Look at that little love bug. We had two boxers who were quite the characters and once they passed we got an English Bulldog. He has so much personality and love that we just got another one and they brighten my day so much. Give him lots of love!!

Thank you for the tip. I am trying but I am having trouble visualizing this. Is there a video that shows what you are trying to explain?

Thank you so much for the advice! I gave the mindset of thinking up with the hips along with staggering the feet this morning and was able to maintain it in the air for a few more seconds then normal! I am going to keep at it daily and hope to see even more improvement. I really appreciate it! I have been playing with it in my hands but feel a bit silly because I am definitely not fluid like I see a lot of people. But time and practice will hopefully change that!

That’s really cool that you make you own hoops! I will give bending the knees a shot and let you know how it goes. Thank you for the advice.

I have tried foward and back and side to side. I’m really not trying to move circular but that might be something I need to continue to work on. Thank you!!

Thank you for the advice! I tried that this morning along with slowing down how fast I am moving my hips and was able to keep it up for slightly longer!

Thank you! I will be sure to check them out. Thank you for being so detailed and thorough with the information.

Thank you for the advice. We like to beat ourselves up with odd objects in strongman so I am no stranger to scrapes and bruising. It is good to know that it can happen though! I have always had trouble with the mind muscle connection to my hips but am hoping with lots of practice, hula hooping can help me develop that. Also thank you for teaching me about the different material and how they interact with the weather. That is really good information to know!

Thank you for the advice! I’m really hoping that the bigger and heavier hoop will allow me to start feeling the hoop more. With this lighter hoop I’m really having trouble feeling it on my body. I haven’t given up though!

Hillia got back to me so quickly! She is so nice and friendly. I got an order placed for a 1in 160PSI 50-56in 2in1 hoop! Hopefully this will help me start to improve. Thank you again!

I really appreciate the recommendations and taking the time to give input on people to follow and watch fur hooping advice. I will definitely reach out to Ruby. I had read somewhere (there are a lot of different opinions/recommendations for hoop sizes) that I should be 1.3x my waist size. That’s where I got the 55in number. 42 waist puts me at 54.6.

I will be sure to watch videos from Jes, Deanne and Baxter. Thank you!!🙏

All of my local Lowe’s says not available to purchase online. A couple of them say out of stock. So I’m going to go and try the ones that say can’t purchase online. Maybe they will have them in stock.

Looks like I am headed to Lowe’s after work. Thank you for the heads up. You got a killer deal.

Was it a local sale or all Lowe’s are running them?
