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 🤗. 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
Thank you for posting so many helpful videos! I've come across several "how to hula hoop" teachers on RUclips, 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.
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
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
Ok. WOW. The first 10 seconds alone! You're so cool! 😭
thank you 🥰
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 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

Best video for learning hula hoop ❤️
thanks so much! I'm glad you thought it was helpful! :)
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
Great job teaching
Great❗️😃Thanks for the competent Info.👍🏼
thank you for watching :)
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
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.

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!
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
So helpful, thank you!
Glad it helped! This is the first lesson from a full course I have for beginners that comes with a $30 store credit for a dance hoop. If you'd like to check out the rest, the course is available here. It'll teach how to hula hoop dance in 4 weeks 🥰🎉💃courses.spinjoy.com.au/courses/spinjoy-foundations-of-hula-hoop-dance
No it's not I still can't do it I'm crying😭😭😭
Thank u for the explaination
thanks for watching!
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
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.
Well explained ❤
Thank you! Hope it helped 🙏
U r amazing. Easy techniques..I learned it pretty quickly after applying them.
Thank you! So glad the video helped 🥰

Awesome! Good job 🎉
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!
Best tutorial ever thaxx
Thanks so much! Glad it was useful 😊
Sound effect 😂 love it
Great tips
thanks! good luck with your hooping :)
I will definitely try it
let me know how you go!
You are a very good teacher.
thank you!!
Love it 😊
cheers Jo!
I love it
Thanks!!
I did it.thanks
well done to you!!🤩
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 🎉🎉
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!!
Nice video thanks 😊
hope it helped!!!
Superb 👍👍👍👍
It's awesome I learnet easily
Yay!! That's awesome. I'm so glad to hear 🎉😃
Thanks that was fun
My pleasure Robert! Happy hoopin'
Oh my god thank you!! YOU FIXED MY PROBLEM!! THE HOOP GETS WABBLY BUT NOW I CAN DO ITTT

Volim hula hop ❤🎁
Just started to try to hula hoop but cannot do it at all is it true if your hoop is to big you won't be able to do it
cool l love it
Glad you enjoyed it Cherry!
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 just bought a hoop but it’s too small :( i can spin it in my hands and feets but not on my waist, but i will keep trying until i buy a proper size one!
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.
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?
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 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_/
I love this because it's under 10 minutes. Other vids are 15+ minutes long where they tell their life story. But you just get right into it!
Thanks! I hope it was helpful :)
I see this video so many time😂
haha is it helping??? are you getting it??
Yes
@@Xx_May_xX- awesome :)
I'm finally a pro I can walk and hula hoop at the same time 😊
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.
Wow
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☺😍
This may be a weird comment but do you do online dance tutorials without a hoop? You hula hoop great but you are also an awesome dancer!
haha i'm very flattered, what a compliment. Aside from enjoying to warm up the dance floor at nightclubs when no one else is yet drunk enough, I don't have a dance background. I enjoy just moving to the music and flowing with my hoop. I teach a lot of the moves and flowing together a sequence in this Foundations of Hoop Dance course and I dive into how to dance with the hoop and some stuff on musicality and hitting the beat in my Body Rock Course, but they're all focused on doing it with the hoop! xoxo Both of those courses are available here: courses.spinjoy.com.au/
@@SpinJoyHoopDance that is clearly a lie! You are a great dancer!
@@misss.455 haha you are too sweet 😅❤️😘
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_/
Hey can you teach how to increase speed
Ok so....in this video here, I show the technique to push harder and faster if the hoop is starting to fall down. It's good to train this technique to save the hoop. HOWEVER, if you are making really big movements with your body/big exaggerated pushes that throw your alignment out, its not great technique. What I suggest is pushing the hoop hard and practicing very tight fast pushes to keep the hoop spinning fast. Then when you start to fall out of the speed and slow down, re-push the hoop fast again and keep going.
This method will have you only training the tight fast pushes you want to be achieving, not falling out of alignment to rescue your hoop. It will probably be pretty exhausting, it should be high energy. After doing this a few times in your practice sessions, your body will be trained to keep these tight fast pushes going more easily.
I hope that makes sense!! If you need a demonstration let me know and I can do it over on my instagram account for you xox
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
I'm not going anywhere with my hula hoop but I not quitting, either!!!
