Thank You 💗 all it takes is repeated little efforts and you just change your whole life and with hooping it's so much fun and so good for your wellbeing. I hope you're making time for yourself, even if just 10minutes a day 💗💗💗 you deserve it 💗💗💗

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper Thank you too! 🤗

Thanks for your beautiful message last night 💗 really made me very happy all day 💗 so proud of you 💗💗💗

I discovered hooping just over 3 months ago and I am addicted. I will be 60 next March but I do not feel it. I started jumping nearly four years ago as well. You are never to old to learn new things

quick question so did you also do workouts like after hooping (or before) or did you just hoop only? I'm thinking of getting a weighted hula hoop to stay active instead of just sitting all day lol but I also want to see results too but anyway I was just curious!

especially right now the news being full of women disappearing... i used to run a while ago but only if I could run during the day in the daylight... when I started hooping it was so amazing I could work out any time I had a few minutes... did not get muddy and did not matter what I was wearing... did not need to buy any more trainers and I could just play some happy tunes, turn the outside world off for a few minutes and it felt fantastic. I hope you can get a hoop super soon to play and experience the joy :)

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooperI usually run or walk in the morning. My local park is closed at night time. Thank you for the info, I can't wait. 😉

Thank you, gorgeous 💖💖💖 I hope you're hooping with a big smile on your face and know that whatever it is that you would like to achieve: you can! You're going to make it all happen and even more 💖 happy hooping 😚

What is so beautiful about your story is the timing. Sometimes we have other priorities that keep us going and we do not always go for the things that we find but then circumstances may change and we make history. I hope the abusive relationship has changed into a good one and that you feel like a success story that even thought he hiking had to be put on hold but you found something just as awesome and making amazing progress with your fitness and learning even during a pandemic! and this is just the beginning! Things are going to get even better and better ❤️ we can make 2021 magical ❤️

I'm so glad! Lovely to read every single word of yours! Warning: You may end up like me and own 59 hula hoops and use them daily and make everyone around you hula hoop and have fun 🤣 inspiration is precious, I find sometimes in life when I get knocked down by life or run low in energy that another human can in a blink raise my vibration. We can do so much for each other even from far far away and KZfaq and the internet is so fantastic that whenever we need to reignite the passion, we can just click. Any time you need to top up your levels of motivation, you know where to go 😉 keep topping it up, keep the fire going ❤️🔥☀️

Now that you fell in love with hooping please make time for your daily dose of self care 🫶🏼🙏🏾💐 You deserve better circulation and a full body massage You deserve your skin to feel stimulated & nurtured and loved You deserve your brain to enjoy the constant play and discoveries and confidence boosting sense of accomplishment! You deserve all the gorgeous toned muscles that you develop with your fun new hooping habit! Keep showing up for yourself, Gorgeous 🫶🏼❤️ you deserve all the magic ❤️🙌👌🏾💐

I'm glad these videos help 💗 we all feel stuck at times and it is priceless to connect to others on the same journey as we are on. Even if through a video it can give an instant lift. Keep picking yourself up, you can do this, any time you're a little stuck, watch again and re-ignite your fire 🔥

Thank you 🧡 🙏 Minka watched this a few weeks ago and she was asking "why was she there all the time? She was with me everywhere." I told her she's with me all the time even now like a little shadow following me wherever I go 🤣 we've been left alone and grew into a strong team. It was hard first to pick myself up. I wanted to carry on with exercise after having her. I remembered my mum that she gave up and I never saw any of it. What a loss... to have a potential source of inspiration to be an athlete but you don't because it's all gone, you never see any of it... I was in a dark place after becoming a single mum with a baby. Sleeplessness and just feeling worthless... like being thrown away even though I gave up my career, my business, everything to have a family... then I had to carry on hustling with a baby on my own. It was hard. But remembering my feelings about my mum never doing any exercise anymore made me man up... I decided that my daughter won't have the same experience. She will see me trying and active and not drown my passion in excuses. I will make it work, I will have her watch me. She has to see that life is not over, you can still have fun when you're a mum: you're setting an example. I was exhausted doing everything alone. I still am. But my mum's example has really taught me to make fitness non-negotiable. Having Minka is not an excuse to stop. Having Minka is a reason to carry on 🧡

