GimmeMedals Aug 2014 9:27am, 14 Aug 2014 11,618 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals I'm starting with 5 minutes at a time. Day 1 - I built the hoop but it looked huge and was heavy so I took 2 sections out. 3 or 4 spins was the most I managed. I watched some YouTube clips for advice from the experts. They make it look easy. I learned that the hoop needs to reach up to your waist from the ground for beginners - big is better! Day 2 - I put the 2 sections back in to make the hoop bigger. I managed 5 spins a few times but I'm getting bruised ankles from the hoop keep landing on them. Day 3 - progress! I managed 7 or 8 spins a few times and a 10 once my waist is feeling a bit tender and my muscles are very gently complaining, so it must be doing some good. I measured my waist today. I'm hoping to see some reduction over the weeks.
