While serving as a customer service rep for Hunt Auctions, Hayley Ninnis is a graduate of Penn State University, with both a Bachelor of Science in psychology, as well as a Masters in Leadership Development. Outside of the professional and academic arenas, Hayley Ninnis is a self-described master hula-hooper.
The first thing a hula-hooping newcomer must do is acquire a hula hoop that meets their particular wants and needs. Because smaller hula-hoops rotate more quickly and require quicker movement from the hooper, they are more challenging than bigger hoops. Beginners are therefore encouraged to choose larger hoops of around 44 inches or more in diameter. People who want to use hooping for exercise may want to consider weighted hoops that require more strength and energy to use.
When hooping, it is important to turn the body in the same direction as the hula-hoop’s spin. Hoopers can even walk in a small circle in that direction as they swing their hips.
When it comes to clothing, hula-hooping experts recommend wearing stretchy and form-fitting items such as yoga pants. For extra traction, hoopers should ensure that the hula hoop comes into contact with bare skin.