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper Wow, that was such a massive contrast that you experienced and a huge sacrifice to give up your old life and to conquer all of the adversity on your own with your daughter. A lot of people would have been crushed and might have given up on their goals and dreams, but I'm so glad that you decided to plant yourself deep in the rich soil of your experience and your mom's experience and now you are blossoming and growing and teaching Minka how to thrive and be resilient too. I am so amazed by the way that you learned how to create such outstanding online content in such a short amount of time. There are so many invisible tasks that none of us see. It takes so much patience and ends up being way more time consuming than a full time job. Plus you're a mum. Thank you for all you do and for sharing your amazing comeback story.

Mid 50's and hooping?! You're not just relatively fit but open-minded and fun and extraordinary! Show me please all those who are hooping in their mid 50's 🤪 most of them would not even try! And you are doing it and trying your best! That is where the magic happens, Gorgeous! Because every day I fail and drop it and my hoop slides and flies... but what I can do today: I never imagined I could ever do. We learn the most from struggles - that gives us the feedback about how to improve. It guides us to problem solve. Every time we just get more coordinated and fitter... 💪 if we carry on doing what we always could easily do: we don't get anywhere from there. So WELL DONE! You're a champion 🏆 every day just aim to be better than you were yesterday! Never compare yourself to anyone else! I would jump off a cliff if I compared myself to Olympic gymnasts... I started hooping as an overweight adult... Will never be as fit and gorgeous and flexible as they are! But I can always be fitter than I was yesterday 😉😉😉 let's focus on that! You & me we both try to have a happy wiggle and keep focusing on all the things we can do better now than before 💋💋💋🫶🙏

Thanks Bee for your kind words and inspiration. You are amazing. The way you have mastered this with determination and hard work is absolutely stunning. You are a very good teacher and great person. and have great sense of humor. I wish your channel grow by leaps and help many others with your motivational story. Thanks a lot 🙏🙏

You see it didn't just take a workout or 2 but it was so worth it. Just keep going because you can achieve beautiful things and your life may change so much so you will never want to stop hooping 💖💖💖 I hope it already feels like you have experienced lots of benefits and life is now even better with hooping 💖💖💖

You're welcome 😊 I hope it helps and you're creating your own success story 💗💗💗

Thanks for watching! Many people think you have to start young or fit or whatever to hoop but hooping is doable and fun for all I think and wanted everyone to see who is feeling like they need to have a fitness or gymnastic or ballet background that it is unnecessary... it is fun and doable and magical ❤️ but you already know it all ❤️ lots of love to you ❤️

Thanks for watching ❤ hope you're inspired to find yourself a hoop and start playing ❤

You're welcome, Angel ♥️ I hope you're fully inspired to create your own happy hoopy story and ready for discoveries and magical adventures ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for watching 💗 get busy creating your own happy story and let's make it even happier carrying on chasing our dreams 💗💗💗

Thank you 😊 now just remember to keep picking a hoop up. Charge your batteries, show up for your own self-care and give your body and mind some well deserved quality time and countless opportunities to run towards achieving all your dreams 💖💐💫✨️😚

