Avoid loose-fitting dresses, baggy shirts, and loose jewelry. Wear clothing that hugs your body and is comfortable to move in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second safety concern is to be aware of your surroundings. Hula hooping can be dangerous if you&#8217;re not paying attention to what&#8217;s around you. Avoid hula hooping near traffic and make sure you have enough space around you so you don&#8217;t hit anything or anyone while hula hooping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And finally, listen to your body.
