Hi that girl… I explained the vortex on my fire vid that you commented on. That my LED in that vid https://www.studioveena.com/outbound_links/t/?l=http%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FLpTyW9e5cYg. I love it. Mines not a polypro and its not that h6eavy at all so a poly pro LED would prob feel like an ordinary hoop. V.pricey though!!
Re. chest hooping it's a little like learning to hoop to begin with… your muscles kind of pick it up on their own through practice. I wouldn't recommend trying to learn waist TO chest to begin with….if your hoop is light enough start it on your neck and practice getting your shoulders in. Then try like mad to keep it going on your chest. It'll keep dropping to start with but plod on because you'll get it eventually! Also even though its a pain focus on getting your chest hooping horizontal rather than diagonal (feels easier slightly on the diag but looks sloppy).
Re. ankle hooping do you mean lower leg hooping while standing or hooping round your feet/ankles while lying down?
Happy Hooping!! xxx

I do a couple of hours on the pole twice a week the a long session at the weekend. Splits training every day and a few hours hooping a couple of nights a week. I eat carbs like it's going out of style 🙂 If you're working out you need fuel!! It's important not to pole every day as you need time for your muscles to heal and bruises to go down… otherwise you'll just keep getting injured! Good luck!

Hi guys! I'm from Bournemouth Debss, there's a great circus/juggling/pole scene here! Hi Sparrow… not very long…about a year maybe, I started out with fans http://youtu.be/7aunqdQXZrE then moved on to hoop…
Hi monary interesting question… I'm always bemused by this term weighted hoop because if you want to learn to do anything remotely fun with a hula hoop you want as little weight as possible!! I think these weighted hoops are gimmicks for losing wieght and abs toning, but I anticipate you'd get bored very quickly as their too heavy to do anything with! It's a myth that heavy hoops work your muscles better anyway. The heavier the hoop, the more it will go round on it's own, the lighter the hoop, the more you need to work to move it!!
If you're a new hooper it's best to start with a heavier hoop (I recommend 39" /25mm piping). This will rotate slowly and give your muscles time to memorize how they need to work. But there's absolutely no need to add weight! A 25mm pipe will be heavy enough to give you bruises as it is!! The better you get the smaller you can go. I'm currently on a 33" 20mm poly pro (a super light weight pipe) which goes super fast and means you can do awesome tricks 🙂