How is it going? Any improvement? Been a few days now and even if immediately there's no huge achievement: in a few days' time if you keep trying you may find: it just clicks! What not many people talk about is that we disconnect. Many of us just have no connection with certain body parts. We can improve or shut down connections: it is about neuro-pathways. Nerves can be stimulated to bond and get powerful and very effective, highly sophisticated connections and they improve our awareness and control over certain body parts. But the opposite can happen, too! I am not sure if you've ever seen people who paint with their mouth or feet... they create stunning art even though they were not born with such skilled feet... they developed their skills because if they had no hands or arms they did not have lots of choices. So repeatedly they kept working on skills to overcome difficulties. As a result: they develop incredible skills simply by repeated action. They may have no hands but with their feet often they can do better painting than I can with my hands... It is simply because where attention goes: energy flows. The more they kept trying the better they got. It may have felt hopeless and frustrating: but they just figured it out over time. This can be very inspirational to us because even if we do not have super sophisticated skills and control over certain body parts: we can just keep trying and just have to believe in ourselves. I absolutely was not gifted at the start and I struggled with hooping because I had no background in exercise of any kind and I was overweight - so I suppose I was focusing more on my chronic back pain and my breathlessness than on the actual technique to hula hoop... For women it is common to have a disconnection in the pelvic girdle and lumbar spine area. We usually are more prone to have some level of lordosis than men - that can cause back pain and we may just hustle on, get chores done over a lifetime, trying not to focus on the pain. So we teach ourselves to not feel it almost. Same with periods: from a young age girls are conditioned to carry on - whatever they are going through. So even if we have period pains: we still have to perform normal at PE lessons at school, show up at work... basically we have to carry on like if all was ok - even when we are in pain. This over the years creates some disconnect. We direct the attention elsewhere, trying not to focus on the pain. It is a coping mechanism. When we ignore pain and focus our attention elsewhere: we basically train ourselves to not feel. Then when we are trying to learn something like hooping: we struggle a bit because we just cannot immediately grasp it, even just to pick up the correct tempo and feel when to move and how, is a task that takes us time to figure out. So I am sorry about the long story but the point I am trying to get to is: It is possible that you just cannot feel it properly, your body may be struggling with a bit of disconnect and for you it may be harder than for others for now. But your body is capable of the same physiological tricks as other people's bodies. You can focus on body parts, you can repeatedly keep trying and the neurons will fire together and bond and the connections you build will help you conquer this. The more you try the sooner the magic unfolds for you!

Hello Bee, I am so sorry for not replying in ages... It made me very happy that you checked in on me and kept me motivated. Thank you so much!!! :) I have changed from the weighted Hoola Hoop to a normal one by now and manage it for quite a while. I still can't do much else than standing in one spot and do waist hooping, but i am very proud how much it improved so far. I will definitely book some of your classes on your homepage soonish. :) I love how I seem to come accross the right people at the right time. I have actualy discovered that due to some trauma I haven't felt my body most of my life and I am learning to change that for the last two years already... and am really excited that hooping will also help me with that and that you describe it all so wonderfully. Thanks again, Bee! I find you are an amazing and inspiring woman!@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper

Thank you, gorgeous 💋 I hope you're ready for your shiny new chapter to hula hoop yourself super fit and creative and full of energy 💐✨️ happy hooping 💖💋😚

Hello Sharon, 62-years-young 💖 I would say you're probably just as great as me or even greater. Not sure where I'm going to be and what I'm going to be like when I'm 62 ( I'm only 40 at the moment ) but if I will still be hooping and fit like you, I will be happy. You're awesome! Many people at the age of 62 use their age as an excuse to not do anything anymore and look at you still playing, learning, moving & stimulating both body and mind at the same time! Well done, Gorgeous Sharon 🙏🏆🏆🏆 Never give up, it's not the level of the skills and tricks that matters but the quality of life they give us, the joy of daily discoveries and wellness 💖 happy hooping to you 💋💋💋

Some days I was on the sofa, too 😂 but some days I was bouncing off the wall 😂😂😂😂 every mummy and every single pregnancy is different though. So maybe with your next one you will be the roadrunner 😂 or a hula hoop diva 😂 maybe if I ever had any other pregnancies I would sleep through it all 😂 but I reproduced enough 😂 I let others spread their genes everywhere 😂😂😂

So glad! Ow yes, I qualified as a freestyle skipping coach, too which I never saw coming ever... especially because I could never skip to save my life lol but with hooping somehow my skipping disability disappeared 🤣 letš keep this love for skipping and hooping and moving strong, being active is the best way to stay healthy and happy ❤️

