Hooping Fitness, Hoop Dancing & How to Hula Hoop

[ThatGirlNamedSarah]

Thank you so much for this!

[Agent007998]

I have to ask you a question.. I am about to start gymnastics class.. I'm 13 years old.. And one of my friends told me that gymnasts usually have small breasts, and they can't have kids.. :'/ is that true????? Please, responde, i'm realy scared.. ♥

[LaurenLeventry]

@Agent007998 I am 21 years old and I have seen A LOT of gymnasts in my lifetime. I can tell you that it is NOT true that gymnasts have small breasts and can't have kids. Those things about your body have nothing to do with whether or not you are into gymnastics. Gymnastics are actually very good for you! I hate to tell you this but truthfully, your friend is probably jealous that you get to take a gymnastics class and she doesn't. Everything will be fine! Hope this helps. ~Lauren

@Agent007998 Well, breasts are made of fatty tissue, so if you're very thin then you probably wont have very big breasts (there are rare exeptions) But you will still be in fantastic shape, and thats better than being in poor shape, just so your breasts can be a bit larger. It was dumb of your friends to say that to you, like the other girl said, it sounds like they are jealous & a bit catty. Real friends should be proud of you & supportive. (PS. some men like small breasts)

[itscat92]

@Agent007998 Also, my Aunt who was stick thin at the time, had 3 kids, and her daughter who is also stick thin had a baby too. (They are naturally thin, and not unhealthy)

I have that chick in the blue's hula hoop.

[aglacanilao]

there's no hulahoop teacher here in san pablo city, philippines! :( how should i do it?

[lovetheink]

@aglacanilao hey have you seen taletadong pinoy - the one with astroboy? He's here in the philippines and he teaches hooping in quezon city and the fort.

[trinhmyhuong]

Pear woman :D

[gemgen101]

haha that pink hula hoop the host has i used during my first (and only because it was a visit to the area) class! cool :D

[gafeldm]

I think you can take the hoop out of this video, and add a better word. It would get a lot more views.

[atkinsgina]

that end part was bad ass

[mkara20]

unity is my hero!

[nehaRshah]

what is the name of the hoop that she is using?

[clogon01]

Is there a specific certification for hooping? If so who offers one?

[yugiohz1]

um... i cant do it!

[SToyaholic]

I have this awesome trick that see's the hoop go from the arm to the leg. So you start off with it round your hand, slowly lay on the floor, then switch from arm to leg. It's difficult to reverse it, but it feels great for your leg muscles.

[linette321]

I cannot hula hoop if my life depended on it. :(

[SToyaholic]

@linette321 have you tried a weighted hoop? They are a lot easier than the childrens ones. Don't tense up when you're hooping, just relax and let your knees limp up.

[mariushkitty]

nice ! and good work i know how to do it !

[srf725]

Awesomeeeeeeeeeeee



[spinel20]

cool~~~~~~~~~~~

[FateDelamorte]

Valentina is fricken awesome. I'm going to give hooping a try!!

[TheAmyshannon]

that girl has the prettiest body i have ever seen....

[Diduforget15]

Not even 4 months later after starting I can almost do every single trick in the video :D The only bad thing about it is you can get really dizzy and the turning part of hula hooping gets addictive..

[miyukimatches]

@Diduforget15 A trick I've found helps is to go into lasso and turn once in the opposite direction, helps you straighten out! :)

[lmaballa]

I want to know what is the name of the cd in this video,, I love the beat , relaxing and perfect for hooping or yoga,, please respond asap..thanks

[AllsionMoonshine]

ahhhmazing! I want to do that!!!

[Mashedpotatoes0]

just started a couple days ago!!! its tough but so much fun!

[zelenator]

i cant do it!!! its so difficult for me!! i dont know how you make it!!

[TheNitricOxide]

Nice job on the video looks good. When you have time come visit my channel!

[laughrrr]

loved it more videos please

[qatralnada200]

good (:

[getfitwithnicole]

the girl in purple is soooo good! she has a nice stomach too

[themadisonshow100]

i am themadisonshow100 i think you should look at my videos i love yours

[dontlovehate1]

Does it make your muscles bigger? Since it's wighted

HOPE NOT!

