what is a good way to increase balance in hoola hooping?
Q. I want to learn how to hoola hoop. I just love doing it! However, I cant keep it up ! any suggestions?
A. 1. Make sure you have the right size of hula hoop!
If you're using a kid-sized hoop, forget it! Most hula hoops that you can buy at stores like Target or Toys R Us are kid-sized. Unless you're the size a child, a child-sized hoop is not going to work for you � especially not if you're a beginner! You'll save yourself a lot of heartache (and gain a lot of fun) if you make or buy a hoop that's the right size for you.
What's the right size? Try this: Stand with your hoop in front of you. The general rule of thumb is that a hoop should be between stomach and nipple height, although some compensation should be made for your waist size, too. General rule of thumb: The bigger you are, the bigger the hoop should be. Larger hoops will rotate slower, making getting started easier. Smaller than that will make the hoop rotate faster, which is more challenging, but also better for doing tricks and exercizing.
2. Put one foot in front of the other, and shift your weight
Hold the hoop against your back. You can start it a little above your waist. Then, push the hoop around your waist, and shift your weight back and forth on your feet to keep the hoop moving.
Easier said than done? Having trouble "keeping it up"? Here are some more tips:
Many people try to move their hips in a circle with the hoop. This actually makes hooping much harder. Try this: put one foot in front of the other and just shift your weight back and forth from foot to foot. It's less of a circular hip motion and more of just a rocking or pumping motion.
In terms of which direction to hoop in, try 'em both! You'll know right away which one is right for you. I've found that right handed people generally hoop counter-clockwise, while lefties go clockwise, but many people are exceptions to this rule.
Most of all: be patient! It can take a while to get the hang of it � don't give up! If you get frustrated trying to get the hoop going around your waist, try hooping with your hands!
I need to follow this too!

Where to get a heavy hula hoop?
Q. I have to order online and walmart doesn't have any good ones, toys'r'us is all out, I can't find any on target. I was just going to get a cheap, lightweight hula hoop and fill it up with water, but if anyone has any suggestions on where to buy either a heavy hoop, or a lightweight one, for under $20 it would be greatly appreciated!
And could I get a link. Im terrible with searching, and narrowing the results and things! haha! :)
