Do you have a PC? There is a Microsoft application called Windows Live Movie Maker that is easy to use and you can combine videos with it!

Challenge Completed!

I started hooping at the ripe old age of 59 in 2010. Sometime in October or November I started working on passing the hoop behind my back. I thought it would happen before my 60th birthday in December, but I still was dropping the hoop, hitting myself with it, etc. I kept trying though - I even had blisters on my blisters! My hoop instructor would keep encouraging me, "You're SO close!" Some time in January 2011 I finally mastered the move. I was thrilled beyond belief! Here's a very short clip from You Tube showing me complete it almost like it is second nature, which it basically is now!

 

 

Now if an old fart like me can learn hoop tricks, you can too. Patience, practice and persistence pay off.

Challenge Completed!!

The trick that took me so long to learn and made me so frustrated has to be leg hooping! I just couldn't make it look good no matter what I tried. I finally decided to try playing with different sized hoops and I was amazed at how much simpler everything got. I figured out the timing and patterns of each different size and now I could keep the hoop on my legs for hours!!
