Yeah I know ideally kids that age shouldnt be worried about that stuff, but alot of them do anyway. I was going to mention the whole "wait untill your older thing", but I just figured she's probably heard it from so many people already. Plus there is limited space in these boxes, so its sometimes hard to word things properly and make them fit. When I mentioned that some guys like small breasts & the thing about giving birth, I did mean for when she's older.

@Warriorcat07 She is a belly dancer. :) She does belly dancing with her hula hooping and it looks really really beautiful! ^-^

Where can i get that rainbow hoop? i love it!

Kool now i can do it

@aglacanilao hey have you seen taletadong pinoy - the one with astroboy? He's here in the philippines and he teaches hooping in quezon city and the fort.

Hi :-) I just started :-) Do you hoop only in one direction? I am trying in both but I am not very good from left to right.

love it :D

omg its so hard im trying it out and my hoop keeps falling down i cant see to et the hang of it ?? can someone help ?

@Agent007998 Also, my Aunt who was stick thin at the time, had 3 kids, and her daughter who is also stick thin had a baby too. (They are naturally thin, and not unhealthy)

How long do you have to hula hoop to look like that?

what is the name of the hoop that she is using?

@Warriorcat07 She is! :D

there's no hulahoop teacher here in san pablo city, philippines! :( how should i do it?

@Agent007998 I am 21 years old and I have seen A LOT of gymnasts in my lifetime. I can tell you that it is NOT true that gymnasts have small breasts and can't have kids. Those things about your body have nothing to do with whether or not you are into gymnastics. Gymnastics are actually very good for you! I hate to tell you this but truthfully, your friend is probably jealous that you get to take a gymnastics class and she doesn't. Everything will be fine! Hope this helps. ~Lauren

@Warriorcat07 yeah, I agree both your comments :-)

Awesomeeeeeeeeeeee

i cant do it!!! its so difficult for me!! i dont know how you make it!!

Il est beau son hula :)

Nice

Wow!!!

it keeps falling!! it only ever stys up for about 5-10 seconds. i tried rocking back and forth but it falls even faster now! :( what am i doing wrong?

is this a weighted hoop????

I have to ask you a question.. I am about to start gymnastics class.. I'm 13 years old.. And one of my friends told me that gymnasts usually have small breasts, and they can't have kids.. :'/ is that true????? Please, responde, i'm realy scared.. ♥
