Real Men Hula Hoop

So, it’s a common misconception that hula hooping is sort of a “girl thing.”  95% of the images that come up when you Google search hula hooping depict ladies partaking in the joys of hula-ing.  But, gentlemen, I want to assure you that you too can wield and appreciate the power of the hoop!  

Take my friend Daniel here.  Was he afraid to take a whack at whirling around a hoop?  Of course not!  And check out how successful he was :]  

Although some boys may find that the hooping motion doesn’t come as naturally at first (what can I say, in general we women are more used to moving our hips in a hula-hooping-fashion when we’re dancing etc.), anyone can learn how to use a weighted hoop.  I’ve known a boy or two who refused to even attempt hooping for fear of “looking stupid.”  Really though, even if you struggle, proving that you’re not afraid to potentially look a little silly at first shows that you’re the kind of person that’s probably more fun to hang out with anyway. 

So… You!

Yes, you sir!  I want you to try out hooping today.  Chances are, you’ll fall in love :]
