On Thursday at Central Park in Perth's CBD, Kirk-Burnnand will attempt to break the current Guinness World Record of spinning more than 162 hula-hoops simultaneously for at least three rotations.

"I think Im going to be really nervous"Im going to be petrified," she said.

"It's always been a record that I have had in the back of my mind, but only in the last six months did I think I could actually do it."

The Happy Healthy Hoops founder is already no stranger to world records, having already broken the record for most number of hoops spun by a group while touring with 10 fellow hoopers.

For this challenge, Kirk-Burnnand said she was building muscle in the gym to spin at least 20kg of hoops around her body.

After taking a hooping fitness class "on a whim" three years ago, Kirk-Burnnand said it had quickly changed her life.

"It was the most fun I had ever had while keeping fit and I was instantly hooked," she said.
