I Can't Believe It! I Forgot How To Hoola?!

I can still do it, but nothing like I could when I was a kid. I still enjoy it though. I think that it just takes practice to remind ourselves how to get the movement down just right, then, it is easy again.

LOL! that sounds like fun.
i never could do that..just couldn't coordinate myself enough,i guess.
never mastered the cartwheel either. a friend of mine could do that all day long.

I know how you feel but mine is roller skating lol lol Man I used to be able to do all kinds of stuff on roller skates and man I get on them now and I act like an old women who is scared to fall and break something lol lol Its awful cause I know I can still do it but I get on the them wheels and I just cant make my legs go like they used to. But hey you keep trying like that and your burning a lot of calories like that really so keep it up I am sure it will come back I bet I couldn't do it now either I am going to have to go and get one just to see if I can do it. Good luck and keep me informed1

Wow what a coincidence my friend! I've been wanting to hoola hoop again to loose these excess flab on my waist. My brother's girlfriend said hoola hooping is like belly dancing and it can help remove the flabs so I want to try it if it's going to work cause I am getting fat hehe.

I don't know if I can hoola again just like when I was a kid. But I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. I have to be positive cause I need to exercise and get my figure back hehe.

Just try to keep those waist swaying and you get your momentum back.
Good luck!

i never could do it to start with. my 4 year old grandson can go to town on it & his mother can to. guess i am not coordinated right, like that's something new,lol

Hi Theresa, well you're better off than I am, coz I really don't know how to hoola-hoop!

Hoola hooping probably has less to do with the swaying and more to do with the rhythm. I've seen some people barely moving, but keeping the hoop going for a long time. When we're children we are less inhibited, so we moved well to our internal clocks. Unfortunately that changes for a lot of us. Try hoola hooping to music, and see if that helps. Who knows, you might have discovered a new exercise rountine! By the way....did those bananas ever ripen?

How do you forget to hoola hoop? That's probably one of the easiest things to do.

I just bought my kids a hoola hoop and much to my surprise, I can not remember how to do it either. I tried over and over but I could not do it. I was getting kind of frustrating. My oldest son was telling me to go front to back but that still wasnt working. I feel bad that my seven year old can hoola hoop better than me.

One of the exercises in the WiiFit programme is hoola hooping.

When I first tried it I was absolutely hopeless. The hoop kept dropping to the ground. This went on for days and I almost gave up on that particular exercise. Now I am really good at it. Every now and then they throw you another hoop to catch. I can now catch and use three of them.

It seems the trick is 'big fast rounds' of the hips. Not side to side but rounds.

Persevere and you will be a champion.
