If I have no sense of rhythm whatsoever will o be able to learn how to hula hoop?

Just that really! It looks like fun and I like the idea of the weighted hoops. Does anyone have one? Will I be able to learn?!

I can’t do it at all, but I don’t think that’s normal - I’m sure you’ll be fine. (I do have a sense of rhythm god knows why I can’t HH)

I’ve got no rhythm at all, can’t dance or catch or run. I got a hula hoop last week and I’m actually better than I thought! My record is 25 revolutions (probably not the term 😂)

Was rubbish at hula hooping when I was a kid but am really enjoying using the weighted one! So I’d say give it a go

Oh thanks for replies! I ordered one this afternoon so we'll see what happens!

Weighted hoops are a lot easier than regular ones! I have no sense of rhythm either but found those with the water in them easy to 'hoop' so with a bit of practice I think you'd be fine!

Anyone can hula hoop, you just need the right size hoop. An adult beginner hoop doesn’t have to be weighted but it should come up to your belly button when you hold it in front of you. And get the right technique from a YouTube tutorial.

It’s brilliant exercise. Do it to music too!

Yes I can do it in one direction, I f I do it for a few weeks in a row I can do it for 20 minutes, but for the first few weeks, your poor kidneys OMG. Start off with some YouTube videos.

I've tried and tried and tried! I just can't get it!

I'd love to be able to do it!

You can get dvds and you tube videos. I have a weighted one. Live in a flat though so it never gets used atm.

I can't hula hoop, it's the one thing that stopped me from running away to join the circus.

I thought I could be a hula hooping Magician's Assistant. But no. :(

@LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow maybe you could be the magician's assistant's assistant? It's never too late!

Thanks for all your replies, I'm excited to get mine now :)
