Does anyone remember.....

...the Hula Hoop..?
Well....last week I was reading that the new exercise fab is the Hula Hoop...
Who knew...?
Now the brain said to me .....you use'ta be pretty good at hooping when you were younger...why not give it a try..
Silly brain...!
So on the last trip to the Wal*Marts...guess what jumped in my cart...
No....
not an exercise hula hoop..but.. a sparkly pink one that lights up when in use....one from the toy department....one that cost me $8.00....can you say inflation....?
 
I downloaded a "how-to" video...just to refresh my memory...
that video states its all in the rhythm and balance...
I now know my balance has slipped 'cause this thing works best down around my ankles...!!
 
I'll keep trying and keep you posted.....if your interested...
 
(sigh)

  1. I do remember the hula hoop, but was never very good at it. Guess I never had the rhythm. Have a good day.

  2. Even in my younger days I was never very good at hula hooping. But I did have one way back when. Hope you have a fantastic Friday!

  3. hhhh, for the balance of Miss Kitty!!!!!

    I think this is great, but I am afraid the Ducks tail will come back and I ain't got no hair! LOL

    Keep up the good work, you'll keep it up. At least it is a fun exercise....

  5. Perhaps the center of balance gets lower as one ages :)

  6. Your new hula hoop sounds pretty. I do remember them. Let us know if you're able to keep it up around your waist. I couldn't last time I tried.

  7. Well! That sounds just like a hula hoop I would have purchased! Never was good at it when I was younger, so I'm sure it would stay around my ankles these days.:-)

  8. Oh my. I saw the same thing, went to Kmart and bought a pink plastic hula hoop for 3 or 4 dollars. When I was young I could keep one going forever. Not now :(
