How To Hula Hoop
Start with power
Wind up your hoop fully to one side and give it a firm, fast push on an even plane, then immediately start moving. If you start off with a weak or wobbly push, you will not gain enough momentum to keep the hoop going.

Move in the right direction
Push hips back and forth and avoid circular gyration. Build core stability and strength by pushing your belly forwards when the hoop lands on it, and pulling away with your lower back when you feel it land there.

Be instinctive
Try not to think too much about your movements. It's more about sensation - be aware of where the hoop lands and move in response. Use your hands, arms, shoulders, legs and feet. Avoid looking down and holding limbs rigid. Instead, open your chest, extend and dance.

Save the hoop at all costs
Recover the falling hoop by pumping your hips faster to pop it back up. You can also squat and shimmy to lift it on to your waist. Try different movements to keep the hoop moving - your creativity can build even more dexterity.

Balance
Distribute the weight evenly on each part of each foot. Try not to rock, though; instead, press the ball and heel of each foot down firmly to activate your leg muscles, which will propel your hips.

Breathe
Remember to breathe deeply so that your muscles - including those in your face - will relax, and your shoulders will drop down. It's impossible to hula hoop well when your body is stiff and tense.

Stand tall
Keep your spine elongated and your head high. And don't slouch. The hoop will reflect your posture, so if it slopes to one side, you can right it by leaning in the opposite direction. Remember to look ahead.

Recruit friends
Hula hooping is a sociable activity. Get friends to come along to a class so that you have more encouragement to stick with the new exercise
