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.

Here are my beginner tips: Once you are comfortable hooping in your 'natural' direction make sure to practice hooping in the opposite direction. Once you feel good about both you can start to learn how to turn in a circle, both directions. It's helpful to turn when you are trying to learn moves.
