Is she using a weighted hoop?
HI Aurora. I'm using a weighted 'dance hoop'. They are specially made for hula hoop dancing so weigh approx 300-500grams which is significantly heavier than regular kids toy hoops, but it is not the same as the very heavy/chunky fitness hoops that you find in a lot of regular fitness stores. I hope that makes sense! You need to get these from specialised hoop makers. This is my store and the hoop I'm using is a 'Body Rock' hoop: spinjoy.com.au/products/body-rock-dance-hula-hoops
I ship worldwide from Australia, but if you want to shop local, I would recommend searching "dance hula hoop" in your area and having a chat with the store owner about a size they recommend based on your height and waist circumference. Hope that helps!

Oh gosh!!! I was rhe UNHOOPABLE person in the universe... Kept on buying bigger and bigger.. Got my biggest hoop today 42inches and after watching your video and slowing down my movements.. As the hoop ia bigger.. And VOILA!! THREE OR FOUR SPINS I can't believe it.. THANK YOU SO MUCH.. I've never hooped as a child.. And at 50, it's the best feeling ever!! Thanks xx
Yay!! Well done!! I'm SO happy for you, it's such a satisfying feeling (i remember it well as I also couldn't hoop as a kid). Keep on going, it's just gonna keep on improving. If you end up needing any further assistance, don't be afraid to reach out to me via email or instagram. I'm always happy to help wherever I can xox
I am starting to learn to hula hoop and have watched many videos before yours, not nearly explaining the correct technique(s) as well as you. Yours is by far the best hoop learning video out there! Thank you!
Yay! I'm SO glad you found the video helpful :) Good luck with your hula hooping journey! If you're interested in more videos, this one is the first of my Foundations of Hoop Dance Course spinjoy.com.au/products/foundations-of-hula-hoop-dance-online-course
@@SpinJoyHoopDanceI am starting a new hobby Hola
Hooping
@@seayolafernandes544 I hope you have fun 😊
Absolutely fabulous! Thank you for the very clear techniques. I have added a couple of them to the basic ones I had from my childhood. I was 69 yesterday and I picked up a hoop a month ago, the spin came back easily and its still a lot of fun!!
Excellent!!! Happy birthday!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Happy hoop adventure
Thank you for posting so many helpful videos! I've come across several "how to hula hoop" teachers on CZcams, but by far your guide is the best. Some people say to lock your knees, don't lock your knees, twist your back when you push to start, etc. Lots of misinformation or risky techniques that could lead to injury.
Regardless, your approach comes across the healthiest, happiest, and most achievable too. Thank you! 💛
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial.
Thank you 🤗. I've been fighting with my new hoop for nearly an hour and you just got me to 3 consecutive spins. Fab teacher and super easy to follow 👌
That's awesome news, thank you! Stick with it. It does get easier I promise. Also, if you're needing help, always happy to do some technique checks if you want to send me a video on Instagram messenger. Having someone see what's going on can make it all come together a lot quicker! Xx
Hands down my fav hula hoop teacher on this planet ❣️ woot woot ! And I definitely haven't been starting the hoop correctly so now I know what to do! ❣️
Thank you Mari! Hope you're keeping well and slaying the hoop as usual :D xoxo
I’m so glad you said it could take up to a month to get it down. I’m on day 3 of huffing and puffing my way to endless dropped hoops. So it’s good to know it’s sorta normal to be struggling. My daughter got it figured out in 10 minutes.
Fabulous tutorial. I received my hoop this week to help strengthen my core. I was struggling with it until I watched this, now I'm absolutely rocking it. Thank you 💜
Wonderful! Well done you! Hope you enjoy your hoop journey :)
This vid is fantastic - women are so good at this.
I love how instructor gives a running commentary of what to do and then explains what you're doing when the hoop goes begins to drop down and things go wrong. That helps me understand the mechanics of hooping better.
This is a video I could regularly watch not just for the hooping tips I must confess though . 😍😁
You’re gross
I have started hula hooping since couple of days. You have explained it beautifully. I am all geared up. Thank you so much
This video worked a miracle. I can't tell you how many videos I wat he'd before I got to yours, I was lowkey losing hope. Thank you!
I'm so glad it helped and good for you for not giving up. Let me know if you ever get stuck or frustrated with your hooping. I'm available to help xx

Well that's the sweetest comment ever. thank you Sonia :) xox
@@SpinJoyHoopDance ♡♡♡
You are a good teacher. I tried what you suggested and I was hula hooping again! Oh the joy of childhood memories hula hooping with my friends. I still hear the beads inside the hula hoop. Thank you for sharing.
so glad you were able to get it going! Have fun!!
Love your explanation. Just bought my hoop yesterday and having trouble to spin it. Lucky that I found your video. Thank youu!! Love from Malaysia. ❤️
Congratulations on your new hoop journey! If you need any help please reach out.
Thank you soooo much for the great tutorial and the crucial tips!
I learned to do hula hoop for at least 1min in some 2-3days of practice!
Yay! Well done Lucy! So satisfying when it starts to click isn't it? I'm glad the tutorial was helpful :)
I watched many videos before this, all very long. After watching this I literally hooped in every position almost effortlessly. Thank you for being so concise and helpful!
So glad it helped! Great job getting it going 🎉🎉 very satisfying when it works hey? 🥰
I'm so happy, I did it the first day itself after watching your video. Thank u so much for the clear instructions.
yay well done!! I'm glad the video helped and I wish you lots of fun and joy on your hoop adventure ☺
I love your messy hair😂😂😂 thank you so much for the confidence
Ok. WOW. The first 10 seconds alone! You're so cool! 😭
thank you 🥰
Fantastic teacher!! now I know exactly what I´ve been doing wrong all my life 🤣🤣🤣getting the hang of it nicely now, never too late!! thank you!!
thank you for the lovely feedback and well done on getting it going! I also learned to hula hoop as an adult haha. Have fun with your new epic skills!!
Very helpful and fun learning hula hoop thank you for the easy techniques. I just learnt it after reffering your video 2-3 times!
Congratulations! Well done on your success. :)
these tips helped me so much and i was able to find my flow with it better. such a massive improvement. Thank you so much!!!!
Yay I'm so glad it helped!! 🎉❤️🎉
Love the quality and your explanation keep up the good work bestie!!!
thank you!!
Such a great video I love your sense of humour
I've bought my hoop never thought it 'd be that tough aaarf! Practice they say... Perfect for my coordination issue. Thanks for sharing
yes stick with it! Doesn't always feel like it at the beginning but I assure you it DOES get easier! If you need help or some trouble shooting, feel free to send me a video via DM on instagram if you're getting stuck. :) xx
Completely new hooper here, been practicing since Christmas. Took it home with me today and stood in my room listening to music while hooping. My body was simply moving in the hoop, instead of with it, which made it drop an insane amount of times before I eventually got it. But how did I get it? With your help. I was able to explore the possibilities and techniques of hooping, with mostly your help! That's absolutely amazing. Although I'm not able to keep it up for that long, I'm super impressed by my progress, THANK YOU!
Sorry for the late reply lovely! So glad the video helped. Great work on sticking with it and cracking it. It is one of those things just keep practicing practicing! Hit me up if you need any help and have fun. Happy New Year! xoxo
You are amazing!
Really good teaching!
Understandable even for non-English speakers👍👍👍
Thank you lovely! So glad you find it helpful 🥰
i bought a hula hoop recently, i didnt see the size before purchasing it and when it was delivered to me, i was surprised at how large it is. this video definitely helped, I almost returned it hahaha. you were so helpful, thank you so much!!
oh yes lucky! most people have the opposite problem haha. Can always downsize later if you feel like you want to go a bit quicker and lighter. But keep that one on hand if you do, so you can hoop with your friends!! :D
Amazing! Thank you so much for this video! ♥
You're welcome! Hope it was helpful!
I did it
Thank you very much for this wonderful tutorial and explaination
Yay well done!! 🤩🥳
Great❗️😃Thanks for the competent Info.👍🏼
thank you for watching :)
Thanks for this! I tried the front/back and side/side with no success but closing my eyes to focus on feeling where to hoop was did the trick! I was too focused on moving my weight front or side and couldn’t get it. I have gone minutes today! Not a lot but more than the usual few spins before it falls. And I was able to move it up using your techniques too. Excited to keep going!
well done!! It's so satisfying when it clicks. Keep at it and it'll just get easier and easier, you won't even need to think about it anymore.
