Hello hoopers!! I will be turning the big 4-0 in June, and I'm looking forward to expanding my hoop horizons in my 40's. For me, age is JUST a number!!

Hi, CC!  I bid you an early welcome to the group. :)

You're right, age is just a number - like weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and all those other numbers people let govern their lives.  Those things are somewhat important to healthy living, but they shouldn't be the total focus of our existence.

Thank you Traci!! I agree - some days I feel like I'm in my twenties, other days - closer to my age, lol. I'm not going to lie, I'm anxious about turning the big 4-0, but I might  as well embrace it. It happens to everyone sooner or later,lol.

I didn't learn to hoop until I was 43 so don't fear, there's plenty of hooping to do in the fourth decade.  It's not as bad as you currently might think it is going to be.  And remember, you probably felt just as anxious 10 years ago.

I know what you mean about feeling a certain way.  I turned 46 in December and didn't start hooping until right after my 44th birthday.  Some days I still feel like I did in my 20s, while others I feel like - well, like I'm somewhat past my 20s. ;) 

The hoop helps keep us young and young at heart, though, so while you're embracing things, keep embracing your inner (and outer) hoopdancer.
