Is Hula Hooping Too Feminine for Men?

     To answer this question, no, hula hooping is okay for men to do without it being weird. This activity is more female dominant but it has the same benefits for men as they do for women.
    Dizzy Hips is a male hula hoop performer who took hula hooping to a new level but kept his masculinity. He invented the Square la hoop and the two person hoop. He is a great role model for men who want to hoop but are scared about trying it. Here is a link to his blog http://people.tribe.net/dizzy.

     No matter what anyone says, hula hooping is an activity for both men and women. I have taught a couple of my guy friends to hula hoop and they love it! Yes, they are straight men. It is really cool to see them get into it because there are a lack of men who hula hoop. Hula hooping can make women look and feel sexy but that same sex appeal does not have to apply to men. Men's bodies are not meant to move in the same way the women's bodies are.

     Men do not have to stick to the same tricks that women do. Hula hooping is about strength in a lot of ways. There is a trick called isolation that takes a lot of arm strength to do. Here is a link to a video of isolation so you can better understand what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6wLaLsbLK4. There are also tosses and other tricks that take great hand-eye coordination.
    If men really want to make a statement about masculinity, this is a great way to do it. If you learn how to do it and someone tells you that hula hooping is to femanine, ask them to try and see how well they do. Hula hooping is way harder then it looks.
     Hula hooping is a great way to tone your core. Men lose weight faster then women on most occations. If men want to tone their abdominal muscles, this is a great exercise to do it. Do not be scared to try this!\