Thanku so much,i never ever thought i could do it...i tried for several months and gave up.And fortunately i came to see ur vedio today...took my hoola hoop which was covered with dust..carefully listened ur absolutely wonderful and techniques..and see what i did 10 consecutive hoola hooping in the very first take...i was likeeee wtf!!😫😫😫😫..u r amazing😫😫👏👏👏
Yay! I'm proud of you for not giving up. It's often the case with learning hula hooping (and anything else) that there are a lot of tutorials or explanations around but persisting until you find one that clicks for you is key. Sometimes someone will say one thing differently and it all of a sudden makes sense. Keep going, you're doing amazing xxx
Tomorrow I am ordering a weighted hula hoop for weight loss and I came here to learn how to use it. Fantastic technique and easy to follow. Thank you. You look flawless.
awesome stuff! Thank you for the kind words and I hope you enjoy your new hula hoop. Please reach out if you ever need any help!
LOVE THIS TUTORIAL! Got a proper size hoop thanks to your kind advice X. Been having a few tries this evening & wish had been timing last one as did abt 40 rotations!! Its still going a bit lop sided but very happy, will do some more again tomorrow 😊.
Yay! I'm so happy to read this and 40 rotations is excellent!! Make sure you get some videos of you hooping while you're learning along the way. It's very cool to be able to see the progress over time. Come back here and let me know if you're still having issues with the hoop being lopsided after a few more days, because I have some tips if it is.
@@SpinJoyHoopDance hey Caitlyn, hope yr well x. Am now up to 2-2.5 minutes! Loving it. Taking videos, though going to take 1 tomorrow without the cycling shorts & knee support as had just been exercising on last couple! 😂. Def still a bit lop sided....
@@joannedavidson9194 2 minutes is a LONG time well done!! If you're finding your hoop is still kinda angling in one particular direction, it indicates that you are pushing more into that particular side. You'll find this with a forward back motion more often.
If you're feeling more comfortable with spinning now (which it definitely sounds like you are), try now to really focus on getting the circling action happening where you're pushing even pressure around the whole circle, less into one particular direction. Hope that makes sense!
@@SpinJoyHoopDance thanks. I'm really enjoying making progress. Yes that makes sense, will try that. Thanks so much 😀
Wow,you make it looks so easy.I'm new to this thing and your tips is extremely useful and simple to understand and follow,thank you.I just wanna dance with hoola hoop like you do.It's so amazing❤ I'm so inspired now.
thanks for the sweet words. Learning to hoop dance can be a bit of a steep curve at the beginning but the skills just build and build which is really motivating. This video is an excerpt from my online course Foundations of Hoop Dance - courses.spinjoy.com.au/courses/spinjoy-foundations-of-hula-hoop-dance

Wow!!! What great instruction!
Oh oh...she explains everything that I am facing now. I can spin 1 side and I just want to try another side spin which I still cannot get the connection. Closing eyes and feeling the connection shows improvement. Gotta try more!
Omg! Thank you so much 😭I love you so much I saw many vedios but didn't got to do it after following your techniques I did it in 10 min suddenly its my first time doing it and I'm soo happy I really love you🤧😭
Yay! I'm so so thrilled to hear you've got it. Well done and thank you for sharing your success with me. Your message put a big smile on my face!
@@SpinJoyHoopDance aww you deserve that smile on your face
Even now I'm hooping I can't stop doing it and can't stop thinking bout' you
I fall in love with your teaching skill.within one day I learnt god bless you 🥰
thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful :)
Thank you. I was finding it would spin a maximum of one time before I needed to start moving glad I saw this now it goes about 3x. Need to try and work on the getting it straight. Also try and get it a bit higher as has a habit of touching my right hip a bit too much for my liking. 😮
that's great progress and yes, getting it nice and high on your waist is the best place to control it. If you are finding after a while you're still favouring one hip or noticing bruising in one particular spot of your body, a good thing to focus on is evenly pushing in the other direction. If you're favouring the right hip, try to think about equal force for the push when it comes around to the left side as well. Eventually you'll be pushing evenly in a circular spiral the whole way around, but it can take a little bit of time. Have fun!!
