For a beginning hooper, this does teach you some basics of how to get that hula hoop going, and keep going, to burn some calories and enjoy yourself. It's also a video to "grow" with as you get better at hooping. I noticed the gal has a smaller hoop than the exercise hoop sizes that are being suggested, but I think that, too, adds to the challenge as I get better--it's harder to hoop with a small hoop. This gal can sure hoop! She does a lot of things, like "dancing" while hooping, so it'll provide some fun as I get better. I enjoyed it, and I'll refer to it more and more the better I get. Good stuff:)
This dvd is very informative, it shows the moves step by step and I found it to be lots of fun! The music is energetic, and the instructor is easy to follow. I've tried live classes, other dvd's and friends teaching me hula hoop tricks but Christabel here just makes the moves clear and simple, gives you a great workout without getting all drill sergeant-y, and creates a fun, safe, effective learning environment in your own living room!
I enjoy hula hooping and when I heard there was workouts revolved around it I got excited. The workout however is not for me. DVD was in excellent condition but I probably won't use it again.

I gave this to my girlfriend for her birthday a couple of weeks ago. She was able to very quickly learn the hoop handling skills taught by the video and it has inspired her to keep on hoopin'! She gets better and better at it by the day and she's feeling better and better both physically and emotionally as she continues with her new-found hobby.
great for people new to hooping and those looking to build strength and stamina! ....dance party sections could have been a little longer though...