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper For sure 👍

What would be epic is if you film what you're up to from the beginning with your hoop so you have an inspiring video to share with us 💗 whatever you desire you can achieve 💗💗💗

Thank you! You too! Hope you are fully inspired and ready to keep coming back, carving your own happy journey ❤️

You're welcome, I hope it inspires and you're busy creating your own happy story 💖💖💖💖💖

Thank you, gorgeous 💋 I hope you're inspired to grab a hoop and start playing. Lots of love to you, enjoy this lovely Sunday ☀️💖💋

I've restarted my hula hoop journey! :)

Thank You 💗 I felt so bad when I read that to be honest because I am not trying to ever come across like I'm showing off or trying to make anyone feel like it's unachievable for them but the opposite! Always trying to encourage others and show how to start working on certain skills etc. So will try harder to make it more inspirational and not off-putting. We all trigger emotions and sometimes we don't always manage to get what we are aiming for. Will be trying harder 💗💗 Laura, I hope you're super pumped and confident and excited about all the things you can achieve 💗💗💗

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper you definitely didn't come across that way. I promise. But you're right sometimes people are triggered and that's something that they need to work on. We have all been here with this emotion. And I'm sure we have all said things we don't mean. But just know that you are inspiring people and your videos only ever come across as positive. I have been really up and down with my health and fitness this year but I feel really confident that I can carry on the things I've learnt during lock down and it will all come back. I loved hooping this year, it definitely gave me so much confidence ❤️

Oh thank you! thank you for watching and I hope you are inspired to hoop or to hoop more and you are feeling the changes and excited about all the magical things you can achieve ❤️

Thank you, Gorgeous 🧡 I hope you're super inspired and ready to jump into your shiny new fit & confident chapter with your hula hoop 💖 you've got all it takes 💪🏆💫✨️

Thank you 😊 time to start writing your new shiny chapter and make all your dreams come true and more. You absolutely can! 💗💗💗

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper thank you very much 🙏

I lived in Hampshire in Basingstoke for 12 years. Makes me feel like a dinosaur 🤣 it was lovely though, lots of amazing memories ♥️ how cool though to have internet and even from so far far away we can still connect ♥️♥️♥️

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper We lived there from 2002 until 2007, and before that I was a teenager growing up in nearby Alton from 1991! Just so crazy we were practically neighbours Bee! 🤣🌸

@@beckyc9375 used to go lots to Alton! Used to do community events as well as regular classes and on Sundays I was always there for the boot sale 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just cannot resist a big pile of junk from other people 🤣🤣🤣 always found epic treasure there!

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper Awesome and very eco to shop at the car boot 👍♻️🌍 That is so crazy though that we are both linked to the same small town! 💛🌸X

Ow yesss! On Facebook there's hula hoop groups and you can introduce yourself and mention your location saying you're keen to have hoopy friends in your area and bang, you have crazy hoopy friends immediately 💗 my group is not big but you're welcome to join and post and make friends. We have hoopers from all over the globe 💗🌎 facebook.com/groups/thehulahoopers/

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper thank you so much Bee! You’re a delight

Thank You 💗 my daughter says that she will be a circus superstar and I can live in the circus kitchen and cook and bake because that's what I'm good at 😂 so she does have a lot of confidence 🤣 So glad you managed to keep the hoop up! It will just get easier every time believe me! For me, too it was a journey of being able to keep it up at all to then being able to move my arms or legs while I kept it up... It was baby steps and I feel silly for not filming it because I could show more of what it looked like. Absolutely please document your progress because it will make you feel amazing when you can look back a few weeks or months or even years later. It feels amazing to see how far we've come! For me, too it's incredible looking back at this and still remembering the first time I even unpacked that hoop and the joy when it did a few revolutions around me... Or even stressing about taking it out to the garden worrying about the neighbours laughing at me...🤣 It's just magic unfolding 💗 enjoy 💗💗💗

I’m a new hooper too as well from Virginia. Its so much fun isn’t it

Bee has more than 50 free videos. I've been working my way through the 30-day Hula Hoop Workout Challenge. (it's taking me two months, as I miss days). I've completed 25 of the videos so far. I've improved immensely.

