Fluff-Can you hula hoop?

I can, but it's not pretty, and not for long.

One of my kids can do it for a really long time and can make it travel up and down their body.

I haven't tried in decades---unless you count several years ago when I virtually hula hooped via the Wii, LOL!

I could do it forever as a kid but no idea what things would look like now   

Nope, never could when I was younger - and I tried, so frustrating.

So I doubt I could do it now either. For some reason I could never get into the zone of the rhythm needed to keep it moving.
I used to take a lot of dance classes too, but the hoola hoop defeated me.

I never could .... ever!

Did you know they have weighted ones to help with exercising. No thank you.
While my hips are huge, they still can't keep the hoop spinning!

When I was a kid I was never able to hula hoop, which was humiliating to this athletic kid for whom the physical usually came fairly easily. This must have bothered me more than I realized because at some point before my 50th birthday, I decided to learn how to ski...and how to hula hoop. So I can proudly say that I finally learned to ski (after disregarding the "pizza slice feet position" which never made sense to me) and I learned to hula hoop with the help of a gazillion YouTube videos.

I just got a weighted hula hoop a couple of days ago. It was a Lightning Deal on Amazon and a total spur of the moment purchase. It's only 3 pounds I think. I can hula hoop for days. I find it very soothing for some reason. One of my daughters can't do it at all, I was shocked. I never thought to have her watch a video, her sister and I were no help.

I can still hula hoop quite well. We busted out hula hoops at Bunco not too long ago. Out of 12 middle aged women, only two of us could, though everyone said they could as a kid. Nearly everyone was shocked that they still couldn't.

With a quality hula-hoop, not a cheap one, I can manage for several minutes without any faltering. I love competing against the kids; they're always so surprised!

Negative 😂

Hula hooping is one of my secret talents- looking at me, you wouldn't guess it.

I did when I was younger, but no clue now- probably not!

Since I haven't tried in many, many years, I have no idea if I still could or not.  At my baby shower, my mom gave me a bunch of little outfits that she had attached to an old fashioned jump rope with clothespins.  She said the jump rope was for me to start using after the baby was born to help me get the weight off and get back in shape.  I hadn't jumped rope in many years either, but after I had the baby, and after nursing him well, I was able to get a bit of jumping in a few times a day.  I was very rusty and it took a while to develop a rhythm, but I got there.  I did much better at swimming laps and running in place in the pool.  I found if I ran in shoulder-deep water, it supported my giant milk-filled boobs better and wasn't as painful.  I think I would have been better with a hula hoop than I was the jump rope.  Less painful landing and jiggling.

When I was a child I was sure I was the ONLY kid in the universe who couldn't do it. Guess I wasn't as alone as I thought.
