So my goal for the 100 hoop day challenge is to hoop everyday for at least 30 minutes a day. I fell in love with hooping in 2010 and even though I have not hooped for all three years it has always been in my heart. I can't adequately articulate how hooping has changed my life and how it has changed me. I know some people are thinking "Hooping really hooping changed you life?" Yes, really hooping did change my life.

When I found hooping I was not in a good place my grandmother had just passed away after having Alzheimer's for about 15 years. Then my brother was hit by a car, luckily he was ok. And then the straw that broke the camels back my dog Viggo was killed by a car. I was so sad then I found hooping and it made me happy. My grandma would have loved it,she would be showing me up.

I now have two kids and they love it. My daughter hoops right along with me. My kids and hooping have changed my life. So my goal for this is to hoop 30 minutes a day as a way to sane in our crazy world. I definitely notice a change in my patience level when I don't hoop that day. Hooping makes me calmer and not a a crazy witch. And also after having two kids I have gained some weight so it would nice to loose that extra weight.

Sorry for the long explanation. So that is my goal hoop to sane and get my curves back. Good luck with your challenge and happy hooping.

Counting today as my first day, I'll finish Sept 2, 2013...a few days after fall semester starts up again. My own goal is just to pick up my hoop every day, even if it's just literally picking it up and putting it down again. I know that my own physical limitations will preclude seriously rocking out the way I did tonight (alright, it was mostly very enthusiastic waist hooping to some excellent music). I want to set my self up for success while also keeping the feel for the hoop in my hands and maintain the discipline of coming back to the hoop again and again.

Just began yesterday, but I'm so in.  So Day two, for me, and looking forward to trying and learning new moves!  Last night I had decided to FINALLY practice the scorpion.  I expected to spend weeks struggling with this.  Wouldn't you know, with the shining sun and the crisp air keeping my calm--I got it.  I'm still struggling with bringing my right arm through (as i hoop to the left) to bring the hoop back on my body the way Babz does in her tutorial.  However, I can at the very least, grab the hoop with my foot, bring it around my body with my leg and grab it with my right hand and place it on my body.  I also noticed this was much harder with my smaller hoops and that just may be due to the amount of space needed and I'm not as limber as I could be.  So that is my own personal curriculum for now--to keep practicing and perfecting this specific move within my daily hoop routines for the next 100 days.  Oh and also--my booty is sore!!! Anyone else have that issue with the scorpion? Maybe I just practiced that move too much at one time?  I never have soreness from hoop moves!! At least I'm workin dat booty!! Happy hooping!

I am on day 2! Awesome leg hooping tip: invest in some ankle warmers. They have SAVED my ankles on countless cold mornings in the past. I love hooping but I hate banged up ankles from fall-down recoveries or when I'm practicing hoop pickups. I can't wait to see some videos! I think we should totally have a video challenge associated with this. I love before-after anything! And even after day 1 I am already better.