Many many thanks. I hope you got inspired to give hooping a try and you're enjoying your journey of self expression and development, learning and letting your creativity shine and help you achieve all your dreams and goals you ever desired and more ♥️♥️♥️

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper I just got my first hoop today and did 5 minutes of hooping to the right and 5 minutes to the left can’t wait for tomorrow! 😆

@@Everyonesmom1980 this is way too exciting! If I was new to hooping again I would film myself sometimes... so not sure if you wanted to document your progress but I didn't and I missed out. Such an amazing feeling when you are able to look back at how far you've come 💗 I have some older videos but not from the very beginning. I wish I filmed it but those days smartphones were not a thing yet... you will see yourself progress, you'll see your movement evolve and tour coordination grow, your everything will change. Please keep a little video journal every now and then and whenever you need to get motivated or feel proud, you can always watch 💗💗💗

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper thanks for that tide bit I actually am filming myself it will be fun to see the progress! ☺️

You're on a roll 👌🎊🥇🏆 day 4 is awesome! Most people order, try, let it collect dust from then onwards. So huge well done, you're winning 👏 keep sweating, gorgeous 💖 the sense of achievement after every sweaty workout is priceless 👌 and if you feel triumphant and feeling good about your progress, the rest will follow: you become unstoppable, keep taking actions and they keep earning you the rewards you deserve 💖 well done 🥇 keep soaring & sweating & spinning 😚

Thanks for watching, I hope you are fully inspired, ready to claim your transformation from the Universe, learning, playing and dancing with your hoop. Relax, never beat yourself up about progress, just enjoy each session, have fun in the moment and all progress just takes place effortlessly and all your goals come to you 💗

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper Oh, that's so nice. Thank you so much for your kind words! Greetings from little Austria 🇦🇹 🤗

Indeed, the weighted hoop is the easiest to start with. We all start off with different fitness levels. It is not just your core strength but also your cardiovascular fitness and your coordination: they are all part of the TOTAL OF YOUR FITNESS. Some of us are more coordinated but have poor cardio. Some have great cardio but poor coordination... so our pace & experience and struggles are going to be wildly different. One thing is guaranteed: if you keep trying and do not give up: ALL OF IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER! No need to worry, please never doubt yourself! When I started I looked hopeless with my first hoop attempts but just carried on and tried my best believing in myself. In the beginning that is the hardest: to believe in yourself. But your body has the same potential to improve as everyone else's. Your cardiovascular fitness shall improve a bit more each time, your coordination uplevels as your body becomes more familiar with the moves you are trying to do... it will keep getting easier and easier! What you are doing: 'practicing every day' is PERFECT! What is happening essentially is that you are giving your body a new movement culture. It has to get into the habit of putting effort into exercise and coming up with solutions and it will reward you with adaptations. You'll change with every workout - it may feel like baby steps but that is what we all have to cope with. In our heads we are all ready for our fit new chapter and we are mentally ready for a new body we desire. The body takes a little while to catch up. It is happening though! To you, too! We are all carving a body every single day with all of our actions! We can build a netflix body that is accustomed to be sedentary and avoids challenges. We can also make decisions each day to push ourselves a bit. If all you manage is a few seconds: try and repeat a couple of times a day! First thing you wake up and then when you get home from work and then before bed. Your body is under constant reconstruction based on your activities. You have all it takes! with work ethic like yours, trying every day: You shall victoriously achieve all you ever want for yourself! keep this up, you're awesome! 🏆

Thank you 🙏 I am 100% sure about that! Before hooping I never really had good coordination and struggled with most workouts and sports. Hooping made it interesting for me to concentrate on moving my body & where attention goes energy flows 🫶 so I got fitter and more skilled - since I started hooping - it was like I received a magic wand: whatever I try, it feels easy and I am fairly good at it... in the past I felt like I am just hopeless and doomed... Probably we all just need 1 thing! to fall in love wih 1 activity that helps our development and then that boosts our body awareness, spatial awareness, balance, etc. and those skills will help us perform well at a lot of other things 💗 have fun moving your body & playing and making epic discoveries about all the things you can achieve 🫶🏆