Excellent instructor! Thank you!
thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful :)
Thank you because of you I am able to learn how to do hula hoop
Its easy for me I have learned hula hoop since I was 4 yo I am very proud of myself that I can spin it longer. My parents was very surprised and my friends too!
I could not hula hoop as a kid! Not a skill everyone has 👏👏 you should be proud. A lot of coordination and skill 🎉🎉

Superb 👍👍👍👍
Hi . Loved your tips. I think my loop is small in size compared to yours. So is that the reason i am not able to do it well. What is the best size ? Any particular measurement for adults.
Hi Sarita, yep, small hoop is usually the biggest issue for adults trying to learn. As a general guide, I give most women in my beginner classes hula hoops 95-100cm diameter. If you carry more weight around the middle, you can go up bigger than this, for example a 110cm hoop or bigger. If you're unsure, let me know your height and dress/shirt size and i'll tell you what i think. As a guide, I am 173cm tall/5'8 and a size 10AU - someone my size would start on a 100cm hoop. spinjoy.com.au/shop/hula-hoops/body-rock-dance-hula-hoops/untaped-classic-hula-hoops/
I learned hoola hoop so quickly
Awesome! Good job 🎉
Cool you 've been using hulahoop in your waist for 8 minutes! 😊
😁😁
Can you tell me how the weight of hoop is . I have an adjustable hoop by adding sand inside. Tks in advance.
Hi there, my hoops weigh approx 350-400 grams depending on the size. The extra large and thick ones weigh around 500grams.
Hi, what should our hula hoops be made of? Mine is metal and it hurts, but it doesn't have any massage bumps. I am a beginner btw and I love your videos
Hoops for this kind of activity are generally made of polypropylene of HDPE plastic and you'll be wanting to get them from a specialty dance hoop maker. You can generally find them online close to your area. My shop is www.spinjoy.com.au I'm based in Sydney Australia but ship worldwide.
You want your beginner hoop to be roughly belly button height (or bigger if you carry more weight around your mid-section) and to weight 350-500grams (depending on its size).
Thank you, I got it a bit... But when I'm doing this after 2-3 rounds it's getting slow and going down, Is it because of I'm using a plastic hoop or any else reason?
Can you send me a video of you hula hooping?? info@spinjoy.com.au
or if you can tell me how big your hula hoop is from top to bottom and how tall you are and your waist circumference?
Wow… Explained very well. I want my kids to learn it. And they are 6 and 8. My question is that Do I need to find a good hoola or any hoola is fine?? The one I brought home is lighter in weight and bigger in size. Plz advice. 😊 Thanks
Small children should be ok with kids toys hula hoops. But children can definitely use larger hoops, it's just about finding a good size that they are capable of lifting off the ground and spinning effectively. Really small children mostly struggle with being strong enough to push the hoop hard enough.
Looks easy but it’s still hard 🙃 from zero spin I got 3 spins hehe but I don’t know how to hoop longer it keeps falling
Want to send me a video and I'll see what's going on? Happy to help. Easiest way is on Instagram messages here: instagram.com/_spinjoy_/
Do you so much for teaching me how to roll if I don’t know how do I watch this video
Are you still having trouble getting the hoop to stay up? Why don't you send me a video so I can see? Over on Instagram instagram.com/_spinjoy_/
Volim hula hop ❤🎁
thank you for this!! any tips for knee pain...other than taking a break? thx :)
Hi Cheryl, as a disclaimer, I'm not a registered health professional. So if you are concerned about pain, the best person to talk to is always your doctor or physio.
That being said, with hula hooping, if you are experiencing knee pain, you may be circling excessively through your legs and knees. I'd need to have a look at a video of your technique to be sure, but often this can be a cause of knee pain.
The motion should be predominantly coming from your mid-body. This can be tricky in the early stages while your technique is still refining. I would suggest seeing if the one foot in front/forward pack technique helps ease your knee pain.
