hula hoops
Spinning waist toys
Hula hoops are large plastic rings spun around the body, typically the waist, by rhythmic hip movements.
Originally a children's toy and 1950s craze, they remain popular for play and exercise: She can keep three hula hoops going at once.
The name comes from the similarity of the hip motion to Hawaiian hula dancing.
