hula hooping
Spinning circular toy
Hula hooping is spinning a large ring around the body by rhythmic hip movements, keeping it aloft through continuous circular motion.
The hoop typically circles the waist, though skilled practitioners work it around limbs, neck, or multiple body parts.
Once a 1950s toy craze, it persists as exercise and performance art: She took up hula hooping for fitness.
