I never thought I would say this but we actually got a workout doing Hula!
Cas and I missioned it all the way to Islington last Saturday to the Old Queens Head Pub for our very first Hula Hooping class/ workout/ lesson..... Whatever! It's a bit of an old dingy pub but has loads of character and friendly locals. Upstairs we met Charlene our Hula expert/ teacher who had the house tunes going and disco lights flowing. Wasn't sure what to expect when we found a pretty much empty room, bar one other girl. I thought maybe this was more of a play around nonsense sort of gig but 'what the hell' we did come all this way so we stayed and gave it a good crack! Well it turns out that Charlene's class last Saturday had about 23 people in it with barely any room to dance or hula!!! So we were quite lucky to have the place to ourselves and a one on one lesson. Charlene turned out to be such a pro with the hula hoop. Spinning it round every part of her body and still dancing around to house music and LOOKING AMAZING!
Cas and I managed to pick it up pretty quickly and could show off a few cheeky spins, grapevines and booty shaking while keeping our hopps spinning. But it is SO much harder than you think!! We left the class desperate to buy our own hula hoop, that's how much fun we had. And Charlene had showed us so many tricks that we struggled with, we were determined to become professional Hula Hoopers. LOL! A decent hoop costs about £20 (charlene makes them). But her class costs only £7 for the hour. Money well spent and we were sore for a few days after!!! Crazy! You can check class times and info here http://www.theoldqueenshead.com/whats-on/
