Can anyone hula hoop as an adult? And could you as a child?
I've joined a hooping class, it's bloody hard work 
I'm not quite ready to say I can hula hoop but I am much better with a bigger hoop than 1 of those flimsy things we had at school, they do say bigger is better 
What other childhood activities can you do now that maybe you couldn't? |

I’d probably be better on a pogo stick now than when I was a child; back then I couldn’t comprehend the dynamics of how to perform the technique.
Mind you, I’d still likely fall on my arse now after a hop or two  |

That would be me too, I could never do then back then and my balance is still shocking  |

"My mum is on about getting one of those weighted hula hoops she has seen on Tik Tok. Bearing in mind she has rubbish mobility……..
I liked the old style plastic hoops when I was younger."
I can manage the big weighted ones but the old plastic ones feel like nothing, can't feel it so I've got no chance |

Definitely one of those things I assumed I could still do well.
Like skipping...... Used to skip non stop as a kid.... Now I'm knackered more than a half marathon run after 10 minutes. Seriously set my Garmin to cardio!!!
Come on hips..... Move faster!!!! |

I could as a kid I was quite good at it. But as one of my hips is shot to pieces it’s a tad hard now |

I hoop. On body & off body tricks. I own about 8 of different weights & sizes. Even have an LED one which looks great in the dark.
It's actually a really good workout and probably the only exercise I actually enjoy.
Definitely easier to start bigger and heavier and downsize when you feel ready.
Is it just on body hooping they teach OP? |

Skipping is a killer, like you I used to skip all the time. Now even the thought is a workout. But it's a good workout.
Move faster is exactly what my hips need to do |

"Run my dodgy knee won't take it. "
I've never been able to run, hated it as a child and my knee and back tell me no. Did try it for a little a while back but I don't find it enjoyable enough. |

"I could never do it as a child but someone showed me a technique around 3 or 4 years ago and I can do it now"
It's nothing like I thought it was, technique seems pretty easy. Not sure what I'm not getting still |

"Never been able to hula hoop, or do a backward roll. "
What about a forward roll?
I thought they were easy until I went to show a child how to do 1 at work and I couldn't do it myself. Think it was the fear of hurting myself as an adult |

Can do forward ones ok, but I did 2 cartwheels in row after a night out last summer as my mates just could not believe I could. 1 did only mean to do 1 the 2nd was by accident, but somehow managed to style out.  |