If you'd like to send me a video on instagram DM, I can have a look and see whats happening. instagram.com/_spinjoy_/
@@SpinJoyHoopDance thanks for the reply!
Do I have to replace a heavy hula hoop rather than my light one?
Hey Myrna! If you're having success with spinning your current hoop then there is no need to replace it.
The smaller and lighter the hoop, the more difficult it will be to spin. I generally advise people to learn on specially made dance hoops that weigh at least 300grams up to 550gram depending on the size (bigger for larger people).
The hoop i'm using in this video is a 90cm OD hula hoop that weights approx 300grams and this size is considered intermediate or advanced for someone my size and height (5ft 8 173cm and a size 10AU). I would have started on a 100cm dance hoop when first learning to spin. For someone my height but carrying extra weight around the middle i'd suggest they go up to a 110cm OD hoop or larger if they are bigger.
As you can see, it's pretty personalised to each individuals needs and body type. If you'd like to discuss your specifics, shoot me an email (info@spinjoy.com.au) or send me a DM on instagram @_spinjoy_ and i'll help you out.
These are the hoops I make in my online store which I'm using in this video: spinjoy.com.au/collections/hula-hoops/products/body-rock-dance-hula-hoops
My online course which this video comes from comes with a $30 voucher for my store towards a hoop as well if you're needing guidance on learning to hoop dance: courses.spinjoy.com.au/courses/spinjoy-foundations-of-hula-hoop-dance
Hope that helps!!

cool l love it
Glad you enjoyed it Cherry!
Can u plz suggest is it safe to practice everyday.. does any warmup and lower back stretches required after the practice... after 2 hrs of lunch can it be practiced?... plz guide... it would be helpful
Hi Gayastri, just as a disclaimer, I'm not a medical professional, so any advice that I give here is all my own person opinion based on my own experiences. I would suggest that you treat hula hooping like any other exercise regimen you participate in. While it is safe to practice daily, as with all exercises, it is important to listen to your body and take rest days as needed.
While I practice hula hooping on occasions for multiple hours at a time, I do believe specifically doing a 2 hour session every day may possibly be overdoing it. Depending though on the types of movements you're practicing, mixing up off-body tricks with on-body drills so you are not over exercising any one particular body part.
Waist hooping on its own is a good warm up for your body, as a light aerobic exercise to get blood flowing and warm up your muscles. For after a workout I would definitely focus on taking time to stretch, particularly your lower back (quadratus lumborum muscles) as these can take a load when your abdominals are tired and these will be the source of generalised lower back aches.
I hope that helps!! But as I mentioned, i'm not a doctor, so if you have any specific medical concerns, i'd definitely go speak to your healthcare professional xx
@@SpinJoyHoopDance thank u mam for this in depth input☺😍
Which is the best hula hoop to buy as there are sooo many to choose from?
A weighed dance hula hoop (300-500grams) they will vary country to country on what they are made from. From a speciality hula hoop maker. Size will depend on your height and waist circumference. These are the ones all my beginners use for learning in my beginners course spinjoy.com.au/products/body-rock-dance-hula-hoops
Heyy! I've tried for like a week but theres something weird that keeps happening, my hoop starts turning diagonally like downwards in the front and upwards in the back, is it me or my hoops are broken 🤣🤣 I started with the 80 cm one cause I though it was big enough lol
Hey there Giulia! The hoop usually angles for two reasons. 1) you may not be standing up straight. Even a slight bend forward (e.g if you're looking down at the hoop) and 2) if you're not pushing evenly in a circle. Like the power of your push is more towards one point. Hope that makes a bit of sense. It's a little difficult to explain through text.
I'd also suggest that 80cm is a pretty small adult size hoop if you're starting out. I generally use 80cm for teaching primary school age children. Most average size women would start with a 100cm diameter hoop. If you're quite petite, a 95cm hoop. Hope that helps and good luck with it! Feel free to send me a video of your hooping via DM on my Instagram if you'd like me to take a proper look at what's going on. Caitlyn xo @_spinjoy_ instagram.com/_spinjoy_/
