Why start hooping with a big hoop?
Since hooping is more about dance, fun and creative expression than gyrating frantically to keep a small hoop going, bigger hoops are always easier to start with. Most people (ages 8-82) of average size will be able to keep a typical starter hoop (between 41-43 inches diameter) going with ease. People who are more generously sized in height or width, or have accumulated tension or blocks in their bodies may want to start with an even larger hoop and/or one weighted with water. Bigger hoops are groovy, easy, massaging and relaxing. I make smaller, lighter hoops for children, though most kids 8 and up can use the average ‘adult’ size. Feel free to contact me with any questions and see also the Hoop Store for more info.
