Hula Hola



My hoop arrived today in the biggest parcel I've ever seen - albeit a touch on the flat side. I couldn't wait to shake my booty.

I am hooked. Having been using my son's £1 from Tesco version up to this point, I now realise I have been attempting to wiggle the equivalent of a toddler's bicycle around my grown up hips. This hoop is huge and heavy and it don't fall down. You just shake your hips and round and round it goes.

Soon I was performing my first tricks - just a few bends to start, then a little walk around. The pounds started to drop off, the hoop span faster and faster and faster. Beyonce asked me to stop because I was ruining her reputation. Then, a knock at the door and Cirque du Soleil implored me to run away and join them...

Well, you know I'm a mother. I have responsibilities and a mortgage, but in the end they asked so nicely that I offered them a 'one night only' performance which you can see on this YouTube link above. What lovely people - and they even provided extra hoops.

In all seriousness though, if I could hula like this chick below, I'll be a happy bunny

  1. Wow! it would be so cool to be able to do that like her! ....and I couldn't help but notice how lithe and lean she is because of her pasttime! Better start buying smaller jeans! ;P

    But, really, what a fun way to play and stay in shape....you are so cute! I'm so glad you're having fun!

    I was never able to keep a hula hoop up ever...I always blamed it on my narrow hips...though I think my large rear would make up for it these days :)
