Yes, I will be attempting to bring back a childhood activity! :woohoo: I ordered a "weighted" hula hoop after watching a few Youtube videos and foolishly thinking, "I could do that." :biggrin-new: It's supposed to be here on Saturday, so we'll see how this goes.
 

That's great! I had one in my younger years. When it was popular it had to be an Art Linkletter hula hoop. Not sure how he got involved in the whole thing. It was good quality and weighted. I did get pretty good at it. A few years ago I saw one and decided to buy it. It wasn't weighted so it really didn't work so I gave up on the whole idea. Good luck with it. I sure hope you don't have to call 911.
 
Good for you! I had one as a child and cried when I couldn't do it. But I kept at it and soon was pretty darn good. I could shimmy it down to my knees and back up again. What great exercise! Now? LOL.

I brought one back to Indiana from California in 1958 and hardly anyone had seen one yet. They were all the rage out there but it took a while for things to get to the Midwest. My grandmother said they wouldn't let me on the plane with it but I smiled a lot and begged and got to take it on.

Did anyone have a Shoop-Shoop Hula Hoop? It went shoop-shoop-shoop when you twirled it. Don't know why that was such a big deal....
 
I’ve got one I must get it out of hiding it’s a weighted one as well ..1.5 kg ...no matter how hard hubby tries he can’t get it going but I can do about 30 rounds ..or at least I could about 6 months ago when I dragged it out of the wardrobe ..mind you that’s only around the waist no fancy stuff
Ive got a free app on my iPad called how to hula hoop ...now I’m getting off the chair and going to get it out
 
Thanks for the comments (and gardening tips) everyone!! :lol: (I'm looking at YOU, Seeker!!) I am pleased to report that after several attempts I was able to "hula" for 100 revolutions, non-stop. :cool: I will probably be confined to bed tomorrow.

I discovered that I probably bought the wrong weighted hoop for a beginner so I'm going to exchange the 3 pound one for a 1.5 pound.

ooooh good for you... I loved my hula Hoop when I was a kid, I could do all sorts with it, and I could Hula with 2 at the same time. Now, I would be in hospital if I tried, given that I have lower back problems, but if I didn't..I'd love to have one for the exercise.

I didn't know you could get them weighted now, and 3lbs seems very heavy I agree, but 100 revs with a 3lb weight is fabulous but it must have hurt... so do let us know how you get on with the lighter weighted one.. Well done you...

I loved them when I was a kid, too. These new "weighted" ones are a lot different from the toys we had back then.

So far I am still able to walk so I hope I won't regret this tomorrow. :D
 
It means very pleased, usually pleased or proud of one's self....... it's not just a Scottish expression it's a British expression... :D

The expression would be used about yourself as in...I'm chuffed I lost weight..or I'm chuffed I passed my driving test... if you were to use it about someone else's achievements or good news.., you would say...I;m Chuffed For you..
