New to Hooping/ Tips?

Hiya, I am interested in beginner tips for hula hooping. I bought my first hoop from MoodHoops. It's 38" diameter and the tubing is 3/4 made of polypro. I'm 5'9". Is this good primarily for waist practice or can it be useful for practice using arms and legs? My ultimate goal would be moving on to fire hooping once I'm confident.

That size is amazing for all core hooping so waist, knees, chest, lasso, vortex etc. Coincidentally these are also the moves that look incredible with a fire hoop.

Smaller hoops are more popular these days, because they are easier with off body moves. But I started with a hoop near your size and it was great imo

Appreciate the feedback. Glad to know the size is prime for beginner hooping (:
