Collapsible Hula Hoop

Step 5Collapse your hoop for travel

Collapse your hoop for travel
Folding the hoop takes just a few seconds.
 
* Position the hoop with the joins at the top and bottom of the hoop.
* Grasp the tube near the top join. Place your foot on the hoop near the bottom join
* Push down and slightly away from your body.  The hoop should begin to take a figure-eight shape. NOTE: The tubing is stiff, so don't be afraid to apply some pressure to get it to fold.
* Fold one half of the figure-eight on top of the other.  The tube will twist on the connectors at the joins.
* Sling the folded hoop across your body and go!

PS: Don't store your hoop in the folded position. It might conform to that shape and be out of round when you unfold it. It's hard to hoop with a wobbly hula hoop!
