so happy to hear you and your family are hooping!
i'd definitely recommend a bigger hoop. i started out with a 42" and i feel like beginners should use a bigger and heavier hoop. spinning in the direction your hoop is moving can help to…

I'm glad it's working out for you! When I started hooping I only had a child sized hoop and I MADE myself keep it up, and I did, but I couldn't do any tricks with it! The bigger the better, and when you start getting better you can go…

I'm so happy that it's starting to work! Keep going at it, it's great.
And isn't it just the best feeling ever when it starts to click? Myself, I've always been the tall, fat girl with glasses that sucked at sports. When I…

That is awesome!!! I LOVED the photos. Congrats!!
Caroleeena of Circles of Joy replied to the discussion 'REALLY Newbie Question...'
Great photos! What happy faces. I read your blog too. Three cups of water is way more than I would use. Usually about a cup is all you need. You just want to have an opposing force so you can feel the push and pull against you.
Caroleeena of Circles of Joy replied to the discussion 'REALLY Newbie Question...'
Congratulations! That's awesome. I would let the water out of the hoop you have and keep it. It won't be so floppy without water in it. Just drill a little hole and turn it upside down in the bathtub to drain the water out. It'll…

When I first started I could.not.hoop not even to save my life. A big ol hoop with water is what got me on the right track, as you get used to the water and used to the movement you will find you won't need it anymore.
I then started to size…
Stacey Hamlin replied to the discussion 'REALLY Newbie Question...'
Guess what!!! I made a 60 incher...I did add water, cuz I did it before I saw your post...and I TOTALLY did it!
Here's a picture... http://sentimentsalastack.blogspot.com/2010/09/accentuate-positive.html
Thank you ... Thank you.
Now…
Caroleeena of Circles of Joy replied to the discussion 'REALLY Newbie Question...'
I generally do not advise adding water because it throws off the balance of the hoop. You can't really use it for hand hooping at all after that but it could be good for learning your core. Some people like it. I'm not really a fan though.…
Stacey Hamlin replied to the discussion 'REALLY Newbie Question...'
Thank you SOO much...well thank you ALL so much...but this is so full of information...I can't wait to try it.
Now, I'm wondering...I have 3/4" tubing...should I get 1" or just add water or tape to the 3/4 to make it heavier?
I…
Caroleeena of Circles of Joy replied to the discussion 'REALLY Newbie Question...'
I thought of one more thing -- people often stand with their feet too far apart. This locks up the body and makes it so you can't bend the knees and push out as far with the waist. Make sure your feet are no more than hip distance apart,…
Caroleeena of Circles of Joy replied to the discussion 'REALLY Newbie Question...'
Honey you can hoop. You just need a hoop that fits you. I see people here recommending 42 inch hoops. I say go much much bigger!!! You want a hoop that when it stands on its side comes up to between your nipples and your chin. You can work down to a…
spin gypsy of Centric Hoops* replied to the discussion 'REALLY Newbie Question...'
try closing your eyes so that you can actually feel where the hoop is connecting with your body. also, if youve only been spinning in one direction, ie clockwise, try spinning counter-clockwise. that can make a huge difference!! that was my problem…