Thank you, Gorgeous ❤️ my diet is very seasonal and local. I try to grow as much of our own food as possible. It is permaculture principles that I use and we have huge amounts of berries, veg and salad this way. I do buy seeds and nuts because those I cannot quite grow or process here. I eat lots of sunflower and pumpkin seeds, all kinds of nuts. I make all of our own jams, ferments, sauces and pickles so it is as natural as possible. It is not something I could do when I still lived in England and juggled commute, work and all... but I moved us to Latvia with my little girl and I show her how things grow and what it takes to put food on the table - so for me it's a multi purpose activity to produce food. It is education so I can teach my little girl to value food and not waste and to use seasonal ingredients in a variety of ways to eat fresh as well as how to preserve it all for the rest of the year. I drink a lot of herbal teas, too. I grow most of them but also forage them in the local woods. We pick lots of mushrooms and berries from the woods. I take my little girl for lessons to learn bushcraft skills and fishing, too. So I understand it is not easy to do for everyone and our nutrition is wildly different from most people's but it's been a dream. It took years to get here. When I lived in England I worked too many hours but the money we'd spent on living expenses and childcare... and then I decided I risk it all and try a cheaper location in Eastern Europe... so if I don't make that much money we can live more simply but hang out together more... and that almost transformed our diet from standard to divine. It is insane labour... but extremely satisfying. It is a legacy I wanted to pass on. When I'm gone, I have this kid that I left behind with all the skills to grow and forage for her own superior quality nutrition if she chooses to. She may end up in London eating McDonald's still 🤣🤣🤣 but while I was in charge, I know I did my absolute best. Terribly long story of what I eat 🤪🤣 As long as you aim for unprocessed and natural: you're winning 👌🥇🏆💋 every little helps 😚💖 in the UK I used to get weekly veg boxes from the local organic farm. That was natural and seasonal and local and it made me happy back then. But now I cannot describe the feeling when we sit down at the end of the day and eat a massive bucket of beetroot salad or stir fry etc. And all of it we grew together using only nature. No pesticide, no fungicide, no packaging, no air miles, no sitting on the shelf on the grocery store... garden to table kind of yumminess.

I had acupuncture, osteopathy treatments and all sorts before... but gave up on those when I started hooping and the pain gradually went away... I believe that it was my weight and not being strong enough for it. So to have that much to carry and hold all day when you're otherwise unfit is a lot of strain on the back. But I got fit, grew muscle as the fat was melting off me... so instead of carrying just dead weight I got strong supportive muscles and strong bones. It is different for everyone and if anyone else has back pain I cannot tell if hooping will help because we may experience completely different pain for different reasons. But I didn't do any other exercises. Just hooping 💗 I was just doing the basics when I started and it worked for me 💗

💗💗💗 After an 8-year wait it will be even sweeter and more joyful. Sometimes we just take things for granted and they don't feel as precious and valued as the things we had to wait or evolve for. It was probably meant to be and will take you on a journey of magical discoveries, learning, growing and bliss. Enjoy your shiny new chapter 💗💗💗

It wasn't much weight lost but size. I dropped from UK size 14 to UK size 8 in 6 months. My weight hasn't changed that much but I looked like a different person. When we are sedentary much of our weight is our fat... But when we exercise we increase muscle mass and bone density which looks smaller but weighs a lot. That can be a reason why many people even gain weight when they start exercising but start dropping inches and look smaller.

