Big Hoop Vs. Small Hoop…Size Matters!
Does Size Matter. Why YES it is. Especially when picking a hula hoop!
Question:
So I got the arm hoop down…only right side so far. I had to stop. My hoop is too big and was hurting. So I think I need a smaller size.
I definitely don’t want to stop.
Answer:
Yep I definitely like to have what I loosely call On-body hoops (generally speaking a little bigger ad/or heavier), and Off-body hoops (usually a little smaller and/or lighter). That being said, you Can interchange the size/weight of the hoop, just know that the moves might move slower with the bigger hoop or faster with the smaller hoop. Also with a heavier hooping the moves on stronger body parts, like your may be easier to get and execute. If you are instead rotating the hoop on your hand, arm, foot, etc. you may want to use a smaller lighter hoop so you don’t have to strain as much to use it. It also helps prevent more bruising and injury.
