as of 6/1/2010, I have a hula hoop, and I have been loving it so far! I got the hoop going the very first try, and I have been trying out walking while hooping as my first trick. I hope to be able to do that shoulder head-ducking move sometime in the not too far future, and being able to dance - REALLY dance - while keeping the hoop spinning is going to feel awesome once I get there, I just know it!! :D

a little about me:
've spent the past five years doing some pretty extreme workout regimes, including training for and running the marine corps marathon, running the army 10 miler a few times, doing the avon walk for breast cancer, taking krav maga and brazillian jiu jitsu classes, and crossfit.

'm looking for a way to have fun while getting some good exercise in too [and a way that won't leave me so banged up!!]. I miss dancing at clubs to music that I love, and hope to revive that feeling of "therapy on the dance floor" with hoopdancing around my home!