The tapes all come off eventually. We all strip our hoops and re-tape them. Especially if used a lot, wear and tear is going to make your hoop look tired. Even in gymnastics hoops are retaped regularly. Tarmac or rough ground can do more damage, carpet or smooth floor is not that bad but if it hits furniture etc then even the floor doesn't help. I have a video on my channel how to cover your hoop in fabric and I also show how to strip and tape it so there are different methods but all are necessary when we hoop a lot. It's still better than a hoop looking new with no signs of wear just collecting dust in a shed 😉 so keep trashing your hoop, it means you are using it 💗

Here's how to refurbish a tired hoop kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZN_f5iarZe7XZs.html

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper thanks for the detailed message! Will def look into it. And yes in my earlier days i think i scraped it a lot :|

Fabric is a great idea for muffling sound when it clangs on wooden flooring!

@@fb812 we all do 😜 my hoop was forever flying and dropping and crashing into things at the beginning and even 13 years later I can confirm it still happens a lot 😂😂😂😂

Hello Mathy, had a quick look on Etsy UK! There are lots! Amazon sometimes runs out of stock and that I cannot control, so I am sorry the link did not help. If you search Etsy UK for a 25mm HDPE hoop I would go for a 36-40" diameter one or something like that. If you get in touch with the seller they surely will be interested in getting back to you and you can tell them about your size and fitness level and they should be able to advise. I think 25mm HDPE is brill because that is what we use around the waist for fitness. Polypro hoops are very popular but they are for hand moves mostly or for skinny young people.... I am not any of those LOL so I use 25mm HDPE and that is what I recommend if you want to spin it around your core mostly and not on your hands. I just looked and there are a lot of UK sellers and you can choose colours and even have options for travel hoops which are collapsible or just non-collapsible ordinary hoops. I use non-collapsible - but they suit me fine, I don't fly much just hoop in the kitchen or garden... if you travel a lot, a collapsible hoop is better for you. Etsy is a great website and if ordered from within the UK I can imagine it gets delivered to you quickly! so you can get started :D

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper great, this is perfect. I'm very familiar with Etsy. You're a diamond also following you on insta. 😉❤️

Hello Sarrah, I did gradually eat better. Not done any exciting huge changes all in one go but I swapped drinks and juices from shops and coffee shops to herbal teas and water... more water... I also started eating more veg, berries, salads and started to gradually have more and more fresh and organic produce. Initially my nutrition was quite criminal but I suppose the more fun I had hooping and moving my body the more I respected it so the better nutrition I gave it. I did not count calories or weighed my food. I always eat when I'm hungry. I hope that helps 💖 whatever you want to achieve: you can do it, you have all it takes 💋💋💋✨️👌🙌

I was curious. Bc I am hooping 5 to 20 min a day and eating cleaner. I'm trying to lose more c section belly. I am on a 30 day challenge. My left side hooping is weaker than my right. 🤣

@Sarrah Conley a 30 day challenge may as well become a rest-of-your-life challenge. Just include changes that are sustainable and promote your wellbeing and that way you will get the c section tummy sorted and you will be able to maintain your results and keep getting fitter and better. Intermittent fasting is a cool one to combine with hooping. Maybe give it a try and see if it feels doable or effective. One side will forever feel a little iffy. It's just life really. We always keep raking leaves or hoovering or picking our kids up on the dominant side that feels more efficient and practical and safer... so hooping is a pretty good way to help you notice imbalances and work on them. But I'm a little one sided, too like we all are. It's normal. For our daily tasks we always seem to have a preference, we always choose the same side for getting things done. But with hooping you can give your other side some extra love 💖💖💖

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper Ty so much! Very inspirational!

She was a full time professional handball player and weightlifter and she completely stopped everything as soon as she had my elder sister. Never did anything ever again at all. Not even a single jog... she keeps saying that it's because of us she had no time... It is a shame but I knew I want to be different. I want to keep going to set an example. I sometimes find myself baking and cleaning and doing chores all day not making time for exercise and play and I catch myself that I'm going to be like my mum and use Minka as an excuse to not do any exercise. I then throw all the dishes and hoover away and go for a workout 🤣💪💪💪💪💗💗💗💗

Hope you're busy creating your own cute story 💗💗💗

@@BeeVargaTheHulahooper working on it! :)

Thank you so much 💗 hope you're inspired to give hooping a try and make fitness fun and playful ❤
