Hey guys guess what? The newest craze in hoop town is here, it's my diabolic hula hula! I don't know what got into me but for some weird reason, I bought a Hula. Just because... well why not? I was just trying to stay sane these days.
Don't get dizzy, this was just me hula hooping with my all new diabolic hoop. It turns out, it's not just for little kids. It's for big kids too. :)
So why hula when I could just go the the gym? You mean gym with people? Ugh please. The idea is already giving me anxiety. Hula hooping is for true born misanthropes like me because you can do it at your own space. Y'know, alone in your thoughts or while listening to some cool music. You don't have to drive to the gym, use boring equipment and pretend you enjoy working out with people and inhaling their sweats.
To be honest, it is hard to find the motivation to go out or even to exercise these days. I don't really want to waste time doing something when I could just spend time in my bed, stare at the wall, and question my existence. Talking about being productive! But yeah, sure, we all need some physical activity to stay mentally okay. I guess it is just hard to find the right fitness routine that I can consistently stick to.
I thought about hula hooping when I was a child. That was fun. Now am I being a kid again? I thought why not relieve those days. Then I learned that there are even serious hoopers out there on YouTube, doing tricks and all. So I bought my first adult hula online for less than $20 and I got this 90cm weighted hula that can be disassembled. This cheap and simple exercise equipment is the solution to my ageing waistline that is now hard to maintain, ha!
Well, this is actually more for my mind than for my body. I don't really need to workout that much but I still need some kind of physical activity to feel good. It's for my mood dude. Plus, exercising makes me less diabolic. I'm sure you want me to be a pleasant person to be around with.
Hula hooping is a proper fun workout that anyone can try. I've been consistently hula hooping everyday for almost a month now, so I guess it's a sign. I usually try something new then just give up when I couldn't make it right or perfect (perfectionism issues). My Gawd, I've already tried so so many things (workout, arts and stuff, hobby...) in this life. So whenever I don't give up on something it means that I must really like doing it, but let's see for a couple of weeks more. If I still haven't stopped hula hooping then maybe it's my new passion. Who knows I might even buy a lighter and pro version for hand tricks and stuff. Watch out!
That hula hoop looks good on you and you look very good for your age ( no offense ) ;<)
I totally get you. I have thought, several times, of getting some boxing gloves and a punching bag as well as a skipping rope to work out - at home - on lazy days or rainy days. And - like you - I don't necessarily need this equipment for my physique but it would be helpful to strengthen my mental health on lesser days.
P.S. Have you ever seen the movie "The Hudsucker Proxy" by the Coen Brothers? I remember it making fun of inventions like the hula hoop. I enjoyed it quite a lot when I watched it a decade or two ago :<)
did you really wrote, "you look very good for your age"?
ditch the age: she looks good! well, looks perfect! full stop! 😉
So true, it's all for the mind for me but the body benefits would be a huge bonus!
Haha that film sounds interesting! I will check it out. Hula hooping is fun - ny!
And.....the winner of winners for your core and ass! (and no gym muscle lurkers is a winner)
He he he anti-gym rats unite!
I've tried the hoop, but could never get the hang of it.
You make it look pretty cool!
I will buy a thin and lighter hoop and hopefully master some hand tricks.
Then I will post the tutorial here for you! :)
I am excited for Diabolika tutorials...pretty much no matter the subject!
One Hoola to rule them all! BRRAAAHHH....
Hula is all you need ! ☺️🙏
Diabolika turned soft and pleasant by Hula Hooping! WEEEEEEEEEEE 🥳
Still the most favourite thing to do? Still Hula-ing?
I remember me trying the Hula back in the days when I was a child. Was never really good at it. That said, wasnt really trying as well. Since those days, never ever tried again.... Oops am lying, at some hippie festival tried it, but failed miserably. However, reading your post makes me think to get one myself. The perks are amazing. Sport at home! I really need to do some of that, I mean sport. And best is to do it with something fun, and something that is darn easy, like something at home (or in the park and make all the others in the park laugh like hell because I'll likely s*ck at Hula Hooping).
Any suggestions and/or tips regarding 1) acquiring a hula 2) handle the Hula?
NJOY to the MAX and BEYOND 😉
Aww thanks for checking on me. Yessss I'm still hula hooping! It's my permanent fun work out now.
I think you should try again, this guy's can do some tricks here, so can you!
I'm practing the cork screw thing but I think I need a proper or a lighter hula hoop for hand tricks!
I think here's where you can buy it, according to the youtuber haha. I bought mine local, Amazon shipping is too expensive for a hoop.
Where to buy
owww there is a variety of hoops? maybe a whole science lies behind hooping.
euhm, next time I'm at this hippie place we have just outside my tiny home town, I shall study what they do. some do hooping. some even with fire and all.
