Hula hooping has been around since the early 20th century. It was originally a form of exercise for children, but it became popular in the 1950s as an activity for adults. In the 1960s and 1970s, hula hooping gained popularity among teenagers and young adults. By the 1980s, hula hooping had become a fad with many people taking part in competitions. Since then, hula hooping has continued to be a popular activity, especially for fitness enthusiasts.
