This is our 7th post in our Hula Hooping series. Today, our first and second videos review everything we’ve learned so far. Here’s the review video, part 1:

And this video is part 2 of the review. No idea why they’re broken up, but we’ll go with it…

Girls, we’ve graduated level 1!!! Congratulations! How does it feel?

This is our 6th post in our series on hula hooping.  Are you starting to feel confident yet? Yes?  I hope you are!   I think I have the basic moves down so far, although I’m definitely not over-confident!

But I’m looking forward to learning some of the more advanced moves. Today’s videos area good start – we’re learning how to “stall” the hoop. Sound hard? Well, they always make it look easy don’t they? But this one’s worth the effort, there’s just so much you can do with stalling.  So let’s give it a whirl:

First, we’ll learn stalling to the left:

Stalling to the right:

This is our 5th post in our weekly Humpday Hula Hoop Craze series.  We’ve covered direction, keeping the hoop up, turning and spicing up our hooping.

Today we look at using our hands.  ‘Cause I don’t know about you, but my hands are feeling all awkward – where DO you put those suckers anyway? Well, let’s find out!

First, we’ll start with  a video that shows us some hand control basics:

And on this video, we’ll learn how to put our hands inside the hoop.

Without killing ourselves.

We hope.

Okay, so how did that one go for you?  Piece of cake? Wow, that made me hungry.  Cake sounds good… see you next week. Yum.

Welcome to week 4 in our series on Hula Hooping for fun and humiliation health!

How’s it going for you so far?  Are you caught up?  Did you learn to hoop in the “hard” direction?  I think I finally have it under control. Somewhat.

This week we’re learning how to spice it up with some fun turning moves.  You’ll definitely want to get these turns down before moving on!

Don’t know about you, but I found this fun! Finally, we’re learning something sexy…well, potentially. Right now I look a bit like and upright salmon, all floppy and out of control…

Ah well, the only way to go is up, right?!

This is post #3 in our series of adventures learning to Hula Hoop for a fun workout.

Last week we learned  the basic move of how to keep your hoop up on your hips. …well some of us learned – and some of us didn’t quite get the hang of it and had to practice all week on the sly so that the daughter didn’t embarass us…not to mention anyone in particular…

Anyway not to worry! Today we are only conquering one move – the opposite direction.  Yup, that’s right – if finding our natural direction was considered the “easy way”, then this week we are learning the “hard way”!  Are you ready? Let’s bring it on!

Here we go…

Okay, not so hard right?  Well, theoretically anyway!  I’m off to practice…see you next week!
