What difference does hoola hoop size make?
Larger hoops rotate more slowly, smaller hoops rotate more quickly. When learning to hoop, larger hoops are more forgiving because they give extra time to execute movements slowly and accurately. It is easier with larger hoop to begin to feel the hoop moving around your body, to become accustomed to its rhythm, and to develop your own rhythmic response to it. So we recommend starting with a hoop of at least 40 inches. Later, as your skill level increases, if you want to challenge yourself, you may decide to choose a smaller hoop, to play and experiment.