Cuz i just wanna lose wight NOT gain muscles

is a 4.4 lb hula-hoop okay?

is it okay if it doesn't have the tape thingy?

would someone please reply!

[steamwhistle28]

@dontlovehate1 a 4lb hoop is huge. I wouldnt suggest using anything larger than 3lbs. Dont buy a squiggly hoop either. Those dig into your skin and bruise horribly.

[MrsDaimere]

I love Unity. She seems so nice and friendly here. ^_^

[malvavisco10]

It looks gross to have your belly button hanging out, even if you have a pretty flat stomach. Other than that, good moves.

[deviouswun]

How odd, as a kid I was never any good but as an adult I'm so much better. It's great and really gets your heart going if you do it for 40mins+.

[25547474]

maybe this is stupid question but can this help a man to lose stomach fat and get a 6 pack abs

[Quineishaful]

wow looks hard

[asianmaddness]

what the hell is she wearing

[anticongent]

null points because holla hoop and talking are two different things

[InertiaHoop]

unity is so adorable and sexy in this. wonderful vid!

[ravemama69]

I started hooping classes last nite, loved every minute of it :oD

[HayleeHalogenX]

I would loveee to do this! But people like *cough* "Unity" kill it for me. Hippies piss me off...

[kundalinidancer8]

She is a Bellydancer too! She has some awesome videos of bellydance/hoop combinations! Really great.

[alsaxon]

Did she specify how much weight to start with? I see 1lb to 4lb? I am a beginner and can't hula hoop. So want to make sure I start with the right weight as not to discourage myself anymore.

[peneleapai]

so sweet!! how can u fail to look absolutly gorgeous & cheer up anyone watchin , doin this?

i remember seein a wee lass do this (well, she had three or MORE gigantic hooops on her) in da streets of Waikiki yrs ago.... sigh... idyllic memories for us livin here in "green" (ie, cool & damp) Ireland :-)

any advice on folk who don't HH alredy, like who never did as kids, and so mebbe have a block on it now as adults ? ahem.

Tanks :o)

[Glamouracecollies]

She does look like a belly dancer, I love this video,

I just started hooping 3 weeks ago, and I'm so happy to hoop just regular now.

I really like to learn those tricks

[Clove814]

Where did you get that rainbow hoop??? It's so beautiful!

[Gothorse16]

This is awesome i can't wait to try! :)

[007Hunkguy]

@unitythegypsyqueen

You look very attractive.

[maewestgg]

I am a senior, this has been the best thing I have done in years---what a work out for balance - I strongly suggest it.

[Warriorcat07]

really awesome! Valentina looks a little bit like a bellydancer:-)

[7tracey7]

@Warriorcat07 yeah, I agree both your comments :-)

[miyukimatches]

@Warriorcat07 She is! :D



[bo0pbo0pmo0p]

@Warriorcat07 She is a belly dancer. :) She does belly dancing with her hula hooping and it looks really really beautiful! ^-^

[YUMcharli]

AWESOME!

i now know what im going to be doing this summer :D

[DHMunroe]

Awesome vid! I love how through and in depth this was...pretty much answered the initials questions I had in full.

[SuperSaba2010]

omg its so hard im trying it out and my hoop keeps falling down i cant see to et the hang of it ??

can someone help ?

[DmMAGIC]

@SuperSaba2010 what size is your hoops diameter? and what kind of tubing is it/where did you get it?

[kaycolby]

@SuperSaba2010 Try hooping your hips side to side. I could never hoop as a kid, and I just started, and am still having trouble rocking front to back, but I can do it side to side. Also, be sure that you are using a large hoop. Good luck and have fun!

[cosmogurl220]

it looks sooo much fun.. last night i try hula hooping with my bf but i was not good but i'm going to try again later for 20 minutes .. i'm going to put it on my workout routing .. hopefully soon i can do cool tricks :)

[ycr9699]

[wichesbritches]

@ycr9699 Melodia pants and skirt look on ebay
